Steel core ammo is hard on the range (that's what they told me).
The shop Green Mountain Guns has been on a rude streak for a few years now. They lost my business awhile back when I was at the shop near closing time with cash in hand to purchase a handgun, but they turned me away because they didn't want to wait for the CBI check.
The Green Mountain shooting center...I've heard nothing but bad things about that place, but haven't been there since they were under their previous ownership.
My biggest issue was that their rifle range was never running. I called once to make sure it was open it was closed by the time I drove there. That and I couldn't load mags at home. Just wastes of time.
Kudos to them for allowing shooting from the draw though.
I'll stop buying black rifles when my wife stops buying black shoes.
I've always had great luck with Green Mountain Guns (not this thread).
Green Mountain Family Shooting Center (and even when they were K2 Firearms (different management?)) has always rubbed me the wrong way. Nothing too specific, but they just always had a bit of a "negative vibe".
I thought it was just me...
They started out great, but got worse over time. We went once and they wouldn't let my 20 year-old brother onto the pistol range without parents being there. I asked what the deal was since he could have bought a gun at 18 but they wouldn't budge.

Yes, I realize that, but GMG came up in the discussion so I chimed in.

X2 on both accounts.
The first time I went there a couple or few years ago they were just extremely condescending and dickish when talking to me. I said thanks for your time and left. I decided to give them another try this morning . . . . Closed until further notice.
I wish I would've searched Green Mountain before cruising up there. My bad. I did however find a killer european style bakery on Jewell just east of Kipling. Gooooood shtuff.
Do what you've always done and get what you've always gotten.
When I was in Green Mountain Guns (the store, not the range) last week, I asked a very nice salesman about the range and he said that he heard that it is closed because it is up for sale.
The guys in Green Mountain Guns store are always great. I like that place.
Anyone here win the lottery recently and want to snatch up the shooting range?

I've never had a problem at GMG, was in there a few days ago and they were very nice and friendly. There's a rifle there that I have a serious hardon for at the moment, might have to try for a trade.
Now the range is another story. They've always been friendly, but very rule-oriented. No surplus ammo, and no lead bullets. I've heard a lot of bad stories about them though, mostly on this board. I don't like indoor ranges anyway, and don't like to shoot around other people. Don't like having to keep my earmuffs on constantly. So we shoot at Ben Lomond where we ALWAYS have privacy.
