| - Update: Went in today and for $20 dollars shot my own targets, with my own 250 rounds. Range master was helpful with a question I had with hand placement. The conversation though began with an accusation of a stray bullet, but diluted by the fact all my shots where grouped and on target. Assumption was shots to background would move debris lead sometimes. They had issues and did not realize just how much lead collected in six months, they where finding lead kicked out to within five feet of the shooting bays.
Regardless, I am a moderately experienced shooter and took the accusation poorly. It put me in a bad mood. Thus, I left with out seeing a salesman like I usually do.
Over all I feel like they need to not be so over baring. Misses are to be expected in order to push more realistic shooting. Quick aim and follow up shots, low lighting, off hand shooting etc.
Also, the room was quite warm, as i was dripping wet down my back and in my hair. Good for stress training, but I was wearing good clothes and expected AC in their new range.

Just used the new shooting range. I brought my son and together we knocked about 250 holes in our target today. A nice atmosphere every where we were in the shop.
Greeted by a courteous young man for newbie range registration. I than took a glance at some Glocks where a very patient older gentleman showed me various differences between the version 3 and 4, until I glanced around realizing I was holding up traffic. I thanked him an left him to go shoot.
Here I did need to purchase a second set of ears for only $20 and a few targets @ 1.50 per. The counter people where very communicative and had me on my way on lane three in minutes.
Which leaves me with the very nice range master inside, thank you so much sir. I will be back if not to purchase a weapon, but at a minimum to enjoy the AC controlled range and to enjoy his company once more, even with ear protection.
