Thanks HKsig!! Your friendly welcome is very much appreciated. I was starting to wonder if I unknowingly stepped into a minefield there for a minute

I usually go out to the range on weekdays, and usually right when they open, just to try and go when it's not too busy. Maybe somebody that loves you over Christmas will make it possible for you to get out to the range sooner.

No, I am in no way affiliated with A Place To Shoot. I do however go there almost every week to shoot on the pistol range and have taken my LEO son there a couple of times to shoot on the rifle range as well. I've been to three other of the areas most popular outdoor ranges to shoot as well as the Nardis Gun Club indoor range, and felt I could add that perspective to people looking for a good range. It is my favorite outdoor range.

As far as a first post...well, I've been reading the forums since August, but really didn't feel that I had much to add until I got to this discussion. I've been very active on other forums, so it just seemed natural to jump right in. Sorry...no conspiracy here

I actually like the pulley system; nice to have at an outdoor range--you can vary your distance at any increment out to 17 yards during your shooting as well as swap targets and nobody has to call a cease fire as in other outdoor ranges where you walk out to the target. Or, worse yet at other outdoor ranges I've been to, if other shooters want to shoot at 7 yards and you want to shoot at the 15 or 25 yard line--you can't.

So yeah, I like the pulley system--it's one of the reasons I go there so often; and I've been to nearly all of the outdoor ranges in San Antonio. I also like the swamp cooler in the summer and...oh yeah...the floor-to-ceiling carpeted partitions between shooters so that you're not hit with your neighbors ejected brass (just your own sometimes;-). Really like the folks that work there too.

Also, they just replaced all of the old spotting scopes on the rifle range with some good ones you can actually use when zeroing in your scopes.
