I think it looks like a nice place to shoot. However, I think you need to add some pictures of guys with their shirts off shooting!    :P

Well its a good looking site, you ought to look into the Adobe web creation tools.  Alot of money in contract web design.  I'll have to watch the Apple comments from now on though. ;D

Phil,

Very nice looking range and web site.

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I did not recognize a facility that appears in maybe 3 pictures in the Gallery.


It appears to be 3 lanes each with 5 slanted baffles with what appear to be large blocks as the lane divider walls and end walls.  The baffles look to be supported with green poles and there is a green table and a piece of equipment that appears to be maybe a 'Lane" of some type.   

Can you, or someone, let me know the purpose of this setup? 

Thanks, and again, sorry if this is a DUH.

do you mean this one

that is one of the pistol ranges. 

it is used for IPCS  the table is just to put gear there

the baffles at the top are   to stop bullets   for any AD's  or miss fires    we have them  all over the range. 

the large divider blocks are just to separate the ranges   there are 3  so you can have 3 different set up's 

at the very end  they can shoot shot gun  as well in there match   it is also used for our SAS section

hope that makes it clearer to understand

Pretty good design and use of CSS for a non-designer. Is this from a template? A photo vignette of a photo of some actual shooting would be cool in the upper banner, where the more rustic image of the trees is. It could be inset into the existing image and could create more interest to get people further into the site.

Those hills look a lot like California. We just don't have quite as many super-poisonous creepy crawlies - just cougars and rattlesnakes.
