[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3566380, member: 40561"] Unfortunately there's no good choices around here that are readily available. Red Castle is nice if you can get in. I'm not sure about Oil Capital but again good luck getting in. Indoor ranges suck so that leaves what...Happy Hollow and Snake Creek? I've not been to Snake Creek but their rule list is pretty ridiculous and doesnt really promote any type of real training. That alone prevents me from even wanting to go there. Last time I was at Happy Hollow they bitched about "fast" shooting. I am far from fast and all my shots were clean hits...but they'll get on the intercom and tell you to slow down. I have a post up about USSA...I used to love the place but it has tanked. I've not been there since last fall probably but last time I was there it seemed to be improving but still had a LONG way to go. Still covered in weeds, standing water and hardly any plates in the "Steel Challenge" bays. I'm not sure how you shoot steel challenge with no steel but I guess that's all in the training LOL. I got scolded for shooting my MPX which as far as I could tell follows their rules, but apparently "pistols only" means traditional pistols. When I asked about it, the guy told me that the longer barrel on large frame pistols increased velocity enough to hurt the steel (which, again, was virtually non-existent). I asked if it was OK for me to shoot my P226 and he got mad...but the P226 has a longer barrel than the MPX and the P226 is safe for the steel and the MPX isnt. Other big bays had no target stands to use...so how do you put targets up? [/QUOTE]
