Describe your perfect range
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2005 11:00 am
The thread about the new Tactical Edge Shooting Range got me to thinking about what would make the perfect range. Now I am talking about a public range and not your private backyard range. That would be the perfect range.
It seems that for some folks that PSC is fairly close. None of the ranges that I use come close. They are functional and nothing more.
For me, it wouldn't take much.
1. All shooting areas covered.
2. Nice stury shooting benches that are useable for both lefties and righties. they would be designed to allow for shooting off hand and standing and still remain behind the firing line.
3. Pistols ranging from 3 yds. to 50 yds. The city range in Texas City has a very nice set up for pistol shooting, but it is only 25 yds. Concrete walkways out to target positions. Each shooting position has pvc target holders buried in the ground. 2x2s with backer and target are placed in the pvc holes at the desired distance.
4. Rifles Ranging from 25 yds out to 200 - 300 yrds. Target holder positions could be setup similar to the pistol range. A seperate rifle range serving those that wish to shoot at distance from 500 - 1000 yrds.
5. All shooting positions would have some sort of devider that would allow shoorers to be able to see and hear what is happening around the range but protect them from flying brass.
6. Rifle racks behind and on the firing line.
7. Full auto OK
8. A small club house of sorts any maybe outside covered picnic tables to allow shooters a place to congrgate and relax away from the firing line.
CLEAN restrooms. Drink and snack machines that work.
9. Gun cleaning station.
10. A place for the shooting pins, steel, and other reactive and biodegradable targets.
That's all for now. Looks like I am more picky that I thought.
