It's a great range; it's just too bad I don't have any ammo to spare at this point.
Doesn't mean you have to stop volunteering, I was doing the cleanup day every month for at least three years. But, after the mandatory volunteering was voted in, it got crowded and wasn't enough work consistently. Sorry I missed the ditch diggin' day! :evil2:

Some of those rule changes came about in the last couple of years. Also, you must devote a certain amount of time as volunteer before you can be a voting member.
Weekends are usually IDPA/IPSC matches which limits a little more what ranges you can use. They have club sponsored competitions too. They also have a monthly (1st Saturday) maintenance day to clean up and make necessary repairs where they shut down most of the range for the day, but they do have a calendar on their website to be sure you don't run into any conflicts.

It's supposed to be a "club", where there are meetings and elections of board members and voting on bylaws and such, but most people use it as only a range to go to and forgo the politics.

Best deal all around for all things considered, but it just depends on your preferences.
