I have a pistol/rifle range at home now. Took a while.
Pros about about outdoor public ranges:
Get to meet a lot of nice folks that will let you try out their guns.
Cons about outdoor public ranges:
They will trash the range.
They will Rambo a 100 rounds of hot 9mm casings down your shirt collar from the adjacent bench.
They will tote a 100 pound cast iron bath tub as a range target. The rounds hit the bathtub and zing past your head.
They will play with a one pound can of black powder. Filling 22 caliber ammo boxes with black powder, insert a fuse, and light it over a one pound open canister of black powder.
They will shoot 100 rounds of 22 caliber at tree limbs in an unsafe direction at a tree limb. When the limb is finally shot down they will describe that heir rifle is so accurate that it can shoot a limb off a tree.
