The new remodel is nicer, the range is still hot, Iwas there this past Sunday, 8/16. I still find the staff friendly enough, sometimes they get busy and you can't expect to tie them up too long, I'll be back.

I get pretty good service every time I go in. I've had a couple of experiences where staff have spent considerable time helping me find something as simple as a holster. They also make recommendations and have spent plenty of time helping Young try different rental guns. They do have at least one member whos a little gruff and the range can get hot, but I am also a return customer. For me its close and convenient and I never have to wait for a lane. As a matter of fact I usually get my favorite #9.

My buddy and I went there last Sunday. Don't know if the staff reads this forum, but as soon as I entered the store, the manager (at least I think he is) waved at me as soon as he saw me, something he hasn't done in a very long time. I hope they improve their image for the sake of their customers and for theirs too.

As to the temp, I found it alright although the air handling can still find some improvement. Not very many of us inside the range but I noticed the circulation was not good as I was coughing from inhaling gunsmoke/powder after 30 mins. Had to cut it short to get some fresh air.

My membership will expire in Dec and I plan to look for other options.

I was told they were going to put a/c in the range. We'll see what happens.

A/C in any range is horribly expensive. They are looking to expand the lanes when their neighbor relocates.

I didnt know that. Perhaps having a larger range will help. I dont know. I was told by 2 people that they were going to install a/c. For right now its the only viable option for me to shoot frequently.
