Massive improvements since I was last a member, what a great range. All the folks I met there and the Range Safety officer where super helpful and friendly. If you can follow rules and respect others you'll really like this range. Lots to offer, worth a membership.

What a great community resource. Really well maintained and never had a bad experience with any of the members. Welcoming, safe and fun to be around. Super affordable as well.
