Went to the Wooster Mt State Range in Danbury, CT today. Great range.
Anybody who has gone to and cursed at the Blue Mt. range in Westchester Co., NY will be pleasantly surprised. This place is the opposite of that range.
Blue Mt. seems like they're trying to keep you away with their unbearable atmosphere. Single loading only, and the range officer hoovers over you. watching you and repeating it annoyingly. They charge by the hour, $10 per, and if you arrive and just miss the 1/2 hour target change, well too bad, you just lost a 1/2 hour of shooting time. The range officer gleefully told me my time was up. Bad attitude, takes the enjoyment out of shooting. Hate that place.
So went to Wooster Mt. for the first time and it was wonderful. Fire whatever you want, as many as you want to load and as quick as you'd like (or can afford).
The range officers were friendly, told you the rules and were safety conscious, but no attitude.
$15 for as long as you want to stay, 50 yard range. They sell clay pigeons if you want to set something up besides paper. Saw many shot up bowling pins on the berm to shot at also. Paper only at Blue Mt.
Highly recommended and worth the extra travel time if you're from NY. Close enough to the Danbury Fair Mall that you can drop your significant other off at the mall, and shoot for a couple of hours while they shop.
The best part was I went there to test my hunting rifle, and it was spot on. Gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
