[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2621548, member: 5412"] Kind of wondering why these negative threads weren't posted when I did my review? How many of you shoot for a day at an indoor range? An hour is not enough? Can you shoot prone at other ranges? How much time do most of you spend in a lane? I don't know. I shoot outdoors 99.9% of the time. Honest questions. I don't consider myself as a Nichols Hills resident, but I pay anywhere from $10-$35 bucks a weekend day to shoot, and if I shoot both days , it could double that. If you can't pay the fee to shoot at Wilshire, don't diss the price, just don't go there. If your into paper cups on the creek bank, good for you. That's where most of us spend our time. As far as the RO saying about the all of the gun regs on the range, I never saw, nor had that happen. I shot .44 mag on the 35 yd range, and .223 on the 100 yd range. The only thing they told me was basic range rules that said to open your cases with the muzzle down range, and store the bags/ cases on the shelf in the back. I personally thing there should be more than one shelf in the back. Two or three above each other. Shooters tend to bring a lot of gear to a range, and the area seemed to be a little small. I used to shoot the Sunday evening matches at Heartland. The shelves and floor were stacked with gear. More shelving would be nice. I also agree that the 100 yd range should have bigger benches. I had a 16" M4 with the stock in the close position, and wish there were more room. I could only put the forearm on the shelf, not the buttstock, so if I wanted to double sand bag, it was not possible. I shot my POS cheapest M4 that anybody could ever put together. For a reason, I have $450 bucks in it complete, other than scope. On the 100 yd range, it shot 2" groups with a 1X scope. No magnification. :D Shooting my .44 mag on the 35 yd range. I cleared the lanes. Everybody came over to see WTH was making so much noise and causing flashes on the range. :D:D:D 300 grain Elmer Keith hard cast bullets at max load will get your attention. :D I let everybody in the bay at the time put a cylinder through it. Nothing but smiles. :D IMHO, Its a beautiful facility that is going to fill a segment of society that is a little more fluid in cash flow. Nothing wrong with that. I wish them the best of luck.
