How are people finding ranges that allow them to actually train / practice for competitive shooting? I'm trying my best to not go on a rant as I have pretty strong feelings about this as I'm assuming others do to.

My local range happens to have a section where several SWAT teams train, so it's pretty well set up. Early fall and late spring there's actually a lot of normal guys that train out there, but when the weather warms up is when problems start happening. Long story short, if there's more than 5 people an RSO is supposed to be designated, which usually is some dinosaur that doesn't like my Tupperware guns.

This makes it extremely hard to train / practice for competitive shooting, even though we're on the completely opposite side of the property. A few buddies and I have looked into possibly purchasing 1-2 acres together, but it's damn near impossible since we're all fairly young and it's mainly farm land around me, so you can't just buy an acre. Any suggestions in what other options or how to find other ranges?

Trying to make the place feel less empty, I've been trying to find an area rug online as there's really not anywhere near me that I can find with a quick search that sells what I would consider "guy" rugs. If you have purchased one online where did you get it from? Unfortunately all I can really find are either AI slop or just too plain.

Wanting to make my G19.V more personalized and fit my needs, but don't want to cause reliability issues. I've had problems with trying to find compatible items that are clearly listed as fitting the V model. All I've done is a TLR7X and some grip tape currently. I'm looking at getting a TTI carry magwell, GS enhanced performance trigger, and possibly a TTI expanded mag base plate but I'm unsure on whether to get a +2 or a +4. I don't wanna spend the money on all those fancy parts and none of them work, so any insights on what fits and doesn't would be a great help.

As dumb as it sounds, I've had more issues with my belt closure "printing" than my CCW and definitely draws more attention then I would prefer, as my buddy said, it looks like I'm packing in a different way. I have a traditional style belt and the only way I've found to prevent this issue is to move the closure as far to the left belt loop as possible, which isn't very comfortable. That needs to change, so I'm looking for recommendations for a new more CCW friendly belt as I have no clue what to even look for. Would prefer to be leather and absolutely needs to be compatible with your standard work pants.

I want to be more efficient with the closet ammo stash as I dont really have much space and shotshells mainly being the issue. I have about 500 5rnd boxes of both federal flight control buck and slugs which takes up a lot of space and dont stack very well. Anyone have any suggestions on a storage solution for this? Currently using Reapr XL Ammo Boxes for ammo storage.

Took the bike out on a short trip to the next big town over for some stuff which is about 34 miles away 68 miles round trip, no big deal shouldn't have any issues and left with a full tank. Well about 14 miles outside of town coming back to my surprise, I look down and see that allegedly I barely have any fuel left with about 54 miles on that trip. Dash said I was getting around 60mpg, so with a 2ish gallon tank I should've had around a gallon left in the tank. Get back to town and fill the bike back up expecting almost 2 gallons to go in, but only put around 1.2 gallons in and the tank was full again, which I thought was pretty odd. Anybody have a similar experience or have heard of someone else having this issue?

Mods that I think could have any sort effect on this issue:

550 Performance Stage 1.0 91 Octane ECM

550 Performance High Flow Air Box Lid

CRFS Only Highflow Air Box Mod

DNA High Flow Air Filter

Graves Full Stainless Exhaust

HiVolt Motorsports Emissions Delete Kit

Kinda curious on what everyone was getting for mileage on their rear stock tire. I've got 2k on mine and already down to 4mm with 3mm being the minimum tread depth. For being a street tire made to look aggressive you'd think the tire would last more than 2k, but I guess it helps sell tires. I've heard some people got close to 4k on the rear and I'm not really sure if that's even possible.

I've looked around and can't seem to find anything about this possible bug. I'm stuck on the Va Fail, Elaine quest where you brew the trial of the grasses to use on Uma. I craft the brews and the quest item gets added to my inventory, but the quest stays stuck on "Gather the necessary ingredients and brew the decoctions of the Grasses". I've reloaded saves, I tried talking to lambert, yen, Vesemir and nothing happens
