For just over two decades I had unlimited access to the Kingdom. At my old Job we had a multi acre range facility with multiple range bays, SH, reactive targets, car bay and 600m range, etc. And it was 24/7 access. In a remote area and officially outdoors.
Now that I am retired and under 5 feet of snow at the mountain casa, I started looking into commercial indoor range facilities. I have used many .gov and .mil indoors, but yesterday was my first visit to a walk-in, pay the man, commercial facility.
Too say i felt like a fish outta water would be an understatement! The safety rule list was about 25 bullet points. I was schlepping gear, ammo cans, targets, etc. on multiple trips to get in the range. where i was used to just pulling up to the bay in the g-ride, open the vault and get to work. Also, being assigned to one-lane only and not doing multiple targets was new to me. I felt a bit cramped.
Anyhow.....On to my point. Im looking to get my gun on at a minimum once a week at an indoor facility. What guidance or pointer about indoors can you guys feed me. Should i just work on BRM and BHM? Is there a lane or location in a facility that you use and prefer either for safety or preference. Should i get one of those old lady shop carts to lug in my gear in one trip? How much time is too much time at an indoor? Anyone have favorite drills they use at indoors, carbine and pistol?
What i have learned so far is that most of the indoors here are 25Y max, no M855 and can handle up to .50 cal.
Look forward to some insight.
Cheers
