BritinUSA Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Here is an aerial view of my new home, the small circle is my house, the big one is the local shooting range. I had no idea it was there when I bought the house. It is less than 1000 yards from my front door.... What do I hate ? It has a 10 year wait-list....

Pro2AInPA Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I've never understood why some gun clubs are so exclusive and unwilling to let new members join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ouch. Well, they probably don't let you move while shooting or draw from the holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ouch. Well, they probably don't let you move while shooting or draw from the holster That's probably true, but it would be a great place to sight-in, chrono some rounds etc. The local police department have an agreement with the owners that they can use it for their practice sessions too.

Steve J Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 If I was on the BoD of an existing range that was being surrounded by residential developments, I would court the home owners, offer them freebies, get them involved, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdwilliams Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ha! Sounds like the range near my place. ...and no, I'm not a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mda Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I've never understood why some gun clubs are so exclusive and unwilling to let new members join. Because there is only a limited amount of range space and time. If you have more members then the range can support then you will have members, that are paying for services/access, not able to use that service/access.
