[QUOTE="ratski, post: 3855940, member: 936"] Well, time to report. I stopped in at Big Boys the other day to scout the location. Have to admit, I was impressed with the waiting room, but it stopped there. Went to the desk and talked to the guy behind the counter. I asked about what calibers were allowed and he said "everything up to 50BMG". After a few minutes, I asked if I could see the lanes. He walked me over to the security viewing screen and basically said "see". Pretty sure that there was only one or two folks in the range at the time, they were not crowded or busy. Didn't explain why I couldn't get into the actual firing lanes. I kinda wanted to see how it was set up, what the targeting was like, etc. So then I asked if they allowed full auto. He said that he knew that they didn't allow rapid fire and wanted 1 second between trigger pulls. (I've never understood that particular prohibition) When asked again about full auto, he said "I don't think so" I asked him to get someone who would know. He calls someone over (I assume a manager) and I asked it they allowed full auto. His response was a relatively curt: "No" And that was about all he said. I know that for a lot of folks, these may be non issues and I could see shooting there, but I just didn't get a lot of "warm fuzzies". [/QUOTE]
