After reading several posts here regarding the Heartland Outdoors range, I decided to swing by on my way from work and try out their range.
All I have to say is WOW. The A/C and ventilation made it worth the extra bucks. I was not soaked with sweat afterwards, and didn't have that "black booger syndrome" that I have been experiencing at H&H. Plus, the staff was extremely nice.
I was also excited to be told that you can "shoot any bullet/any gun". So I was able to unload a few boxes of my steel core brown bear 9x18 Makarov ammo through my CZ-82.
(on a side note, there was one other guy shooting a few stalls down from me. He had a real nice AR setup with an Eotech. I heard him shooting several rounds, but I couldn't figure out what he was shooting at, since I didn't see a target. Well, I finally saw that he did have a target, but it was set at the 5 yard mark. I wanted to tell him that it may be easier and cheaper to just attach a bayonet and stab the thing. But, being a "keep to myself" kinda guy, I just let the joke slide.)
Now, let me be honest...I love H&H, and I will probably still shoot there the majority of time (I'm cheap). And, H&H does have a lot more of the goodies that I am personally interested in. But, it is nice to have a nice cool place to shoot on those 95+ degree days.
