The best part of the Rod N Gun club I belong to is that it's 3 miles down the road.
When the trap range crew turns out on Saturdays, they all shoot off a volley at 9:00 a.m. (ranges open at 9 and closed at sunset) too tell the world their alive and well... and I can hear it from my house.
Every member acts as their own RSO, and the few club designated RSOs (seldom seen) try to be helpful. And the range is very safe... (club has had NRA consultants out on a couple of occasions).
95% really nice and polite people, and the others, just obnoxious from inexperience.
Dues are $60/year, but if you turn out on work days, you can get credit towards your dues.
Just set up for falling plates... lots of fun.
My only gripes... longest rifle range is only 200 yds, and they don't allow bowling pins, tannerite or other "creative" targets and they can cram 15 minutes of information into an 80 minute long meeting better than anyone I know.
