New Range In Greenfield??

[drillsgt]

Wilbur Wright is in new castle, there's no cost. It's free.

Been there a few times, WW is worthless you can only shoot handgun at the 25 yd distance, they don't allow target stands. Not much use when I want to take my .380 or my CM9 and practice with, rifle range isn't much better.

I agree the .380 is pretty useless at 25 yards but I don't see why you couldn't hit the target with a cm9. Ive also been there a number of times where we shot at the handgun range at 15 yards. Your experience may vary.

What kind of ammo prices do they have?

It's not a matter of hitting the target but of realistic practice. Occasionally i'll shoot at longer range to maintain proficiency but don't usually bother at 25 yds. The CM9 and 25 yds is stretching things a bit. The rifle range is as useless as well. If I could use the 25 yd range to zero my AR's with my zero targets that would be great. The 50 yard range or whatever that is won't work for that and for my 7.62's it's not challenging, it is better than nothing though i'll give you that. My expectations are probably just a little high after getting used to some of the public ranges we had down in GA.

I was just making a suggestion to another member, not telling you that you must go there. Im confused why that made you upset. If you don't like Wilbur wright that's fine.

I appreciate the suggestion and tell others to go there, it's just a sore spot with me because of their idiotic range rules.

Went in today to pick up a gun I had some minor work done on (great job by the way) and they said that non-members can now use their own factory ammo at the range! I'll be there tomorrow.

If this is true then maybe I will run into you tomorrow.

I should be there in the AM.

I am glad to hear this change in policy. If this is true, I will definitely go back. Thanks for posting.

Haven't had a chance to get to the new store yet, but love to support my lgs. Any idea if they'll be open on Friday (day after turkey day)? I guess I could call but I'd rather waste all this time typing this out.

They said they would be open on Friday.

Ammo prices are good IMO, no worse than anywhere else. I picked up a box of Fed .45 ACP FMJ yesterday for around 19 and some change so maybe a dollar more than Walmart.

might have to slide in there Friday and test out the range

A dollar is a small price to pay to not have to go to WalMart.

 

[Yes]

I haven't seen the new facility yet, but I went to the old shop to buy a few cleaning supplies, and they could not have been more courteous and professional. I spent $15 or $20 and they treated me like someone spending 10x as much.

Unfortunately, I'm a rifle guy, so the range won't be of much use to me. The only gun I own that would be acceptable at an indoor range is my sub2000, which is totally useless until I can replace it's front sight.

But anyway...having never been to their new range, I can recommend the place on quality of service alone.

The guys there are decent. The gun choice is also decent and the range is quite nice (brand new nice). I like that they have filled concrete block dividers between stations.
