They can stick their range !!

This is from FB.
Since some people can't go there, I didn't want to link it, instead you get the full monty of cut-n-paste.

Oh yeah... hourly rates = blow it out your ass!

Update on WGS, from welcher's facebook page
*UPDATE*
Lakewood Shooting Range no longer requires only brass cased ammo.
Steel and aluminum case ammunition is ok to shoot on the range.
What that means to our customers...
**We no longer need to inspect your pistol ammo.
**You can load your magazines at home and bring them in loaded!
We were able to come to an agreement with our recycling companies to make this happen.
Thanks for all your patience regarding these issues and we hope to see you at the range!

I pay TRRC about 150.00 a year to shoot all I want. Think I will pass.

you also shoot outdoors, have limitations, single shots and shit like that.

Here you have state of the art indoor range with automatic targets that can do tons of crap including set specific distances, turn around for quick acquisition drills and such.

Not convinced. Welchers

Evergreen: No mag limit, tannerite allowed, fresh air, covered bays, and I can carry. $75 per year plus $5 per day. Or $10 per day.

Maybe for you but the other 80% of WaGuns lives Waaaaaayyyyyy north.

Just got back from shooting at Welchers. The experience was as follows
1. You have to watch a 9 minute safety video
2. You have to fill out, initial, sign and date 3 different forms
3. You have to buy their targets. I brought my own, but no dice. That was bullshit.
4. No concealed carry allowed,,which was more bullshit. No shooting from holster. Likewise, bullshit.
4. Paid $16 plus $10 for my son and I to share a lane. That was the hourly rate.

By this time, I was pretty much fed up with the whole thing. However when we finally got the the lanes, the range masters were good guys. They showed us how,to,use the touchscreen controls to set range, do,drills where the target rotates,to face you, and then turns edge-on, limiting your time to engage to a preset number of seconds.

We shot pistols put to 50 ft. Max range is 75 feet. We did double taps, shooting 2 shots in a second. No one shot every three seconds crap. The range master said that since we bought one of their targets, when it got shot up,we,could staple one of ours over the top. That was good, as,we,went through 300 rounds. Finally, since there was nobody waiting the range master said we could shoot as long as we wanted for,our,one hour price. We shot until we were out of ammo.

All is all, an Excellent range. Good lighting and ventilation. All new hardware. Good sound attenuation. Great,rangemasters when we were there. On the other side, Too much paperwork and video crap up front, but they said that was a once a year thing. It isn't cheap and you have to buy at least one target from them at $1.50 or $2.50. You have to unload your conceal carry, and cannot shoot from a holster. In fact holsters were not allowed on the range. Would I go again? Maybe, but only on a weekday when there was nobody waiting. And I would bring more than 300 rounds.

Steel and aluminum ammo allowed ... awesome. That's very unusual for an indoor range.

Hourly rates, fuck that. Buy their targets, ugh.

Thanks to Duke EB for the updated rules....I think we all anticipated some changes...

Thanks, too, to Arisaka, nice review

I went shooting on Thursday. I will be back, nice place.

Oh ya you can shot rifle up to 7.62.. if you buy there ammo.

I do understand them not allowing drawing from a holster, just for liability reasons. You and I might be just fine with that, but sooner or later some joker probably would shoot themselves in the groin and sue the range if they survived it.

The "no concealed carry" thing though is hogwash, and sounds like either a range nazi thing or management buys into the socialist nanny-state mindset of "protecting you from yourself" foolishness. As far as I'm concerned, concealed is concealed. They don't even need to know it's there.

I bought a receiver off the net. So I think what the heck I will give Welchers a shot at doing the transfer. Called them. $45.00 . No thanks. I know some people here dont like Quantico but they will do a transfer for $15.00 and I have generally had very good luck with them.

Good review Ray!!
