I never had a real shooting range to go to until I got married last Nov. My wife is from Fayetteville, GA and there is a place there called, Autrey's Armory. They have a very good selection of guns and shooting stuff, a very helpful staff, and a pistol and rifle range.
Up until now I have only been able to shoot on hunting land and a buddy's private land.
Some things I like about the range are it is inside and you can shoot reguardless of weather, you don't have to go to the target, but let it come to you, and clean up of spent cases and used targets is easier.
The main thing that I do not like is shooting alone. My wife is not into shooting and when we go there she wants to spend time with her family, so I go to the range alone. I haven't been going long enough to meet any of the regular shooters yet. Also, there is the fact that you do not know who is shooting beside you. You have no idea how safe they are. And, I guess most of all I miss the fellowship of sitting around with the ear protection off and talking guns and looking over each others guns while taking breaks from shooting.
Do any of you who go to ranges have any similar feelings/thoughts?
