| - I'm going to be real: before going to Clark County Shooting Complex, I'd never been to an outside range before. I know that doesn't exactly qualify me for knowing about outdoor ranges, but I promise there's good reason for the 3 stars.
I've been 3 times now. First time, the pistol and rifle range was closed for a private event, so we went to the shotgun range. We went into the office, paid for everything, went outside. There was no real indication of what to do once we got to the numbered area that we were assigned. So we stood there and kind of snooped around, only to have someone who was not at all identified as staff yell at us for touching something on the supervisor chair (at which there was nobody at). Then we were told after paying for everything that the shotgun we had wasn't recommended at the shotgun range.
The second 2 times, we were able to go to the pistol range, which was a much more pleasant experience. The most recent time, the gentleman at the check in area after paying was a bit condescending. I get that they're trying to maintain safety and make sure everyone has paid, but I guess I just expect a certain level of professionalism rather than loudly humiliating customers. It was just an unpleasant experience having to deal with him.
I recommend bringing your own guns and ammo. Ammo isn't really cheap and both times I've been to the pistol and rifle range, their rentals were on a waitlist.
All that being said, the drive once you enter the complex is quite pretty and has beautiful views. They take safety extremely seriously. They have a pretty good variety of targets available for cheap. They have classes on safety sometimes.
It's the closest place to me to go shoot, so I'll be back. But try to do as much reading up on their rules and stuff before you get there so as to avoid any public humiliation.
