About 30 min to go thru the muzzle loader stuff (hate sharing range with day pass idiots), then the rest to swap ranges and shoot some groups and bang at the 200 yard steel a bit. Wait for cold, pull target, take apart stand/backer, put in place, grab stuff, walk the 25 yards to next range over, grab stuff to build target stand/backer, wait for cold, put that out, shoot a few groups, wait for cold, move target out, shoot more groups, shoot steel, wait for cold, retrieve target, take apart, etc. wait for hot to handle gun, pack up and leave.
If it had just been me I could have cut the time needed to do all of that in half... But for a short range (for the ML) my choices were to be on the members only range with some 3gun tactiweenies practicing or to share with a couple of daypass yahoos who were having troubles getting a 338 Mag zeroed at 15 yards using one of those super fancy laser-ranging auto-adjusting super-scopes. Had to let the inner Karen out and raise hell about playing with guns and loading mags when the range is cold, etc.
Moved to the long side to shoot the 223 bolt gun, and had it to myself... until I finished putting out the 100 yard target. Got a different daypass yahoo who couldn't see the holes in his paper thru his scope so he wanted to call the line cold after every three shots. Turns out he wanted to share during the long walk back from the targets to the line, and he was the son of the other daypass yahoo on the short range. Eish.... After finishing the 223 I went ahead and packed up and left instead of getting the muzzle loader back out (steel gongs at 200 are fun with the 54
)
