I got kicked off the range today
- Thread starter Leadhoof
- Start date
Hey, looks like a great place if I want to drive for 3+ hours each way...which I do not.
40 minutes from me there's a range that has 500 yd, 100 yd and 50 yd, plus a pistol range and shotgun stages.
Problem is in order to do the 500 yd, you gotta be a member ($250 /yr) and willing to go on a Wednesday morning at 0900 or afternoon at 1400. Otherwise it's only 100yd.
I had a membership there last year, and went 6-7 times. Most times it was only 1 or 2 other guys there, and a pretty decent place, but my ability to take off every Wednesday has decreased drastically.
So I'm trying to find another range in my area...and not to hijack the thread...SO I CAN GET THROWN OUT OF IT TOO.

I believe you're mistaking them for American Heritage.
Why would Russ creep you out? That dude not only knows his shit, but would give you the shirt off his back.

The “Wednesday only” would’ve been a deal breaker for me. I can only get out to the range on the weekends.Hey, looks like a great place if I want to drive for 3+ hours each way...which I do not.

I went for a few hours yesterday. There were actually 5 other people there. It was the busiest I’ve ever seen it that early in the morning. One of the guys there was a new member from Lawrenceville. He said he loves the place compared to shooting at Bullseye.
I love not going to the range compared to shooting at the suicide dungeon...errr...I mean Bullseye.

I’ve never been to Bullseye myself but that guy had me ROLLING yesterday talking about walking in with his guns intending to shoot, but then turning around and walking right back out when he saw some of what was going on there.
The range is down in almost a basement, there's never a RSO down there and I don't think that they even have any cameras down there to where they can watch from the shop(if they do, they definitely don't watch them). I've never been muzzle swept(with loaded guns) as much as I have in all the other places I've been combined than I have at that range the few times I've gone in there. Plus there have been several times that people have gone in there and rented guns and then gone down to the range and blown their heads off. That's why us locals call it "the suicide dungeon."

Yeah, that guy was telling me it’s quite an adventure there. LOL
That was what prompted him to do some searching online and how he found our range. He said it’s worth the drive to be able to shoot outdoors and to not have to worry about being shot in the back the whole time.
I grew up in Loganville, went to high school at South Gwinnett. Bullseye was where I bought my first pistol.
Yeah, it's not a great place, especially when compared to the much nicer shops/ranges here in Cobb.
I remember "RangeMaster" (or maybe it was "Master Gunman" - something Masterbatory in any case) in Stone Mountain (Mtn Park) was pretty rough too.
Y'all ever been there?
Been too long since I really wandered those roads - and they went and changed a bunch of them around, so I got lost the last time I was there, and suddenly found the Fairgrounds...realized I was in Lawrenceville!
