Let’s talk about indoor ranges.

I have been through the Atlanta area more times than I wish. Every time I’m there I cannot wrap my head around how anyone can live a decent life in that place. I truly feel bad for those stuck up there. Maybe there’s more to it and I’m too simple to comprehend what it is but I would make a deal with the devil twice to leave that place.

Which is why we just bought 17 acres out in the middle of nowhere. I'll walk out my back door and pop off a few rounds whenever the hell I like...

That’s acceptable behavior in Atlanta too

yep same here. I live in a good neighborhood with huge lots, as long as you are safe no one really cares here as well. Even local sheriffs office dont even bother you. Never liked indoor ranges, never will. Forgot last time i went to an indoor range.

For me, I'm looking at the closest I feel safe in. I'm there to shoot, not rent, buy, browse, or get something worked on. Your needs may vary but that's what I look at. I've seen the climate change at my favorite ranges to the point I almost stop going. I don't stay if it's super crowded or infested with rats.

I'm also the guy that will clear the range by taking off the suppressor and mag-dumping until everyone leaves.

GA gun club. 100 yard range, and their RSO's are ****ing nazis.

How so?

 

[Construct More Pylons]

GGC is my go to for zeroing rifles quick when I don’t want to drive to river bend. Never had an issue. Only issue is their ROs talk to me and convince me to get cool stuff.

 

[palmettomoon]

How so?

Warn't let me shoot no tin cans I been savin' up, got mad when I hit the target holder, twicet, didn't like me shootin' tracer rounds in thar, you know. Usual stuff. Wouldn't even let me blow up my laptop with Tannerite. No fun t'all.

I miss going to an indoor range easily after work or for a quick visit to just run a mag or two for testing. I'm looking at a different range than I've been using.

Was looking for a pa 3x micro prism & city arsenal in Greenville was the only place that had one. The reviews on customer Svc. weren’t great & they just had a range incident where someone just needed to rent one bullet like several here so did not make the 2 hr. drive. Another reason I just stay home & stare at my stuff & never shoot.
