I don't find shooting at a range fun at all, just standing there and dumping ammo into a piece of paper with a bunch of rules. shooting outdoors and bringing lots of fun targets(waterbottles,watermelons,tannerite,paintcan,etc.) is hard to beat for fun. especially if you have about a thousand yards to play with. the only range time I see is working up loads in the dead of sumer when its too hot to go out and hike a mile. competition, I dunno, but I hope to know soon
