How Big a Job is Range Maintenance?

[@Jaxon1776]

I enjoy this new channel. It's a little like having my morning coffee with an old friend. Even if the conversation is one sided.

[@RT-qd8yl]

I talk back to him at the screen. Never answers me though.

[@darienconversi5500]

We love hearing your tangents and thoughts. If you felt like doing an even longer, more rambling video, we'd all watch the whole thing and be happier for it.

[@Wild_Bill57]

His Sunday morning post is probably exactly what you’re looking for.

[@johnappleseed9290]

I could listen to Hickok all day!!

[@RT-qd8yl]

It's the ideal thing to listen to as I drive to or from work; he's naturally calming.

[@clyde4296]

Yes sir that is preventive maintenance thus keeping the rust at Bay !!!

[@jamesbell8496]

Good morning, Hickok45. I really enjoy this new channel. Thanks for taking the time.

[@aliceburte9278]

Thank You Hickok 👍🇺🇸

[@LoganNesmith]

Need more porch swing talks!

[@Wyoming_Gramps]

This new channel is great. More like a one on one conversation with a genuinely nice person. Way more than just shooting. Keep em coming.

[@andrewalsobrook6729]

Plenty saying this already but i think this channel is the exact place to get off topic

[@centex52]

I love all these channels

[@ryanbrown3309]

[@joshuagaines9297]

Had trouble finding your channel and I'm a subscriber

[@exiledintheus7251]

I used to use a sling to get the steep parts of the lawn lol retaining walls can be decorative as well as stopping erosion

[@neilsheldon8355]

Good to hear that you're healthy!

[@stevemartinez6757]

My wife and I live on 35 acres of woods that we bought for our "retirement home". I do have a small range that I try to keep up along with several trails and a couple of pastures. Yes it is a lot of "work", but to me it's therapy. I spend many days on my tractor with the bush hog or at times cutting up fallen trees and burning a lot of them. I wish we could have moved onto this place 20 or 30 years ago.

[@RT-qd8yl]

I would give anything to have that opportunity today. At this point I'm just hoping I can eventually buy a home before I die 🙃

[@RottenSkull]

very privileged. hope you appreciate it

[@lostronin380]

It's nice to hear what you have to say outside of the usual video format. Subbed, along with the main channel of course.

[@tracythompson1692]

Love the way you say you trim branches as if thats just how everyone does it!!

[@toddwilliamking]

Hickock45 Couple of questions, how often do you shoot a week, and can we get a gun safe tour of all your guns

[@johngreen4067]

Well sir you did stay on topic very well and gave us some useful insight from your experienced perspective. I, and many others, have enjoyed our shooting hobby but live in an urban or suburban area. My family is now considering the purchase of some acreage that is “only” an hour or so from our homes. I may not be able to shoot from my porch but will finally be able to enjoy my own “range” whenever I want. Thanks again for your overview of the range maintenance topic. Take care - be well! Jack

[@miketice9949]

Good morning, Hickok45 and others. I do enjoy this new channel and all the others. It really is like chatting with an old friend. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@fixed970]

At times over the years I’ve heard you walking on what sounds like half a foot deep brass. Would be interesting to hear what the deal is with that. Does it get cleaned up ever or is it like gravel? Take some video of it. We never get to see what you are standing on as you shoot. I always thought it would be interesting to see these type of things if I ever got a chance to visit.

[@bigmac6723]

In Sweden it is mandatory to keep the gun permit to clean the range 2 times a year. In our shooting club. This is not a joke...

[@T-Mak-s7x]

The Brass? How do you pick up casing’s? 1 by 1? Giant vacuum? Or let them turn into a brass/metal /plastic walkway? Pain, cause we pick them up 1 by 1.

[@jayztoob]

My pistol range is pretty much carpeted in moss and brass, but the rifle range is through the forest, so just walking it once in a while keeps the brush down.

[@terryschiller2625]

I like your new channel Mr Hickok 45. It's a little strange seeing you without some kind of gun in your hand. But I do enjoy the Sunday shoot-around. Have watched everyone. Thank you Sir for all your hard work and time. You are very much appreciated!

[@terryholloway9930]

Thanks enjoyed the channel always enjoy your thoughts

[@jamesvaillancourt8142]

Not sure if this question has been asked but I just watched your video on range maintenance, what about all the shell casings? Do you pick them up? And what do you do you do with all the brass?

[@T-Mak-s7x]

That’s what I thought, I don’t think he addressed the brass and casing’s. That is all I wanted to hear is how does he pick them up? Huge vacuum? 1 by 1?

[@johngreen4067]

Thank you, sir.

[@exiledintheus7251]

Easier to focus on targets painted plus the contrast let's you see your hit

[@BrianChilders-d4k]

What's your position on bedroom doors .? Open to hear what's going on in the house or closed to give you more time to react ? Locked or not ???

[@NNITRED]

I'm see I'm not the that thought they were just wiping out everything with vegetation killer. Great insight

[@philshock3805]

Thanks Hickok45! What about brass? Get what you can? Leave it? Grandson job? 🤣

[@Hickok45Talks]

I get most of the good stuff that I actually reload.

[@JW_934]

I’m really liking this new channel!

[@iam6345789]

How about the brass?

[@clyde4296]

Don't let him mess around with Clyde the Bigfoot Target !!!

[@Dylan-zf4xh]

"Everything's a target, it just don't know it until it has served their useful life" -me explaining to the Uber Eats delivery person that he has served his purpose

[@RT-qd8yl]

Wait did you consume the Uber eats guy?

[@brandoncullen4189]

They're known to be more nutritious than the food they deliver

[@StefanA357]

What paint do you find works best? I’ve been using the Rust-Oleum gloss enamel which seems to go on fast.

[@exiledintheus7251]

Lucky boys

[@cornbread308]

Be nice if brass was magnetic.

[@antekknoll6568]

Range maintenance = JOHN 🤣🤣🤣

[@antekknoll6568]

Grandson too‼️😉

[@lightningscott5624]

I thought you had some guy named Matt Carriker doing your clean up!😂

[@Hickok45Talks]

ONLY when he's in town. Plus, he's asked for a cost-of-living raise, so we're likely going to have to fire him. :-)

[@lightningscott5624]

[@notsure1686]

The last Cane I would ever sell.

[@MaverickFischer]

He only covered one topic in this video! ;-)

[@genevabrown450]

🍻

[@svbarryduckworth628]

Maybe you'll get lucky someday and one of the neighbors will sell so you could expand your own land. Roughly what percentage of your shooting is done on camera these days on your range?

[@Hickok45Talks]

Probably 80-90% of it is on camera, depending on whether you are talking about number of shots or time involved. I get a lot of opportunities to enjoy shooting favorite firearms and others in videos, so I don't get those same firearms out to shoot OFF camera as often.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

That is interesting. I might suppose almost all of the shooting on the range that does get filmed ends up in the videos due to your minimal editing format. Not too much "film" from the main channel gets left on the virtual cutting room floor probably. That's good because I would hate to have all of those trillions and trillions of electrons get bothered all for nothing. ;)

Somebody get this man texting
