Do you still have to register on post to use the range?
Had a membership to SCRAP once. Was a trash heap every time I went. Too far to drive to shoot at the dump
SCRAP is cheaper but is much more inconvenient for travel - about an extra hour of round trip travel per day from the Lawton area. I would also argue that the pistol ranges on post - stands and the "gong" range - are better than SCRAP. To me less time traveling (not the sci-fi kind) and overall ease of acccess MAY make this a better deal, especially if FMWR really does try to model it on Ft Bragg's Rod and Gun club.
Isnt Lab Weaponry supposed to open a range here in Lawton?
They say they are working on it but when I asked them for details they were rather vague. It's a small business so expansion is a major challenge.
They have appealed to the public for the donation(s) of time, materials, equipment, and money. I wish them luck, but that is not a very promising business plan.
SCRAP is member only range, the member are the one that trashed it. Honestly, it still happens. But the current club officers are doing a good job keeping the range clean. Every months is range maintenance / clean up day.
SCRAP has is issues, but i think it's the best range in this area. Plus its a CMP Affiliated Organization.

Yeah, as I said, I had a membership. That was 3 years ago. Showed up 4 times for range clean up and no one else showed except one or two club officers.
yeah you're right about its members trashing the range. I always take my trash with me. I remember one day, trash barrel was overflowing with trash paper targets and people were still trying to stuff more into it.
Plus I got tired of having to lug my own target stands out there because the boards were shot to ****. Or had layers of older targets holding the wood together. Was like someone wallpapering over old wallpaper 30 times
A few of the pistol bays only had 2 steel pickets and wire strung across to "Hang" targets.
It might be better now, but I'm not wasting my money to get back to SCRAP and find out
