After 10+ years, i just gave up my membership. I still shoot IDPA there, but I haven't been there for 2 years outside of IDPA as the facilities are frankly lacking at best. They have been saying they would update the facilities for years with no action. This, along with a sub-par air handling system, terrible heat and no AC finally made me quit. It's a shame because the club has great potential, and plenty of interest from local shooters. It's too bad it is stuck in the 1970's. If you are local (as I am) it is convenient, but I found myself not going because i really didn't enjoy shooting there any more. Also, if you check their calendar, there are leagues/clubs 3 nights a week which restrict open shoots to only 2 weeknights. I found myself wanting to go to the range on a Friday after work and not being able to go because of a league.

I joined RTSP, and although not perfect and farther from home, I don't freeze in the winter and like going there to shoot with no restrictions of when i can go and the ability to shoot magnums or even rifles if i choose.

Just food for thought if you are thinking of joining.

 

Have you been to any of the meetings lately?  Construction is finally starting to move along again.  I believe later this summer will be the time when a lot of it will be done.  Former President Paul Mondok has taken over as construction head and things are now progressing again.

I have not. I used to go 3-4 times a year, but nothing would change. I stopped going about 2 years ago when I joined RTSP. I went one winter night to shoot a new revolver, and after freezing through 2 cylinders (I could see my breath it was so cold), I left in disgust and joined RTSP the next day. I never felt the need to go back after that, but maintained my membership until this year hoping for a change.

I really hope they get the place fixed up. I like the people, made new friends and always had a soft spot for the place. It just was not worth keeping the membership if i was not going to use the facility.

Well, if you want to see what it's like after the upgrades, let me know!
