From their house, students have to drive to the firing range minimum 40 min with no traffic. Then have to drive minimum 20 min to wherever lunch will be then drive back to their house. For the amount they charge, the snacks are just nuts and the 99cents sparkling water cans from walmart Also the firing range fee is not included in the payment, so thats another fee on top of the gas. I wish i purchased from a different place nearer to a city center, where i dont have to plan a whole day drive. Sure theyre good people, but thats just too much money flying off the shelves for the same service you can get elsewhere

Since it…read morewas a gift for my daughter, I purchased some blank gift certificates, and met Mr. Collins to complete our transaction. This was his first time doing a gift certificate, which is why I purchased the blank certificates and gifted them to him. On the day my daughter was scheduled to meet with him, he contacted her to ask her if she was fully vaccinated. Because she was not, he cancelled the class and refunded my money. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. I recommend that Mr. Collins put a disclaimer on his website to at least let people know they must be fully vaccinated in order to train with him.

I brought in my wife and two sons (16 and 18) and then he asked how many of us were over 18. I said 3. He said he could only sell us 3 boxes. Then he said actually it's 21. I'll only sell you two. He gave us some BS story about not being able to sell handgun ammo to anyone under 21. Which even if that were true (which it is not), I'm 40. If the guy didn't want to sell me ammo they should have told me on the phone instead of changing their story twice after I already drove the whole way there. Plus he was a big jerk about it. Just drive the rest of the way to Albuquerque. Hopefully these guys will go out of business soon.

While not posh there are a variety of ranges from youth indoor air rifle, bench rest small bore, tactical rifle, f class/national match and a variety of pistol pits. The shotgun and trap ranges are also well set up. Certain parts of the range are only available for club events such as the trap and tactical ranges. There's also a 100 yard tube with a target trap on one end and a ventilated shed and rest on the other. The tube is the only part available for use 24/7 with the exception of Wednesday morning. Very handy for pre hunt sight in. New members must complete and pass a range safety course as part of the sign up process. The course is designed to make sure all members know what's expected of them to use the range safely. The material in the course was easy to complete and understand. It's not perfect but pretty close to it. You can be fairly anonymous or as involved as you want with all of the groups and clubs. It can get crowded on weekend mornings with various ranges closed to club events but the afternoons usually open up. The club has a very easy to interpret calendar which usually makes use of the range for individual purposes simple. Some of the long time members can be a little salty at times bending rules claiming that they always have special permission. It did not happen that often but when actions were mentioned to the appropriate parties nothing ever came of it because the repeat offenders were influential in the club. Everywhere has its politics, special people, and 1%. I have since found more joy exploring the millions of acres of BLM and state trust land in our state. If you check with the agencies who manage the lands there are actually many places not too far away where one can shoot for free.
