Is Calverton packed in October-November?

[WTFwork12]

Is Calverton packed in October-November as it is during the summer months? I love the place but sometimes I just don't feel like waking up extra early and getting there before open to get a bench.

Worse....hunting season around the corner. Sometimes I have better luck going after 12pm

crap, I didn't even think of that. I wonder if the shotgun side is as packed during those months, I honestly just want to shoot off some buckshot since there are no indoor/outdoor ranges by me that allow buck/bird.

I don’t shoot there but I’m guessing people will start showing up in October to sight in their hunting rifles.

It was not busy at all on a weekday afternoon in August.

Go on a weekend afternoon in September and it should be fine.

Whenever I go to Calverton, anybody I go with wants to be there first thing in the morning, before they open. Have to wait on the inevitable line, usually get a bench. By the time we leave in 2-3 hours, the place is half empty.

Around 1-2 PM is good you think?

Usually - yes. Let everyone else run to get out there. By early afternoon, everything starts to open up.

In October and November they are open 7 days a week. Last year weekends were busy but during the week there were plenty of open benches.

Weekday best bet.

All the city types and once a year shooters spinning up for their big hunting trip in Oct and Nov.
Not only crowded but crowded with inexperienced, or worse, ignorant and unwilling to recognize their own capabilities and limitations shooters.
