What a great time! If you've never been to a shooting range I suggest you give CCSC a try. Don't be afraid. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Be honest upfront and state your true skill or lack there of and your experience will be even more enjoyable.
Upon entering the complex and I used that word because there are various areas based on which type of shooting you would like to try. Some may find it annoying trying to find the right location as if you're on a scavenge hunt but hang in there and you will be okay.
We showed up on a Friday as we took off from work to have a date day. We were asked at the lower level area which type of shooting we wanted to try and we said pistols and rifles because they were having a skeet/clay pigeon competition going on and I didn't want to look like a goober in front of all the pros who obviously had driven in from across the entire west coast. There is also an area for people with RVs to camp out for more than one days visit (lots of retirees, etc).
We were directed to the top of the mountain where the pistol and rifle areas were. We were able to rent guns and buy bullets, ear and eye protection. You have to watch an 8 minute safety video but you'll get a card stating that you know the rules of the range for future visits.
We spent a little over a hundred bucks to buy and rent the gear we needed for three people as our son tagged along.
I was a bit annoyed when we received our guns and went out to the range because I had no idea how to use it and was expected to figure it out during the actual shooting time as there are time constraints on when and where to access your firearm for good reason. ie. people like me who don't know what the bleep they're doing. I was the most anxious trying to get my firearm loaded in anticipation of shooting. Fortunately my hubs is retired military so he was able to help me. Mind you, you have in ear plugs and there are live rounds going off so its noisy. By the third time I loaded my clip, I was totally comfortable. Even if you don't have anyone with you familiar with the use of guns, the RSOs (safety officers) are very helpful and always near.
In closing, I wish I would of asked for instruction to familiarize myself with the gun. Besides that, it was so much fun we plan to go out at least once a month. We plan to bring our daughter next time and let her shoot the Desert Eagle BB gun. You can also bring BB guns but they have to be treated like any other weapon.
