| - I know a lot of people that go way out in the desert to shoot. With BASF so close, so cheap, so safe, & so nice, why would you go out to a remote location?
A mere $7.00 a day (children free) gets you access to the single largest publicly funded and publicly accessable shooting range in the WORLD! Most other ranges of this size and this diverse are military only.
Take advantage of this national treasure and go! The people are super nice and the firing line is well regulated. Supplies are cheep and there are some great classes.

Updated Review
============================
I went there last Saturday. It was the first cool Saturday after a long hot summer and deer season approaches. As you might imagine - it was PACKED and we had to wait about 45 minutes to get a table to shoot from. there were other unused areas (small bore, silhouette, etc) that could have handled the overflow with ease, but for reasons unknown they kept them closed.
I still maintain that the old men working here are very thorough in their job. They are safety conscious and don't mind helping novice shooters - and they do it all with a very friendly, warm, and congenial demeanor. The lady in the booth where you pay is extremely nice too. However the young lady at that runs the range from the officers box is an absolute beeee-yotch!
She was gruff, kurt, short, hot headed, rude and makes me reconsider the whole Ben Avery Experience. If there is anything I hate it's when you are trying to walk the tight rope and be on your best behavior and some one jumps your @$$ for minor minor infractions and treats you like a life long hardened criminal. Seriously I think she needs to find a way of dealing with the stress of her job and not venting it out on every one at the range.
The last time I went, the rifles didn't have to be in a case, if yours wasn't they had a loaner for you to use and it was no problem. I arrived this time sans case and they lady that took my $7.00 said the same thing she said last time "No problem. Take your gun to the Range Officer and she'll give you one." When I showed up the Female R.O. jumped me six ways to Sunday about the case. If they are having internal communication issues, that's their problem and I should never be the wiser.
I still like the range and it is still one of my favorite things in all of the valley, but the next time I go, I hope she treats me better. I'll turn the other cheek once - next time it involves paperwork and a letter to her superior.
