I went there yesterday. Very good experience. Friendly and fun Staff, hopefully it stays that way. Spent 3+ hours. I really enjoy the day.

The 100 yards were almost full the whole day but no waiting line. I decided to "qualify" for the 200 yards and I were the only one in there :-)

Didn't shot Pistol , but both ranges were almost empty.

How do you qualify for 200 or 300 yard range?

Very easy.. look back a page at the white target I posted, that is the qualify target. Must put 3 out of 5 in a 6 inch circle at 100.

I was at the range this morning and only stayed for about an hour. It was so humid I felt like I was shooting in a sauna. Plus the skeeters were chomping at the bit. I hate summertime!! :|

I believe they do sell targets there. I brought my own, so I didn't look closely, but I'm pretty sure they do.

The electronic targets are not installed, yet.

Yes... you walk. Unless you can fly.... please post video! :lol:

Yes they sell targets, ammo, and other accessories there in the pro shop. I was told the electronic scoring system is not in the country yet last (it is coming from Finland) so no ETA on when that will be operational. I was also told that they are coinsidering opening the 300 with just paper targets for now as well. I would think the more people that ask, the better as it happening.

And yes you have to walk...dont you run marathons and stuff? SHould be a short skip for ya!! :D :lol:

I just tried to call and it goes straight to voice mail, which is not set up. How did you make the appointment? I'd like to go next week.

Yep.. when I called 2 weeks ago, I had to call every 5 minutes for over 30 minutes before I got anyone to answer. This is an issue with them, IMO.... otherwise, they run a good show.
