Wetmore Shooting Sports is going to be opening up a range on the south side (near the 251/181 junction) in the near future.
I think their latest improvements have fixed this problem. Their rifle range now is a ground-level concrete slab with moveable tables/benches/etc. and nothing blocking you from shooting prone, freehand, seated on ground, or on a bench. It's much more flexible.

Re: Labor Day at the Range...San Antonio

Bracken range has installed plywood sheets that extend downward off the roof covering their pistol range (7 and 15 yard lines). They're so low that I, when standing, can't see the bottom of the targets on the 15 yard line at all. I have to sit or crouch down. It's ridiculous.

I don't know why they did this- sun protection? Ricochet protection? Anyway, when I complained the owner suggested I shoot sitting. :???: Really?

Anyway - I wasted an hour with that place Monday and didn't get a single round downrange. At least they gave me my money back.

I'll not return.

The Bullet Hole has always been good for me. I've seen no more unsafe behavior there than at any range I've ever shot at. And I've never seen anyone point a loaded revolver at their face to see what the ends of the bullets looked like in the cylinder (at Bracken) .... yep. I don't think a through and through would have hit me, but I would definitely have had brain on me.
