[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 4322616, member: 51836"] Let me be clear about this thread and why I am saying this. They're not bad folks and two years ago when I first purchased my home on this side of the state they were close and convenient to get to . To be very fair if you are into trap or skeet then they are probably the premier shot gun range in the state end of story, however their membership which is not cheap ended up not being worth it . That annual fee doesn't buy you anything other than a reduced lane fee or a reduced fee to the traps and a $10 FFL transfer fee. Its not a gun club and they don't operate like a gun club. To make matters worse, they made some changes which weren't really improvements to be honest. On the rifle range which is small to begin with, taking up all the target stands at 200 yards and the range only being 200yards to start with was a bad mistake. Replacing those stands with a massive plate rack wasn't a value add. Sure you can hear bullet hit the plate but I found the target stands much more useful as I shoot groups at 200 yards as did many others who I shot with. On the safety front ,they will take anyone's money to rent a lane and honestly I am not in favor of range Nazi's but there's a total lack of safety there, in my two years as a paying member, I witnessed on more than one occasion folks would just get up and bobble down range to check targets without making the range safe. No never mind the spray and pray crowd who shows up to blast a magazine and not even put up a target before they do so then leave. This isn't about EBR's either as I own some too. This is about poor safety practices and no RSO to be had anywhere . Concerning handguns , a 15 yard pistol range isn't really worth the money either. I am sorry its just the way it is . Don't get me wrong Snake Creek is handy especially if you live on the south side of Tulsa or Glenpool or nearby Beggs but that's its only value add. The state owned range near Okmulgee lake has better facilities a nice trap course for your shotgun yes you need your own trap but that's OK, if you're into trap and skeet and you don't own your own trap then you probably shouldn't be into trap and skeet. The pistol range goes all the way to 50 yards and the rifle range is a full 200 yards, the only down side is it can be busy at times but the cost is a hunting license and that goes to supporting wild life conservation in the state. So there you have it , your mileage can and will vary and if you like Snake Creek that is great . I gave them two years of my membership dues though and didn't get enough back in return to justify the cost, shame too as they were super convenient to get to and the owners are really nice folks.
