I was a member for several years and then gave it 7 or 8 years ago. It was back when they first started the with the RSO volunteers and it was not good. I broke no rules and had no unsafe habits. But being told you can not do this you can not do that over and over and I stating HAVE I DONE THAT and get back a NO over many days by the same few people cutting into what little time I had to shoot became more of a hassle then I wanted to deal with. Sounds like some things have changed. And for the better. I think I was a member for 6 or so years. Not one single complaint and I was at the range 3 or 4 times a week for the first 5 years. Then my work changed, had less time and the RSO thing was implemented ( and I understand the reasons ) but I feel that the volunteers were not vetted well, or just got on a power trip. First time they seen me on the range they had full rights to state the rules. I will give them a pass on second time. By the third time and getting the run down again was showing me the RSO's had issues. And getting the same lecture buy 2 different ones on the same day in less then 45 mins and both had given me the talk several times before, I chose not to renew. I see the leadership has changed some and who knows what kind of instructions the ROS at the time were given. It might not be on them but the BOD. I at the time voiced my concern with the BOD and emails went unanswered. So I chose to leave. I did not have time to attend the meetings in person at Luby's on Mopac at the times they were held. I fully understand that I chose to leave when I could have made more of a effort to address it.

It is a nice range, and it was cheaper then what Cooks now Reds was but it became an issue with me. All the above is old news. And looks as if it has changed since then. I hope it has. For the record, I spent many a fun day shooting. Attended a couple of C and R shooting gatherings there. Liked the set up and it had great upkeep. And most of the volunteers were great. I did more weed eating there then I want to think about :) Might be worth looking back into if it has changed. And they back then did have a 1000 yard set up back then. Was only Wednesday mornings and was at a single bench on the left half way from front gate to firing line. Range was dedicated at that time to those wishing to shoot 1000 yards. Not sure if that is still in place.
