I've been told that the new owners have filled in that area with concrete and the grate is no longer there.

I was there last week and the grate is still there. The new owners are cleaning the place up though. It's looking much nicer than when I first started goingthere.

I have been there once as part of a match and didn't have any serious complaints as their setup was seemed to be really good for competitions. My main beef at the time was a lack of restrooms near the area where we were shooting (the competition lasted several hours). But, I haven't tried them for basic target shooting yet. What pluses and minuses did you encounter?

Bullet Hole is one range I'll not go back to until they change the firing line layout to minimize flying brass and enforce safety on the firing line. I used them off and on for a couple of years and saw too many issues that were not addressed when brought to the attention of their employees.

Bracken has been one of my favorite ranges up till recently. They installed some plywood that dropped the roofline down so far that I can't see the 15 or 25 yard targets now (I'm 6'1" tall). I have not aked, but they seem to be having problems with the surrounding community or something because they are now asking me not to do certain things that I used to be able to such as shooting a 50 yard rifle target while standing.

I really want to try out Bexar Community and Cedar Ridge sometime.

Just my 2 cents.
