Thanks, that helps a bit. What kind of targets would I generally bring for Pistol shooting? I hate to make the 20+ mile drive and realize I forgot something I needed. Also, I read that some ranges don't allow FMJ...is this just in regards to rifles? I can't see it being a real issue in 9mm, but again I don't want to bring the wrong type.

I grew up in rural Arizona...so shooting ranges are not something I am familiar with. I just purchased a XD9SC that I would like to shoot to become comfortable with, but I have no idea what I am doing when I go to a range. What is the procedure for a newbie like me? I am not super close to any that I can find...Bullet Trap is probably the closest, maybe Elm Fork. Is one better for a first timer? I think Grapevine Bass Pro has one as well.

How much should I expect to shoot? Most times I have been shooting it has been a case of taking turns, so probably not more than 50 rounds at a time, but I never felt fatigued. I don't want to overdo it, but I also don't want to spend a bunch to shoot just a few dozen rounds.

Do I need to bring targets? What kind?
