And you will find more than a few changes at the Buleltt Hole, new staff, improved pistol line. Check it out, then redecide if you are done with the place.

As far as being peppered with brass...for me not a big deal. it's the price you pay to enjoy this 2nd amenment freedom.

Flying Brass - It may not be a big deal you, but being hit by other people's brass is not a price I pay at any of the ranges that I frequent. In my mind, partitions between shooters are a safety device. They can reduce the possibility of injury to people on the firing line or standing behind the firing line. Flying brass can also be a distraction to new shooters and has the potential to startle someone enough to accidentally pull the trigger. During the time I went to Bullet Hole I noted several ladies and a few men doing the hot brass dance while waving their gun around. I consider episodes like that a safety issue that could be reduced or prevented with partitions. Yes, people should dress for the range, but most folks new to shooting don't think about those types of things initially.

Trying them again - Based on your note, if they address the flying brass issue I would give them a whirl.

YMMV!

I'm with XtremeDuty.45 on Bullet Hole. I used them for about 3 years and was never impressed primarily because of safety issues on the firing line and having brass thrown all over me from other shooters on the line. I guess more than anything else, they never had a range master on the range when I had problems and did not check out issues when I brought them to the cashiers attention. The final straw for me was an episode that took place behind the scenes on their forum where one of their employees was really harassing me about a comment I made on the forum. After trying to resolve the issue a couple of times, I told them to remove my user ID and that I was cutting up my Bullet Hole ID card that afternoon. I've been on lots of forums/web sites and never been that angry about how a forum admin/employee treated me. Maybe I'm judging them on one major mistake, a few safety issues, and inconveniences, but I just can't bring myself to go back. I must admit that they were in the process of making lots of changes about the time I quit going and I wish them the best because they do offer some advantages in terms of cost and convenience.
