This one is about 60 miles from my house, but I am eager to try it out. Everybody who has been there seems to really like it. The price is right, and the owner's attitude is right on. Others can tell you more. Beiruty, among others, had a really good experience there. Top Gun requires you to ding a 8" steel plate at 200 yards before allowing out to 300 yards, and you have to do it again at 300 yards to move out to 400 yards, etc. etc.



, I can shoot up to 300 yards at my house.

I just knew somebody was going to make a wise crack about me shooting 300 yards at my house. Yeah..and I still haven't hit it yet.

No, it should be up to the man who owns the range and pays the insurance.

I assumed and said safety first, not knowing how these ranges are set up. I haven't been on a shooting range since the Marine Corps about 25 years ago. I wondered if it was a local rule or some obscure range law. Good common sense I guess, on a public range.

Why are you required to hit a target at "x" distance before going to "2x" distance? I know safety first, and you should be able to hit what you're aiming at but what if I want to shoot a box of ammo at the 500 yarder right off the bat? Shouldn't it be up to me? Just curious, I can shoot up to 300 yards at my house.
