The pistol range is set up with the targets against a berm and shooting positions on concrete paths (like sidewalks) set at 7, 15 and 25 yards. The issue is that for instance you might be shooting a 7 yards and another person at the target next to your my be shooting behind you at the 15 yard position. The picture is their (Google Earth) primary pistol range. There is a secondary that is similar. There's a rifle range and what appear to be private bays but may be for club shoots. I don't know because I haven't been there in years. The last time I was there they were cash only and charged per gun even if you aren't shooting them.

It happened to me the last time I was there and led to the reason it was the last time I was there.
If I remember correctly (it's been a while since I shot there), the range was divided by the center walkway and you could only shoot from one distance on each side. Still, it is a bit unnerving to see people in your peripheral vision while lining up a shot (i.e. people shooting from the 7 yard line on the right side while we were shooting from 25 yards on the left).
Regardless, I still felt much safer shooting there than the Bullethole. I still won't go back to that range, based on the numerous, unaddressed safety issues I experienced firsthand there...

Hopefully they have done that. When my son and I went we were at seven yards and a bit later a guy arrived and was shooting at 15yards just a few feet to our right.
Even more messed up was that guy had no problem doing that!!

Also nothing resembling a range officer. Just the owner's elderly mom taking the money and telling you which lane to shoot at.
It is an "old school" range where the shooters have primary responsibility for their own safety.
No range masters to heckle you as you progress through your drills.
We shot rifles, while a fellow just yards away practiced his pistol drills.
Even though he moved forward of our firing line, we never considered that we would shoot him.
It was weird, but good to go.

Was originally built in late 1970's strictly for revolver PPC competition and practice.
Its been a while since I visited that range. It was my first and last time. I had some wannabe cop trying to shoot behind me until it turned into a screaming match which I won. I let the management know and he shrugged his shoulders so I let him have it too. I have never been back nor do I recommended that range anyone I care about.
