| - A group of us went shooting here this morning. It's only open on weekend mornings to afternoons, we've been planning to go for many months due to schedule conflicts; and I speak for all of us when I say it was worth the wait. After driving down a short dirt road off the 85 you'll see the sign for the shooting range, turn left. Once we arrived we parked in the dirt lot and unloaded our firearms. We walked to the check-in counter, all firearms had to be either cased or holstered; not a problem carrying eight rifles and over a dozen boxes of ammo may have been difficult without cases.
A very pleasant woman had us watch a video for the first time visitors to the shooting complex. Afterwards she gave us a quick rundown of the facility, how things worked and what they had to offer. After paying a reasonable admission, $26 for three adults and one active military, we were off to exercise our trigger fingers. To access the shooting platform you must have eye protection and ear plugs, safety first! Once assigned stations depending on whether it's during a cease fire or not you may begin setting up your targets in the field, the attendants will let you know what to do and when to do it; and if they don't, just ask they're nice guys. If people are shooting obviously don't pass the red line.
And as a good rule of thumb if you're not doing much of anything just stay behind the yellow line, otherwise you'll just be getting in the way. Overall the facility is clean, friendly, modern, informative, and most importantly it's safe. And even though we're an accident prone group of guys we left with the same number of appendages we came with. We'll definitely be back!
