Atterbury Shooting range - Page 5

femurphy77 · 07-07-2009

On my only trip to Atterbury the RO's did seem to be a little testy! Of course the one guy that WOULD NOT step behind the line during the cold period, the other guy who kept POINTING THE BARREL OF HIS PISTOL down the line of shooters while impressing his girlfriend, the other guy that WOULDN'T PUT DOWN HIS RIFLE AT THE END OF THE SESSION. Get the point? They have to deal with a mix of probably 80% responsible gunowners and 20% wannabe gangbangers who miraculously somehow know how to pull a trigger that the rules don't apply to. Personally I think they should take away the loudspeaker and put up a stoplight system, when Green they range is open for shooting, when yellow, the range is about to go cold, when red if you're doing something stupid the RO's can "enlighten"you with a load of rock salt!!!

Atterbury is a great facility and I have had positive interactions with the RO's.

I imagine anyone who deals with the public and firearms on a regular basis has their moments.

I think the cost is retarted. The stupid state should have kept control, so they could not charge. Seeing as you pay for an hour, and actualy only get 40 minutes of shooting time. Cearland is not the nicest, but it's free for me and always have it to myself. It's enough for just shooting paper.

I think they should issue the RO's taser's. You get 3 warnings, just like the cops have to do, then hit the offender(s). This will get the other offenders attention that they have the rule in place for everyones safety and you should probably pay attention.

i agree nice range.dont really like the range officers looking over everyones shoulder every 2 seconds but atleast they the their range very clean compared to most ive visited.

I've been to this range maybe 10 times and have had no problems with the RO's. I was even reminded once to stay away from the reloading bench once as I was counting my empty boxes and forgot to stay back. So was my own fault. I like the range and will continue to visit whenever I need to shoot my AR.

Went to Atterbury today, sighted in a M1, 77/22, 1911, and a PM9. Facility was very nice, ROs were friendly, and prices were reasonable. Sure beat going to Don's or Pop Gun's.

Its good to hear good things about Atterbury Range again, I heard about the period of outrages prices...As soon as my FAL comes in I will be heading down there.

My father, uncle, and myself were there from 4-5. Weather was great and the ROs seem to be relaxing.

The RSO's are not relaxing I think the people who choose not to obey the basic rules we have and think they do not need to be told when they violate a rule have found another place to shoot.That is a good thing. Nice for the rest of the shooters who like to shoot in a safe enviroment.
