Range near Rutland/Holden ???

[mvrak]

Ok, here's the deal.
I heard from a guy, that heard from a guy,
That there is a private range in the rutland/holden area
Just pay the property owner like $80/yr and you can show up whenever you want during the daylight hours and have some fun.

Anyone have an idea?

I'm looking for a no frills range to regularly practice at. I've joined clubs in the past, but I work too much so I'm a bit busy to socialize :-/
I'd love to find people to go hunting with, but I'm a total newbie there
Even if you don't know that guy, if you know of some other place in the general area, please let me know, I'm not having any luck. Just all these ranges with camraderie and sponsorship and.. well... people that are wayyyy older than me...

Spencer Fish and Game, $50/yr. It's a small range but good for practicing. No bs as in sponsorship or mandatory meetings. If you'd like to check it out let me know via pm. I live in Holden and go down there frequently.

Looks right, but is about 20 miles for me... I'm hoping for something closer so I practice more. Thanks though

Sounds like 8 point in sterling. There is also a few more in the area. Holden fox and coon, norco in princeton, But most clubs you can show up whenever you want to shoot. some even have indoor 24 hour ranges.

Thanks, but all of those clubs have a arbitrary restrictions. I'd like to go to a place for responsible adults.

From Eight Points website:

Posted Rules:
1. Members only. Wear your Member's Badge-Cards. (Members may bring guests)
Really?


3. Absolutely no fully automatic firearms allowed.
So rather than have to ask for proper paperwork even if they are concerned, they just ban everything.


4. Rapid-fire prohibited. (Maximum firing rate of 5 shots in 10 seconds)
Rather than figure out whether something is arbitrary, they make another arbitrary rule.


6. Do not shoot at targets on the ground, on top of backstops, or in the air.
No possibility of setting up my own targets, even if I can clean up afterward.
