HIGH RIDGE, Mo.The rifle/pistol range at the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Jay Henges Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center is now open to the public.

Edit - To fix link

Nice! Been waiting for them to open up for a few years now, it’s the closes outdoor range for me

So just looking at the picture it's outdoors but completely covered?
I'm also guessing that no steel core (understandable) also means no steel cased.

It used to be just the shooters under roof, but the pic appears to be a bunch of pergolas to keep people from shooting too high. Still open air, but from the shooters perspective you can't see/shoot between the boards.

No steel core is to prevent over-penetration. Steel cased wouldn't hurt anything, so since it's not listed I think it would be okay.
The only negative I can see would be not wanting it mixed in when they sweep up brass, because it would create problems when they go to recycle it. I'd call and ask them before going.

I just saw this on another forum; apparently St. Louis County/Henges requires masks now.

What a joke.

good! It was a nail biter for a while there when they couldn't find anyone within budget to fix that bullet trap...

Actually replaced the bullet trap because the old one was essentially unrepairable, also replaced several of the down range baffle panels because of heavy bullet strikes to them.
