[@p.dillen1907]

"A golf course is the willful misuse of a potential gun range." Beautiful range!

[@deldridg]

A gun range is the wilful misuse of a potential golf range. [Oops - wrong thread... ducks and runs like hell] Some would like to combine the two! :-)

[@JonathanLov]

All sports have their place.

[@jerrysmith8436]

It truly is.

[@pabloo7422]

This is a Historic moment

[@tarheel4wd]

I know!! I got excited as soon as I saw the title!

[@A_Final_Hit]

A plate of warm, buttery pancakes, Sunday morning coffee, and a new Hickok45 video. It's a great morning!

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Life is good.

[@rzrselliott]

Jason M Just your comment makes me feel good

[@emileponcelet3439]

Who tf eats pancakes in the morning

[@mikefay9131]

Jason M yeah man. He's the best

[@harrisoncunha9381]

Dude this comment makes me feel so dang good 😂

[@heckler3119]

It's not the same as the old range, but with time it'll get better!

[@ethanparker2362]

Congratulations, Hickok! Your (and John’s) hard work and vision have resulted in a lifestyle that most of us now envy. I’ve personally had many opportunities throughout my life to follow various of my dreams, but have mostly allowed lethargy or else fear to hold me back. Kudos to you both for not allowing that to happen. Yes, life is good, but it’s even better when we work hard!

[@hickok45]

Thanks. "Hard work," "vision," and LUCK. :-)

[@grantpurcell4459]

Surprised there’s not more Patreon’s...so many viewers and subscribers. I don’t do those things but for this guy, you Hickok45 and your son, it’s well worth contributing. Specially since I’ve been getting valuable information, humor, and “gun smithing” advice...from your green shooting table to the nice looking animal skin covers. From putting a lawnmower down, to blowing up a hotdog from a revolver. I even remember trying to see how much a 10mm recoils from your early side view comparison lol. Great job you two.

[@jefffawver3389]

Thank you for your years of service.I was proud to meet you and John at Buds in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Very informative videos watch you guys all the time.

[@milehighed52801]

Congrats! Looks awesome. I've been watching you and John for years. It's about time you had a new range to freshen things up. You're able to move around more when you shoot. Very nice, I'm jealous. Good luck and always be safe. 😎👍🏻🇺🇸💥

[@mainetuatara]

You sir, are an inspiration.. I have set up 3 ranges so far ( 15yd pistol, 100yd rifle, and 200yd longshot) due to your channel. HICKOK45 for President 2020

[@hungryfilms3707]

Nothing is more relaxing than good ol Hickok

[@genegene002]

When I worked at a place running a CNC burny 10 machine and had scrap steel left over mainly 1/2" I would burn out different size circles and squares and if it was not hardened steel I would bring it home and harden it myself and put them on my range. It was great being able to get FREE steel targets. It was a heavy fab shop so we had just about any grade steel you wanted! I even fabricated a couple 4"x3" Bullet traps with a 1/2 steel plate at a 45 degree angle for the back to drive the bullets straight to the ground and for the front sides I used steel channel so when the boards were all shot up you can slide it out and slide a new one right in. Real easy! Your camera must make an optical illusion because your 80 yard gong looks further away then my last target that is 100 yards. I always thought that even on your main range!

[@KillaCommieFerMommie]

Always amazed at what a GREAT shot hicok45 is.... Would definitely want him on my team!!

[@Kingwoodish]

KillaCommieFerMommie no kidding!

[@wpherigo1]

It’s a Poplar Tree? How poplar is it? Seriously - congratulation on your “new” range! Looks great. I appreciate the attitude you’ve been brining to KZbin for these many years. Stay safe and have fun.

[@cmtptr]

wpherigo1 it's the electoral votes that matter.

[@404BOOMER]

A poplar tree and it's made of wood. What will they think of next.

[@hulado]

tulip poplar. can live about 200 years. pretty blossoms.

[@ronaldbiggs4800]

I just started to watch Hickok 45 and what a breath of fresh air, a very informative and knowledgeable gentleman especially for the American gun culture, being a teacher he brings an, I think, educated approach also with associated life skills he has clearly lived through. I live in Australia and I love to shoot if I could have a compound/ range like yours, wow awesome I could shoot my guns on the way to getting my mail, awesome.We have very backward ideas/ notions about gun freedom- the ability to enjoy the sport and the culture without the criminal or thug overtones we seem to suffer in Australia. I'll never get to America and I'll never meet Mr Hickok, so for me Mr Hickok keep up the good work, you are an honest delivery of reason for a very much debated topic and much maligned lifestyle. Love your work.

[@rzrselliott]

I'm proud to be a part of this moment in history. Hickok is the man!

[@danlawson625]

rzrselliott a Aa

[@goriverman]

Everyone favors the old one but this one is a little different and it will grow on us for sure. I love to see some pop up type targets there. Beautiful job on the range . Looks allot cooler there and it will be easier on you in the heat of the summer

[@nickw7619]

I know I'm 3 years late to the game on this specific video, but I just wanna say- Hickok, when you say life is good it permeates into me. You truly have a slice of heaven out there, and it just goes to show no matter your age it's never too late to start doing something (i.e. making a KZbin channel- that's doing pretty dang well actually). I hope you can continue to enjoy your 'slice of heaven' in good health, both you and your family

[@johnharvey892]

You're only missing one thing...... You got to have a cowboy Target. Just a plain old gong can't draw on you. Lol! I can only speak for myself but I think I speak for almost all your subscribers when I say.... I appreciate the time that you spend to post these things for us to watch. I have had a great deal of fun over the past 12 years watching you. I've been educated a little bit along the way. And I have definitely been entertained. My three favorite videos.... Are probably when I first started watching. Absolute number one without a doubt has to be shotgun tree trimming. Then there was one on how to get a soccer ball out of a drainage ditch. And the very first one I ever watched was you shooting up a lawn mower that wouldn't start. For me personally the best and biggest thing that you've given me is the appreciation for older firearms. I know I commented some videos back.... About taking my daughter to the Chickamauga Battlefield. And for the first time going through that gun Museum I was enthralled. Every time I had been before I was kind of like "yeehaaylf.... Old guns so what." But this time with education and knowledge I was completely amazed and was able to pick out things that I didn't know before. So anyway...... Thank you for all that you do. And I look forward to seeing videos on The Gong Show.

[@roykiefer7713]

THANK YOU, watching this video is a wonderful way to begin a Sunday - life IS good - and I truly appreciate ALL your hard work!

[@tryshard3477]

It will be a while until we hear thousands of brass rustling under him again

[@GuamanianBlood619]

Tryshard give it a week or so lol

[@2450logan]

Damn it you beat me..

[@joeleadslinger6138]

Tryshard Brass aren't left on the ground Hitchcock reloads.

[@joeleadslinger6138]

Steven Li Yes he gets lots of free ammo, but he still reloads.

[@Indianahillclimber]

Tryshard lol

[@censutube]

Respect!, I am from the UK (moved here recently) where it is near next to impossible to do something like you do. But seeing your videos educated me so much, I now have a serious inclination to take up shooting. Thank you sir! You are an inspiration!

[@blazinpuffs]

We love you hickok. Thanks for what you do.

[@livinginswva1965]

Thanks Hickock. I always enjoy your videos. Congrats on the new range.

[@LatestHour]

I like the fact you switched it up, I've watched the old range for a very long time and this is refreshing.

[@archerpiperii2690]

"When the Main Range is a little too sunny we can come over here..." Life is good when you have the property and can make that statement! Peace.

[@GuamanianBlood619]

Haha "where am i what am i doing here what is the meaning of life ?" Looks like hickoks been smoking "pot" in the woods again 😅

[@jameschristiansson3137]

The pottery industry appreciates hickok45 in a big way. "Make pots great again!"

[@michaellissow543]

I want a "Smoke Pot" T-shirt from Hickok45

[@41magfan]

Fruit loops and Hickok, life is good

[@roostershooter76]

I wish I could keep my home range as clear as yours. Here, where I live in Kentucky, the grass grows as fast in the shade as everywhere else.

[@hickok45]

Eventually, Kentucky will discover lawn mowers and such. Just give it time. :-)

[@Archivedcontent]

Roundup, Tordon, Ranger Pro, are all some good starting points. And keep the mower or brush-hog going. You'll be just fine.

[@Jimmyt75]

Shoot the grass

[@radenks7176]

i want that range in my backyard and I don't even have a backyard

[@generalkenobi4509]

Just get a lot of plywood and make one 😂😂😂😂

[@justinuriahphoto]

Only three and a half million subscribers? I figured you’d be well over ten million by now. People need to remember to hit that subscribe button.

[@FREEDOMEAGLE556]

You are a huge inspiration, I love your channel, I'd love to shoot with you!!!

[@TheWeatherbuff]

Mr. Hickok, I've been watching your vids since 1911... um, I mean 2011. I'm always amazed that you haven't lost a beat. Now that I've figured out Patreon, I'm honored to send you a few bits a month. Keep 'em coming!

[@dELTA13579111315]

I have to say, I love the camera you film with. I think it's great that I'm able to actually watch the slower moving rounds travel through the air and impact the gong, and even occasionally see which way the bullet splatters in real time

[@DannySchneible]

You are awesome! You are the Bob Ross of shooting! "Shoot a little hog over here, soda bottle over there...Lonely little soda bottle here.... Smoke some pot... Oh yeah"

[@69CamaroSS]

Love the new range and diversity of targets and distances. You're very Blessed to have the land, time, health and funding to enjoy it the way that you do! Hopefully one day I will be able to do the same! 🤔👍🙏

[@semperfi-1918]

You remind me of an old vet and his quote" if I can do...... you darn kids aught to do it better." But as well as you shoot I think you put 90% of those who shoot a regular basis to shame. Lol. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@judenazon8111]

way to go hichok 45 always nice to see you shoot those targets.

[@TheRockmart]

hickok 45 for prez!!!

[@09applejacks]

I must say you're one of the coolest guys on the planet and you're full of humility in my opinion you're a superstar. God bless you sir.

[@rickshackleford6478]

Great Range...I’m watching for a new shooting the breeze. I wish you would transfer them to podcast ... listen while driving. Really appreciate you Guys...

[@writelyons]

I guess you get flat dirt from flat earthers! Love the new range, thanks for all that you do.

[@randystockton624]

Always great to watch a true American, keep up the good work supporting sport shooting and educating people how to handle weapons and remember when you are attact just tell like it is being respectful and truthfull no matter who it offends.

[@bambamthecamocowboy9037]

40 acres, Log Home, Gun Ranges, Got a Lake? Love Your Compound!!!!

[@WarBorn313]

Really like the new range and thank you for the walk through. Really appreciate all the time you take to show us and explain everything you can. Love the stories you throw in there too.

[@remingtonsteele9971]

I care about all of it. Love to see the property and the ranges. I have my own land that I've been setting up copy cat steel-plate-on-shepard-hook ranges on. Every night I leave out good coffee and donuts hoping Hickok will come by and quiz me. He never has. I am disappoint.

[@hickok45]

One day I'll get around to all of you!

[@mrPauljacob]

Hickok your sense of humor is so damn funny

[@BlackSheep1]

I like the new range. The targets seem much more spread out and farther out too. Very cool, you guys are living the good life. Thanks for sharing.

[@imrich884]

I think you need to call the videos you shoot there "The Gong Show.' You can dress up as Chuck Barris packing heat.

[@jackb.hardtime53]

Rich R. If only Gene Gene the dancing machine was still alive

[@imrich884]

Triple F Farms Gene Gene the dancing machine. Jamie Farr.....Why’d ya do it. Taking me back a long ways.

[@nmr6988]

I'm a proud member of the Patreon Gong Club! Everyone should join your Patreon channel!

[@ironhorse127]

50 dislikes. Why would anyone dislike this video? Hickok45 shooting. That itself is a thumbs up. Nice video. Changing it up a little

[@richiemac2395]

Snowflakes no doubt

[@movingforward6099]

You guys are doing a great job! I enjoy your channel very much! I've been watching for a few years now and always look forward to new videos! Thanks and cheers!

[@kylepeter6862]

Yall already know its Ya boi Hickok45

[@hunter1776]

the more i miss the more i can shoot. the words of Mr Hickok 🤟🤟😎

[@chrisgentry9255]

Listening to you sir, talking about guns, or anything for that matter... is like drinking a cold beer on a hot day. Relaxing. Thanks for all the great content. I got my ruger sr9c because of you. Love the handgun and i am looking forward to fitting it with a red dot and silencer.

[@swvafarmer]

I am so glad I got to meet this guy 4 years ago at a meet and greet

[@kpm7264]

Went shooting for the first time yesterday for my birthday. Was awesome but the 308 does kick.

[@isaaccopeland3120]

philippe merrette You'll get used to it.

[@tkx86]

Hey hickok45 so I have sent the adoption papers to ya.

[@joachimkiesler4580]

Do not push forward

[@meggyfarnsworth626]

Hickok is my gun whisperer...😊 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@RKHarm24]

Real NICE UNCLUTTERED RANGE. Like you said, flatter and room to roam. Moving and shooting is good to practice. Does not have to be jump and run. Good change up for range #2

[@gstogie]

That's a goal to get out of NYC and get a piece of land like that to get a setup like that.

[@Kingwoodish]

GregFromthe Nyc. What's keeping you?! Move here to Texas, you'd have a good time. My wife was from NYNY, she had a saying that once you wore out a pair of shoes here you were a Texan.😎

[@edha4827]

Was born on 109th St. Every time I read something about DiBlasio, etc. I feel less likely to ever go back again. C'mon out West and strap on some iron!

[@joecliffordson]

At first I thought you said to NYC. I was thinking hmmm. How’s that gonna work

[@dylandrums13]

Here upstate ny is ok,, I mean I can shoot in my backyard "nothin like hickoks range" but enough for my needs & we got a handful of gun clubs as little as 2 miles from me to 15 so I can't complain!

[@deesteve4156]

If that's ur face I'm not sure they'd like you in the south

[@Lawrence64]

You did really hit the red gong. But the other one ... on the right. Thanks for sharing your new range. Very cool.

[@marksullivan2978]

I don't care where you shoot. Any time this channel shoots down range is a like from me. This new set up is fine. I"LL ALWAYS STAY TUNED.

[@078249]

I would like to see a video where you talk about your shooting style, stance and how you got to be such a good shot. I’m interested in the fact you shoot the same way every time, I do notice you keep your strong arm very straight. Your one of the best shots I’ve seen and your consistency is superb. Something to be proud of for sure. Please share some of your skills you have learned over the years.

[@MrSonofagun45]

I had a nightmare that Hickok45 moved to NY City. I was so happy to wake up to this video😂

[@blake102989]

It would be awesome to be able to shoot there in the woods with all angles. Best set up I've seen hickok45!

[@kylepeter6862]

Little does he know what this shooting range is about to become

[@silverback3926]

Another nice target rich place. Miss the noise of old brass under foot. Lol. Always great videos.

[@nick3718]

Awesome! A little change of scenery never hurt nobody.

[@Ridgerunner6.5]

Mr Hickok 45 , found something pretty cool, conversion Springfield xdm 45acp 4"-5.25" to 460 Rowland. Also loved the video on the Ruger 338 win mag mark 77 guide gun.

[@mort6913]

A much better Gong Show reboot than the ABC offering

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Home Home on the range Where the gongs and the Hickoks play

[@ShaneSharpVlogs]

Looking forward to the "Gong Range". Nice to see that Patreon is helping out!

[@jerrysmith8436]

Nice range. I truly can understand why you end your videos, Life is Good.

[@tomfrye9037]

Man...love the new range. Thanks for the tour and hope you have fun shooting there.

[@SurvivalRussia]

I remember this range from the SKS video. That's a darn long time ago :)

[@Wylding756]

You know, I’ll say it...I’m gonna miss your old range!

[@hickok45]

Guess you WILL if you're planning to quit watching our videos, most of which are on the main range we've used for 12 years. :-)

[@mharkieb.7306]

Hikock45 for President!

[@jesseboutdoors]

Shooting plates is so much fun!

[@Samurai_Aldo]

Not being able to hear brass as he walks makes me sad. Gonna miss the old range.

[@Commiefornia]

I remember the very first video I saw of your's and it was music to my ears....and this video is still music to my ears! :-)

[@markmurphy1285]

he looks excited, like a kid with a new toy. lucky bugger

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Hard work made him a lucky bugger.

[@acpacp7480]

Gong, gong and gong. Both ranges are great, but I like seeing that old appliance get shredded with different calibers holes.

[@dbullcutter]

Hickok is writing history! Well, I think it's a better range than the old one. Now it should be more difficult, to hit the far targets among the trees. 👍

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

Oh Yeah! Gotta see a slugfest on this new range, boom, bang and gong!!!

[@vinnier6]

Good to see you old friend

[@caseywilson7768]

You have a beautiful piece of property sir. Love your channel

[@larryjanson4011]

good to see you are back online.

[@hickok45]

Was never OFF line. :-)

[@davidkissner6354]

God bless you Hickok

[@savvypq4333]

Way different completely. Hey change ain't so bad after all. Good to see the gong back out as well.

[@hickok45]

"Gong back out"?

[@savvypq4333]

hickok45. I thought that was the old gong from the range.

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

Were it that we had more understanding neighbors. Gladly there is a range close by.

[@adriangarcia1758]

Thank God for such beautiful land

[@shamrockrancher7673]

I can't wait for the bounce house range!

[@RuyGuy]

Video starts at 0:00

[@rzrselliott]

I'd be lost without you

[@jtec99]

0:01 liar

[@amysteriouspotato4383]

I was way off

[@meleofahengaue5698]

A wonderful morning! Thanks hickok45

[@l84cabo]

I'm doing something wrong. This man has TWO RANGES! I don't even have one! Oh the humanity!!

[@ericwilliamson5500]

You're the Godfather of Guns!

[@aspiranttobeapatrioticcana6748]

Nice Shooting range, Hickok45, greetings from the Philippines, also its legal to own guns in the Philippines, but it's a bit stricter than in the US

[@benrose7534]

Dinner at Ben's ! thank you Hickok and John for bringing life to life keep shooting !

[@BilgePump]

How about a bench or a couple Adirondack chairs and a campfire for shootin the breeze vids? Oh! and the original gong! It really ties the range together. Am I right? Am I right?

[@kushroomz6260]

Daamn the new range looks badass
