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?
You may not be of my flesh and blood, but you are of my heart and soul.

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!!
Do they sell the targets there? Are there any electronic targets? how do you go down to the 200-300 yard to post...walk?
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!

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!!
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.

Depending on the time of day you may need to call numerous times to get through.
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.
