Re: Quail Creek Shooting Range Problems?

I was wondering if anyone else has had any negative experiences at Quail Creek off of 35W and 1171. During our first, and possibly only visit there, we had a RO tell us we could collect our brass and during a cease fire. While we were posting new targets my friend's 12 year old was collecting casings at which point a tall, older, skinny, scruffy looking RO came up and started to yell at him. He did not understand what that he was doing anything wrong and according to 4 witnesses he POLITELY informed the RO that he was just picking up the brass for his father. We realize that there was obviously a miscommunication somewhere but when we returned from posting targets this RO came back and started yelling at him and accusing him of back talking and ignoring instructions and then started with the threats and scaring the crap out of my friend's son. I assume this is one of the guys that is causing me to find a lot of comments on the internet referring to Quail Creek RO's as Nazi's or it being like a prison camp. Is this still the normal behavior out there? I'm trying to give the others a fare shake but I think that guy should have been more professional first off, and secondly, spoken to my friend instead of yelling at his kid at length right in front of him. I can only assume they don't provide a contact email address on the website as it would be constantly full of complaints.
Having said that, the shooting facilities are quite nice, their ammo is decently priced, and their rules are normal common sense stuff if you don't mind the occasional unprofessional behavior of at least one despicable human being of an RO.
Read this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13537. Sounds like things haven't really improved much out there. I'll never go back there again.
