I am in y'all's state this weekend and went out to the gun range at the finger lakes near Columbia. I will be going again tomorrow. Fantastic range, and the price is right. I wish Texas would build something in this vein to encourage folks to shoot more.

Brother... You are insane!  I swore that place off because of the nut cases.  Never been muzzle swept more in my life.  
Glad you had a good time and made it out safely.  If I didn't have other stuff to do I would take you out to Green Valley in Hallsville.

Thanks for the heads up. It was fairly empty today and on Friday. I will keep that warning in mind the next time I come up. It is still a very well put together range.

Never heard of it.

Of course I have my own 8 bay range.

Yeah... Been by your place a few times.... a bit of a small place...  probably a former small farm sort of thing... lol  Some guys are just truly blessed.

This. I don't mind shooting there if it's pretty empty but sometimes it can definitely be pretty scary there. But it does have nice stuff for the price!

Worst I've ever been swept was multiple times at the same LEO match.  "Aww, it's alright.  It's not loaded.  I'm a trained professional."

I've been hit with a ricochet at Finger Lakes, never again will I set foot at that place.......  Sweeping is the least of your concerns. People shooting on your range, while your down range is more on par.  F**K that place.  Check out Wetstone, Its a drive, but much much much safer.

Finger Lakes is where MOHTF used to have their shoots.  It was the site of the famous bayonet charge.  

Old school stuff.

Had a great time while visiting Missouri. Had some decent bbq, got to shoot twice and hung out with friends. Next time I come up, I will hit y'all up for other places to shoot, and for who has the best bbq.

Last year, we arrived there at around 7am the day of a 3 Gun Match in order to make sure rifles were on.

We were pretty much alone.

I keep my wife and kids away from firing ranges if at all possible, so private land is preferred.
