I live 1 mile from it and have yet to go...

Quick Question: Are they restricting all 50 calibers or just the BMG? For instance, would the SW500 pistol would be off limits?

Thanks

they've amended their caliber restrictions to those big calipers, such as .338 lm and .50 bmg. Their reasoning is that those calibers will fly past their impact range.

Went opening day, had a blast. will go back. One thing I don't agree with is NO FIREARMS in the building (trailer) where you sin up. Even ccw not allowed. I think it's kinda sad to have a gun free zone at a shooting range. But that's just me.

A quick glance looks like Range 7-8 is about 4-5000 yards in line with it.

theyve amended their restriction to 'nothing with a max range greater than 4100yds' ....

Are they using paper targets or do they have steel on the 1250yd range?

[TheBelly]

they have steel all the way out there, but I'm not sure the ranges.

On the 300 yd range, they have an 18"x18" plate at 480m (yards, I can't remember and I'm too lazy to convert)

I'm going tomorrow, so I'll get a good look while I'm there.

Took my wife a few weeks back. Great place. I'll be returning.

I finally went this past Sunday. Great range, excellent staff, but some of the clientele bug me. People kept breaking the ready line while we were going "cold" including one guy who was standing next to his pistol reloading magazines during the whole "line is cold" period. Same guy laid his pistol down with the muzzle facing right down the firing line while he went to the point next door to talk to his buddy. I didn't freak because he ejected the magazine and I could see the action was open and chamber empty but I'm not real keen on firing next to guys who don't think about how their weapon is facing.

I'm just a stickler for things like muzzle control and not having anyone within arms reach of a weapon while the line is cold. If you need to reload mags, then take them and your ammo behind the line to reload while we're cold.

I went this past Friday. The RSO on range 1 was cool but still firm. I think your RSO wasn't paying attention or was overwhelmed by the crowd.

I'll be going back. Heck of a lot nicer and a bit cheaper than Dragonman's.
