    Never heard of Falcon Gun Club.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    On Highway 67 North 1.5 miles past the Douglas Teller county line (into Douglas County) there is a Forest Service road that leads (West) to an area used by shooters. I'll post the GPS coordinates when I remember to take my GPS out of the bag... duh...

    Mick-Boy, I was wondering about this too. Actually, I'm not familiar with either Falcon SC.

    How long is long? I hear that Isaak Walton (just South of HWY 94 at the base of Garbage Hill) has up to 200 yrds, but I like to get in a little 300yrd sighting prior to elk hunting season. Frontiers web site doesn't list any details about their ranges (or perhaps I just don't know where to look).

    I will answer for Mick-Boy. He is out of touch for a bit.

    Frontier totally screwed up their new range. They had a golden opportunity to make it a world class range with tons of pistol ranges and rifle ranges out to 1,000 yards plus. But instead they did nothing more than recreate their north range. Three friggin huge pistol ranges and rifle berms out to 300. I will stay a member there, but shoot there (the south range, I will never shoot at the North range) very rarely.

    PWSA does not start a waiting list until Jan or Feb.
    I live along Powers and Whistling Pines seems like it would be really convenient and it's clean but I just can't get over the price. The initiation fee is pretty steep but I could get over that if the other prices were reasonable. But $25/month on top of that and their member "discounts" on firearms are terrible. Such a shame too since they appear to be the only indoor range and have very clean facilities. Is the waiting list very long at Fronteir Sportsman? I'm new to the area and still trying to find a place to shoot.

    I couldnt tell you about the wait list at Frontier. Contact Earl Hickman at Hickman Rifles.

    As far as the "discounts" at WPGC, keep in mind how much it costs to keep the place open, clean and staffed. The mark-up on firearms is not much at all. 10-15% is the average, then a couple % of that goes to the credit card that most everyone pays with. They/we don’t deal in the volume that Wal-Mart does so our prices might seem a touch high.

    Members also get about a 25% discount on classes.

    If they made monthly dues much cheaper and sold stuff at cost, they would not be in business very long.

    ...or they would be a very busy place that you could not get quickly into because of the lines at the doors and the registers.

    It's a fine line isn't it?
