Living In A Bizarro World
I know there is already a thread on this place, but I wanted to focus on why I think this place is worth the extra money to shoot at.
1. This place is very high end. The shooting lanes are the best I have ever been on, including the NRA range. Everything is top of the line.
2. Classrooms, computers, and TVs all over the place.
3. A very large selection of rental guns. They even had a CZ 75B compact which is what I wanted to test fire.
4. A really nice retail area. They have a really nice selection of firearms.
5. The staff is the friendliest bunch of people that I have ever met at a range/gun store.
6. The range officers and safety guys were either current duty State Troopers or retired State Troopers. They had some interesting info regarding the Maryland gun laws and other things of interest.
7. They sweep up your brass for you and throw away your garbage for you. This part was a little over the top for me, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about sweeping up my brass in between shooting. The range guys did it for me. They clearly ask you at first if you reload. If you do, they will leave your brass for you.
8. My wife came with me and sat in the lobby. She couldn't get over how everyone was so nice. Everyone kept offering to get her free drinks and such. They kept asking her if she needed anything.
9. While this place is more expensive than most other ranges in the area, I feel that the high end nature of the place will keep trash and goofballs away. I feel as though serious firearms people will go to this training facility.
While the Machine Gun Nest sounds great, I can't help but think that it's polarizing name will attract more idiots to the facility. It may also attract the attention of the libtards who will want to close the place and make the owners miserable. I hope I am wrong.
In the end I hope that both places thrive. I hope that everyone on this board will visit these businesses instead of trying to save $5 and go to some $hithouse. We need places like this in Frederick county.
