  • This is not your typical Sunday morning gun range. It is a chance to go full-auto on a litany of machinery that is scarcely available anywhere. Our driver was more than personable and apologetic that he was late as the group in front of us didn't have their act together. Corralling a bunch of guys on a bachelor party is hard enough so I get it. They explain to you that you are not here to improve your accuracy, learn how to be a better shooter or even learn how the guns work. They make sure the recoil doesn't get you and that you can handle the gun, then switch you to full-auto and let you just blast away. That said, there were a few safety concerns that I had where an instructor was demonstrating with a pistol the proper way to hold it (and what not to do) and although he cleared the slide and it had no magazine, he pointed it downrage while another officer was hanging up targets. There were also times when dozens of guns and ammo were left out on the table while the instructors walked/ran away to their storage unit in the range pit to get more guns and ammo. The 15 of us stood around and looked at each other while there was no personnel immediately around to ensure nobody did anything stupid. There were also a lot of jams on our guns - it seemed half of the subs and machine guns had issues. The Barrett .50 is a hell of a machine and was a beast to fire - but the first shooter in our group experienced an FTE (failure to eject casing) after his first shot and as he wasn't familiar with guns, had no idea what was going on Neither instructor saw the FTE. I had to yell out to them before they jumped in and cleared the jam. Lastly, the targets are simply pieces of paper hung up on a string tether and they bob up and down in the wind. The tether broke several times throughout the shooting session, resulting in a 5-minute stoppage to replace and re-hang the targets which are pointless anyways since we are going full auto. I think it would be a ton more fun to use bargain-brand soda or water bottles as targets to give the shooters something to hit that gives feedback. The hubcaps and bowling pins on the machine gun range were chopped to pieces and laying in the sand downrange so again, target feedback would have made this a lot cooler. I realize the Barrett .50 vaporizes a yoga-ball sized circle around the impact point but still.... As a person who owns guns and shoots regularly, I had a good time with my buddies and can see how a novice shooter would find this a blast. I would happily tag along again for another group outing but wouldn't book on my own.
