Client Review on Foothills Public Shooting Complex
Feedback:
One day I went and shot trap. Everyone was friendly, professional, and knew what they were talking about, etc. The facilities were clean and well kept. The range fees were really cheap. I had a great experience. About a week later, I showed up and tried to shoot on their rifle range. You have to qualify on the 50 yard range before shooting on the 200 yard range, which I suppose is reasonable. When I got there, the range was packed. It took almost an hour to get a lane to qualify to shoot. When I finally got a lane, the RO came and checked my ammo. That is when things began to go south. On one hand, I should've checked their ammo policy before I came. However, it's stupid that they don't allow steel core ammo (including M855). It's even worse that they don't allow M193, either. I had tons of steel core .308 and M193 for my guns. When I asked for the reason why, he said it penetrated the barriers between the lanes. I don't see the problem since most, if not all indoor ranges only have plastic or plywood between the lanes. Since I made the hour drive, I decided to go to a Walmart to buy some ammo. When I returned, one of the ROs was kind enough to give me the next open lane since I was there earlier. When the other RO was inspecting my guns to qualify for the 200 yard range, he strongly discouraged me from using irons on my PTR and AR. He said I should just shoot at 50 today and save up to buy a scope since I would "probably not qualify" with irons. He was extremely rude and almost wouldn't even let me. Finally someone stepped in and convinced him to let me try. I qualified with irons on both, but decided to go home as I was pretty angry at all of this. tl;dr - Fun, cheap place to shoot provided you comply with their stupid ammo policy and don't try to run irons with some ROs.
