I took my son (11) to Hague's today for his first time shooting.
He did quite well.
Hague's seems to have changed their pro-military, pro-cop feel and it's greatly appreciated.
While in the range, the staff was continuously walking from end to end of the range (12 lanes, 25 yard). They explained WHY you can shoot slug in a choked shotgun and how it won't damage anything. My son was treated nicely and encouraged.
The costs were slight high for lane use, which seems that I may need to find a range and join so I can stockpile on targets and ammo.
$5.75 for a box of 50 .22LR
$7.50 for 5 .410 slug
$7.50 for 5 20-gauge slug
we did buy him some glasses and paper targets.
Overall, for the two of us, it was $87
the range was clean, smoke free and well managed. it was about 2/3's in use.
They had a boatload of Colt ar-15's for sale for $999
