I stopped by their table at a gun show last year and signed up for information on rates, the construction and the like. Never received any information, Then they finally got the website up and running so I've been checking it out there. I think I'll stick with Superior Pawn for now.

It definitely looks great, and I know the one in Richmond is one of the best in the nation. My superior membership only cost me 85 and that doesn't expire until Feb next year. Just doesn't make sense for me to carry both. I'll still check them out for other things though.

Membership is pretty steep- does that price include free ammo?

The website actually tells you what discounts membership gets you, stuff like exclusive range rights on weekend mornings, guest passes, etc. Plus since it's 20 bucks an hour range fee (worth it I think for the quality) if you go twice a month you're saving money. |

I bet the facility in VA Beach will be quite successful. The one in Richmond is experiencing some turnover in staff for some reason, but membership there and easy access to somewhere to shoot has definitely improved my scores. When you factor in driving time, expense, heat, bugs and all the rest, the Colonial facility comes out way ahead.
It will be interesting to see if the business model spreads and perhaps becomes a franchise. |

I am a member at the one in Richmond and it pays for itself being I shoot at least 2 times a month. Their ammo prices are kind of high, but they had the best deal in town when I was looking at my Glock 19 and Glock 30sf. Plus if I want to take any classes you do get discounts, discount on FFL transfer fee, discount on rentals and firearm storage, 1 free handgun rental and 1 free machine gun rental and I can call ahead to reserve a lane.

I need to get some practice drawing and firing. It's fine to take a class and all but I need to maintain proficiency in between classes that may be a year or so apart. Does this new range have a draw-and-fire area? (I know LGC has one but I was hoping for something closer and less expensive.)

Nothing concrete that I can speak to. I know that some key people left a year or so ago. I don't know what's going on in recent months, but when you're in the business, you hear rumors and stuff from time to time. |

Maybe they will have real employees that actually wait on people, instead of endlessly gabbing with the girls in tank tops in front of you who aren't purchasing anything. Or the salesman in one unnamed store who stared at me for 10 minutes as he messily gobbled down a sub sandwich, as I stood there... and stood there. This place hopefully will be a step up. I was also hoping for any big name outdoor store where we could get reasonable prices on a good selection of firearms. <sigh> Maybe next time... |

This one is near me in Texas: http://www.friscogunclub.com/ For those that do not like prices, they are not catering to you. They are trying to make a place like a golf club, exclusive, amenities, etc. |
