I am currently a member of Harvard Sportsmen's and it's tough comparing any other range to that. I now live about 10 minutes away from Chester Rod and Gun and I am considering joining there too since the proximity will allow me to shoot much more.
I'm a little worried after reading through the rules though, some things jump out as FUDD central . . .
Range Rules
The need to keep re-qualifying on different ranges every year that ends in 0 or 5
No drawing from a holster
No shooting centerfire rifle caliber SBR's or AR pistols on the outdoor rifle range
No shooting steel in the action pits with centerfire rifles or AR pistols (I understand this could be due to distance constraints in the pits but not sure)
No "class III" full auto, or bump stocks (not that I own anything FA, but stinks for people that do, and bump stocks are a moot point now)
Guests must pay a fee
One line in the rules says PCC's are ok in the steel plates range, then 2 lines down it says PCC's are prohibited ???
Low velocity ammunition is prohibited in the steel plate pistol range (does this mean sub-sonic ammo?)
Is shooting prone allowed at the 100 and 150 yard rifle ranges?
I'm really hoping it's not as bad as it seems, since it's so close . . .
