Ive been shooting here as a guest for over 22 years. The club is very strict, has cameras everywhere, and is primarily an outdoor rifle pistol range with an automated target indoor pistol facility. Shotgun shooting is a relatively new addition but not much care or concern was given to its creation. A skeet range was built, but with so many rules, over regulation, and housing concerns near by, the planners had to bend the firing lines when they created the field. In doing so, some skeet stations were required to be skipped during a game because shot went over safety banks and ended up hitting shooters checking targets down range on the far end of the rifle firing line. Thus, the brand new skeet range had to be abandoned. Instead, they converted it into a trap range and as long as shot goes the same direction as bullets, they were able to keep shotgun sports at the facility. Unless you know someone who belongs to this range, don’t plan to drop in and shoot. Everyone’s on pins and needles because of all the local government troubles they’ve been subjected to, and aren’t willing to lose their club to a strangers unknown behavior
