| - First, the good:
+RSSC is a lot more travel-friendly for us east-siders than BASF up in the far north.
+The RSOs are very strict (as they should be) but not confrontational. If you're stupid enough to argue with an RSO, then I don't know what to tell you except to find an uncontrolled shooting spot. And if you feel an RSO is being unprofessional, tell the rangemaster.
+The range fee is entirely reasonable. The cost of a single annual membership is equal to a monthly visit for a year, so if you go more than once per month, it's a good deal.
+The sandbag rests are most helpful for those of us who don't want to invest in a Lead Sled or similar, nor deal with the hassle of hauling the thing to the range and back.
+Decent selection of targets at very cheap (and on the honor system) prices.
Now, the not so good:
-The parking lot's proximity to the main range means you'd better damn well put your ears on before you get out of your car, and make sure the windows are rolled up before you leave the paved road.
-Ditto the check-in office, which makes conversing with the guy in the office a huge PITA.
-The shooting stands are pretty closely spaced. If you happen to end up next to someone shooting a heavy caliber (or even an AR) with a muzzle brake (which brings up a point, who the hell needs a recoil reduction device on a freakin' AR in the first place?), you *will* feel it.
All told, RSSC is a damn good range and highly recommended.
