June 9, 201016 yr has been your experience of what time that means during the summer months? When do they actually expect you to be out of there in say june / july / august? Basically im trying to decide if I could make it there after work and still get in some shooting before I have to leave but I dont really know how to judge when it gets too dark to shoot. thanks -
June 9, 201016 yr As of right now.... its around 7-7:30pm..... some of the RO's know our group, and will hang for a bit longer at times....
June 9, 201016 yr They want everyone out about a half hour before sunset. This time of year, that's around 7:30 or so. It's getting close to the solstice, so I don't think it'll get much past around 7:45 when they start coming around to ask you to pack up and leave. They're pretty nice about it, and I've never had any of the guys stand around tapping their watch while I packed up.
June 9, 201016 yr Young Gene has been locking up lately and he stays until the REAL time. There have been occasions in the past(awhile ago) that you knew the RO was hungry and wanted to go home for dinner. Oh BTW we closed the range early last year atleast twice for the twilight bear population at the pistol range!!
