Thank you ram hunter. Im gonna check them out. Are you a member there?. Midlands not too far from me.

Burntmuch,

Yes, I have been a member for many years.  It is a great place to shoot and the dues are very reasonable considering the quality of the facilities.

Be aware that because of safety considerations, you have to undergo some training/qualification procedures before you can use the 600 yard range and the restricted pistol range.

Ram hunter. Once I qualify for the 600 yard range, would I be able to use it anytime. Or would I have to wait for certain events or dates. The reason I ask is Im a fireman, I work 24 hr shifts.  So I usually shoot in the mornings after work. I went to their website. Looks like a very well kept range. Thanks for the info.  Jay

Burntmuch,
Once you are trained and certified, you may use the 600 yard range "at will".  The following comes from their website:

General Outdoor Range, Indoor Range and Shotgun Ranges
Members are permitted to use the General Outdoor Range, the Indoor Ranges and may use their
own hand and portable trap equipment on the Shotgun Ranges on an ‘at will’ or informal basis.


Restricted Range, the 600-Yard Range and the Club Shotgun Equipment
Members wishing to use the Restricted Outdoor Range, the 600 Yard Range or the club Shotgun
Equipment on an ‘at will’ basis must receive additional training and receive an endorsement on
their membership card before such use is permitted. The endorsement training times are
scheduled on the calendar and are open to all members.
