I had let my membership lapse at my local range because I was practicing at a range on private land owned by a trumpster white supremacist. I knew things could take a bad turn but I stuck it out with these people until the end of 2019 when I felt my life to be in some danger because of my Jewish heritage. I had known most of these people for 7 years and some of them were actually half-normal but quite a few were were your garden variety or worse white supremacists caught up in the trump death cult. So I burned my bridges with them and moved on.
So in January 2020 I renewed my membership at Seven Mile Hill Shooting range in Golden Valley, AZ just outside Kingman, AZ. It's on land owned by the Game and Fish Department and managed by the Mohave Sportsman Club. It's a world class range. I didn't go out much in the hot weather but I was just out a couple of days ago to dial in my Turkish Mauser. I'm planning on getting out a lot more as the weather cools down.

2I'm in a similar situation in that I haven't been to the range for months. I didn't let my membership lapse so they stay open. That burnt up money will drive me there pretty soon. Have to shoot a bullseye match. sheesh

Re: Getting Out To The Range In 2020
3my DNR range has been closed since mid march. i don't really get it, they could have easily implemented social distancing by closing every other bench, but...
i've been shooting once since then thanks to another chapter member, and we might do that again soon. good, i have 2 rifles i want to sight in.

4Glad you're out of there, Harriss. And glad you're back out shooting.
I can't bring myself to try the private ranges. Everyone I've met at the public one has been pretty friendly.

5Trying to find a range to use. South Eastern PA. I saw on the clubs new list that in Boyertown there’s a left leaning range by the name of Naugle Hill range. Haven’t been able to find any contact info or anything on it though. Most of my older co-workers are members of private clubs but none seem to be taking new applications and almost all are Trumpers. *sigh*. I just want to shoot!
Re: Getting Out To The Range In 2020
6try state-run DNR ranges. outdoors, nearly always apolitical. yes, you'll see the occasional MAGAt.
the RSO at my usual range, an ex-marine (yeah, i know, there's no such thing) quietly mentioned to me that he's always voted D, all his life. maybe he just wanted some LGC sticckers?

Also in SE PA and would like to find a left leaning range. Or, just get a bunch of us to descend on a club and take it over.

for me it has been pretty much the opposite - too many Rambo type wannabes at public ranges....
Re: Getting Out To The Range In 2020
9Kingman, AZ is a small to mid sized town about 100 miles southeast of Las Vegas. About 30,000 in town and another 30,000 in outlying deserts. Lot's of rambo types here but there's lot's of desert for them to play in. And they don't like the public range because at the public range they have to behave nicely. So when I go to the range I go on weekday mornings and the only rambo types I have to watch out for are local law enforcement who use the range for qualifying. And the range is so big they get their own range and I usually, but not always, get my own range.Merle wrote: Fri Sep 04, 2020 12:25 pm

Re: Getting Out To The Range In 2020
12Nothing available in my parts. Only decent range is way overpriced, requires NRA membership, and well the whole alt white tRump thing. I haven’t been able to shoot in a couple of years.

13I am lucky here in San Jose CA. We have one private and one public range ($3/hr) open. The private range don't seem to be too right wing, what with all the high tech liberal execs that live nearby in the hills. The public range got shut down for a little bit during the fires, but is open now.
