It's an awesome facility, up to 200 yards rifle/pistol and a world-class trap/skeet range.
IF the money ever comes back they're going to build the rifle range out to 500 and add a 500 yard silhouette range.

I've been about 6 times now- it's only 20 minutes from my door to the front desk.
Safety is about what you'd expect at a public range but there's plenty of supervision to keep the tards on the correct side of the firing line and muzzles pointed up or down range.
I've learned a few cool things since going there too:
1. Snipers use Super Sniper scopes
2. Snipers use $6.00 Tasco rings to hold a Leupold Mark-something target scope AND they mount all that to a plastic rail on a SL-8 (that dude finally wised up when he couldn't zero it in and asked what he was doing wrong).
3. An 18" .50 BMG with a muzzle brake won't hurt my hearing when it's fired right next to me because the shooter only brought 10 rounds (mercy I wasn't set up yet so I just moved over a couple of benches).
