Thanks for the replies! Glad to hear most of you are on the same page as me. Gotta love THR.
Yup. That about sums it up. I was like, "This is a shooting range, right?!"
Yup, I shoot there a lot. There, you just walk in, say you want a lane, pay the guy, he asks,
"Ammo?"
"Nope."
"Eyes & Ears?"
"Yep!"
"How many targets?"
"Ok, you're on lane #9".
Done deal. That's how it should be. No disclaimers. No licenses. No searches. No trigger locks. No tethers. No, "OMG this guy has a gun! Security!!"
Yeah, on their legal disclaimer page there are some absurd caliber rules, too. Also, no firing from holster, no "rapid fire", no firing from a drawing position... only slow isosceles fire. More rules than I have ever seen at any range (so many I can't remember all of them). The only sign we saw at the entrance was, "All firearms must be in a case" (which ours was).
Yeah, I'm thinking that'll be one of my ranges of choice from now on. Free and no stupid range rules.
"Oh my God!!! He has a gun!!!"
"It's a gun range, isn't it?"
"Security!!!!!!!!"

That's the same Bass Pro I called to ask if they allow Wolf ammo an their range, guy asked "is it full metal jacket?" I said yes. He says "we don't allow full metal jacket."

What you want is the pit. Its an absolutely free range on state land
