Thanks, guys. I wound up going to The Gun Store.
Gunbert, thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, there wasn't a chance to meet up or make any firm plans due to having to try to visit a friend I hadn't seen in years. And no way to bring a bunch of ammo, only had a car one day. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
Anyway, it was great fun putting down Osama and Sadaam. It didn't take long to get my money's worth
, much like another trip to Nevada that I recall
.
The place was very busy, fortunately they were staffed up for it. Every shooter had someone over their shoulder, which (given a bunch of unknown customers & no time for them to evaluate the shooters' safety & familiarity) was a good idea. There were some folks who had obviously not shot before, but the range seemed pretty safe.
