What do you wish your local shooting range had?

I could see the Vegan Snackbar in NJ before the outdoor range :rofl:

@Dawn, yep, I’m good with it - their gun, their rules. They want to protect both the shooter and the equipment. I think our local range it pretty typical on the safety and equipment rules, nothing outrageous.

Wish they would allow holster drawing & shooting. Currently civilians cannot practice this. There is only one indoor range close (25 miles) Also, the stall one rents has a counter top that is way too tall. Last but not least…I wish they would allow video recording, would be great for grip/shot training imo, one could take the video home and watch it & see what they are doing (whatever they’re interested in improving or change)

We are members of a pretty decent gun club. Indoor range with separate lanes for members. My wish list would be for more advanced training classes (they currently just offer basics for safety and CCP); a simulator would be great (our local Gander had one before they closed) and ability to practice with holster draw. There’s a new range opening in the next few months (72k sq ft) but their membership costs are really high…

Will you have to be a member to use their facility, @Snowflake1911?

No Dawn, looks like it’s open to the public. Checked out their class calendar - seems to be standard new shooter classes. I’ve heard they have a simulator but website doesn’t mention it. They should be open in the next few months so I’ll have to check them out…

That would be cool, @Snowflake1911. I haven’t used a simulator yet, but it might be a good training tool! Glad they’re not member only. :slight_smile:

My own.

I have both fifty acres with targets along trails and the two track road that runs through it and when I bought the land from the city they didn’t realize that they were selling me about a third of the municipal gun range. :grinning:

Due to that error, We have a standing agreement that as long as I have unquestioned, complete access to the municipal range and they carry the insurance, they get to use it free of charge and I don’t put a fence through it separating them from about a 100k in improvements the local club put in.

:grinning:

Throughout my military carreer and beyond I was the true incarnation of Forest Gump. I walked blindly into opportunities few people will ever have just out of being in the right place/right time, and pure luck.
