[QUOTE="cdragen, post: 3631409, member: 48392"] I've been a member at USSA almost since moving here in 2018and for the most part I've been very happy. For one thing the freedom to run my own courses of fire in the carbine bays has been very helpful to my development as a shooter. I would say that I treat USSA as what I wish I had in my backyard--a robust bermed up area where I can pretty much do what I want within reason. As such it's kind of a 'you get out what you put in' kind of arrangement to me, so I almost always plan an additional hour into my range time for setup and tear down. The only major downsides I would mention are the shortage of usable target stands (I frequently call the range desk and ask if I can borrow some from adjacent bays if they're not in use--I've never had them tell me no, but they do request that I make exchanges between bays if possible, which is rare), and the flooding that occurs in certain bays and on the 300 yard range. I had a long conversation with one of the managers last year regarding the flooding and his plan was solid but ambitious. Not sure where he is with that but I know the 300 yard range has been closed for a while so I'm assuming it's underway. Other than that I can see that there are some areas where things could be kept up a little better, the steel isn't always great on the pistol bays, and there are tables that need repair or replacement, but for the most part it's not stuff that really prevents me from doing what I went there to do. Since I got a Raven target I've mostly been using that, but I like having multiple targets for move and shoot drills. The pricing is very reasonable to me and I've never been hassled about picking up my own brass. I do wish they went a little longer than 300 yards, but for zeroing and hold over testing it's enough for me for now. Until I have my own 20+ acres and I can build my own 50 yard bay(s), USSA is the next best thing. [/QUOTE]
