I thought I'd post about going in to Continental Arms today on my way home from the York Gun show. (Pretty much everything was overpriced, but I picked up a couple of ancillary items.)
I rolled up to the door just a touch after 3:00. Granted, it's a Sunday afternoon, but given what I've experienced the last few times I've been to Cindy's Hot Shots in Glen Burnie, I was a bit surprised.
When my wife and I walked in, there was almost no one in there - I think the whole time we were there, maybe 3 other people came in. I didn't hear too much going on in the range so I can only assume there were lanes open.
Is this typical for Continental Arms, or is this only typical for Continental Arms on a Sunday afternoon?
I've seen threads and posted dedicated to talking about CA and it's often pretty disparaging, describing rude or inattentive staff or a myriad of other complaints. I don't go in there a lot because it's a bit out of the way for me, but in the times I've been there I've never been treated with anything but courtesy and respect. Perhaps we reap what we sow?
Anyway, if the places is always that dead, it might be worth the extra time and drive to shoot up there - Cindy's is much closer, but no more convenient if every time I try to go shoot I'm put on a waiting list until a lane opens up.
