Judge not this race .....
It seems every indoor range I have been to, acts this way. Why do indoor range operators feel like they have to be big dicks to everyone? I am sorry idiots frequent these places. But they know that going in......
I avoid all indoor ranges. Its the only way to be sure........

That's why I have a pistol and rifle range set up in the yard. Amen for land and nobody around!

Yep. I saved it after the last time you posted it, when I had asked you.

I have several zeroes that could be persuaded to join the party...
I'd invest too.
The big question is where are we going to find two qualified A-holes to work at the counter, 12hrs per day, and treat customers like total idiots.
Also I'm not in favor if changing the "no cell phone" policy. We don't want any morons mistakenly answering their Glock.

It's a lot harder to deal with people with guns at a range. You have no idea of their level of expertise .
God help you if you get some guy who thinks he's an operator. Next time you're at an indoor range count the holes in the ceiling.

One of the first things I notice is the baffle strikes at an indoor range. Might be one of the many reasons I stay out of them. Way too many unskilled shooters.
That's one of the things I miss about Nebraska. While my Dad was still the police chief in my hometown, he had a range set up right on the outskirts of town where they installed a bit dirt berm as a backstop, and he had a big piece of the old carpet that he'd gotten when they installed new carpet in the office where my mom worked - this made policing up brass a lot easier. We had steel disks, a big gong, and a place where we could post up paper targets.
Later, after he retired, he set up a range on a piece of land owned by a relative that probably wasn't even a full mile past the town's city limits. It was basically a repeat of the other range, but he and a friend added some other steel targets and they built a benchrest and placed it a measured 100 yards from the target posts.
We could get to both ranges inside of 10 minutes after walking out the front door.

Lots of people used to shoot at a quarry behind the old Dorsey Speedway. There was an old quarry off of camp Meade road, on the way to Freetown that was used quite a bit. This was back in the 80's

When I was a new-bee first time shooter, Select fire was the first place I shot. Yes I did so after reading all the negative reviews but the place was so close and I was excited about trying out my new hobby. I opened the door anticipating harsh treatment from whoever was behind the counter and I saw this guy peering up at me through the top of his glasses and I thought...Ok, GAME ON!
Can i help you? 
I'd like to rent a lane.
Ever shot here before? Nope First time.
Got a weapon? Any loaded Mags? Yup aaannnd Nope.
Let me see what you have and read the sign on the counter. OK.
I need your I.D. ... Do you need any targets? Here ya go. And I'll have a #6.
He then gave me my targets and a plastic card with a lane number on it. I put on my eye and ear protection and went in to shoot. I got off 300 rounds that day and after I was done went back to the counter to check out (once again anticipating harsh treatment).
All done? Yup.
Do you have the lane card? 
I left it in the lane.
I'll need that to ring you up. BRB.
I brought the card back, he rang me up and I left. But I left feeling that I didn't get the right service. Where was all the A-whole-ness I was reading about? Feeling left out I returned once a month for the last year waiting for a confrontation...It has never happened
I dunno maybe I caught them on good days, maybe I realize that I am a bigger a-hole then most and I don't let negative types get to me. What ever it is I am up for challenges. Next time I go there I will walk in and just start off the conversation with "What's Up Jag-Off". After all, I am not going there to make friends, I am going there to practice.

It could very well be that they have changed how they do business a bit. I have to admit that in my case, my bad experiences were years ago - like, more than 5 years ago. Should I give them another chance after all this time? Maybe, but for me it's tough to shake it when I've gotten bad service more than once at any kind of establishment.
Another example would be the Bateman's right off of Aquahart road in Glen Burnie. The last three times I went there I received bad service and/or food, and I go out to eat infrequently enough that when I do go out, I want it to be good and enjoyable, and I'll stop going places where that's not happening.

I've been to Continental and Freestate a couple times and didn't seem to have any problems.
Maybe they've learned to chill out recently. Then again I try to go at irregular times.

Down Dorsey road from Rt1, go under a little bridge and then down a dirt road that ran alongside railroad tracks. Dorsey rd no longer connects, i don"t know that area now.

There are houses back in there now and the industrial park was expanded. I used to go back there with my buddy 4 wheeling, and he used to shoot back there. He lives on the other side of the tracks, right there.
Goes back into the 70's. Dad took me back there as a kid. Right there along the train tracks. I grew up shooting there.
