Quoted:
Well been wanting to try this range out .......and well after driving an hour ..... Got there an hour and a half before close and I was denied to shoot ... They said I was welcome to come back and try a different day..... All I wanted to do is test fire a handgun I was working on 10 min at best.! I don't think I'll be back!! I was not happy at all!!!! Looks like I'll have to find somewhere else to test (I have a couple that are closer but are outdoor ranges) anybody else been here that might wanna chime in and confirm or convey this experience?  I teach there and know the owner well. Yesterday there were huge waits. However, if you can tell me what time you went in, describe the person who denied you, and be specific about how they treated you I will pass it along. It is policy to accept shooters up to closing. They have a cue system now, and perhaps it wsa indicating a wait time of longer than the range would be open. Not an excuse for poor treatment. The customer service there is usually way above par. |

Quoted:
They were "too busy" which may have been the case just didn't like the way they handled it What a crybaby. Were you expecting them to give you a fucking blow job? They are busy with actual customers in the shop. You show up just before closing with no consideration of what kind of day they have had, and expect the minimum wage employee to treat you like royalty? Have you ever been in the shop before? Apparently not or they would have known you and probably made an exception. Why do gun owners feel entitled to a higher level of service because they are a gun owner? Reminds me of some Fudds I know. They expect because they have a $25k shotgun the world needs to stop and revolve around them when they go shooting. Your first open visit and you don't like what happened to you so you'll bitch about it on the internet. Go wash the sand out of your mangina. |

And that probably is the case! I'm not sure her name but it was some girl with dark hair bout 5'6" it wasnt that CS was all that bad just the fact I was there over an hour before closing and they wouldn't let me shoot I understand that places get busy. But I was willing to pay $18 (which is high IMHO but wouldn't stop me come returning) to do 10 min of shooting. I just don't think you should turn customers away an hour and a half before you close and expect a good review! I got a tour before it opened and it looked very nice and been wanting to try it out ......but when I finally mad ethe drive back .... I got turned away. Guess I should have made it up there sooner. Again not saying its a bad place just disagree with turning away people ........ Just my $0.02 Would you mind sending me via PM contact info. I will forward to the owner. |

I do not think his expectation is out of line, and none of the employees are minimum wage earners. In your self-rightous rant against him you managed to denigrate the staff at the range. Pot meet kettle. |

You aren't being trolled. It's been handled thanks I wasn't trying to help you. I was just trying to figure out if my experience of just a fluke and go figure it's taken out of context. I don't think anyone would be happy about driving over an hour just to drive back Apparently my one time expirence pisses people off (not my intent and I'm sorry it's gone that way) I'm not looking for a fight. I'm sorry I pissed y'all off I've since talked them and everything has worked out (that is what I was referring too)

Just to let you know , my rule of thumb for a longer drive to do something . Call , before you haul.  Yup bad prep on my part!! I was desperately looking for somewhere to test a handgun I was working on!!! I should have called ahead I'm gonna do that for sure next time  . Looked like an awesome place though I can't wait to try it!

I didn't post to a public forum about a range in a TX home town forum bitching how I should have been allowed to shoot just because I showed up with my gun I worked on and drove for 1.5 hours. That's the ranges fault? Really? What the OP has tried to do is get people to side and revolt against a gun range over his own emotional hurt feelings. If I'm gonna drive to a range I've never shot at, and one that wasn't opened the first time I went to it, I'd sure call ahead. I'm sure the girl who didn't butter him up enough in person if he would have called, would have told him that the place is packed, and don't bother showing up that day, and saved him that 1.5 hour drive. Especially since they make more than minimum wage. Being a black male, (I don't call myself African American) I typically take offense to the pot calling the kettle black, but thats ok. I won't let my panties get all in a bunch over a generality, similar to my minimum wage comment. |

The username is certainly apropos. I, for one, welcome the OP's post. It's saved the next person a potential waste of time and gas out to this range. A local range here charges by the hour and closes at 9:00. If I were to show up at 8:15-8:30, and a lane was open, I would expect them to let me in to shoot. If I just wanted to try a new gun out badly enough, I would have no problem paying the full hour fee for a half hour or less. I wouldn't expect them to make an exception at all. Perhaps, they were really busy, but good customer service goes a long way. Some of the worst customer service I've seen has been in gun shops/firing ranges. |

I take offense at your shallowness! Typical racist, offense taken with no basis. The phase has nothing to do with skin tone. It refers to placing judgment on others as manifested from one's self (i.e. look in the mirror). |

I have a bunch of black friends but none that get mad about stuff like this and there's a reason for that. |

Here we go. I guess I need to help some of you out.
I get the pot kettle black. To me personally I find it offensive. That's it. Other blacks feel as I do, others don't. It may not be to you or anyone else. I'm not preaching tolerance or political correctness. To me and me only I don't like it. I don't like the term Black as Ace of Spades either. Both terms rub me the wrong way. I know, i just showed my card and im sure some of you will continuesly keep refrencing the pot/kettle till the end of time in all types of threads, just watch. Say anything you want to me, but most white gun owners are threatened and afraid of armed black men..........and with good reason. Yes I'm black. Don't soften the red neck rhetoric just because I've outed myself now. I enjoy arguing with my white brethren. Relax, and enjoy spirited debate. You might learn something from this coon. |

Both terms rub me the wrong way. I know, i just showed my card and im sure some of you will continuesly keep refrencing the pot/kettle till the end of time in all types of threads, just watch. Say anything you want to me, but most white gun owners are threatened and afraid of armed black men..........and with good reason. Yes I'm black. Don't soften the red neck rhetoric just because I've outed myself now. I enjoy arguing with my white brethren. Relax, and enjoy spirited debate. You might learn something from this coon. you're special

I don't care if you're black. I don't care if you're armed. I also don't care if you get offended about a term that someone uses that has nothing to do with you or with black people. If I offend someone on accident then that's one thing. If I offend someone because they want to take something out of context in order to make it offensive to themselves, tough shit, I don't care. I'm cherokee. I've heard every drunk indian joke and everything else you can think of. I don't care, hell I laugh at most of them if they're funny because I'm a bigger man than that. It's gonna take more than some racial slur to piss me off because I'm not weak and I honestly don't care. I've been to the reservations and I've seen poor, drunk, destitute indians, hell, I'm related to some of them and I understand the stereotype but I don't fit into it. Keep on getting offended at little insignificant things that people say and see how that works out for ya. You realize that by getting offended by bull shit really just give the other people power, right? I could go out in public and say stuff and piss all kinds of people off but guess what? They can't do the same thing to me because I don't care. I don't care what anybody else says. You could call me every single name and slur you could think of and deep down it won't bother me one bit. You just need to chill out and stop sweating the bull shit. You'll feel better for it. |

Well since we are taking things completley out of context; tell me....why do us white boys have good reason to be scared? Sure sounds like a very thinly veiled racist threat to me....alot more so than using a very prominent color use on everything from tires, to computer key boards, to *gasp* the very text used everywhere. |

Ponyboy. Did last summer's 100+degree drought have any effect on the hog numbers that you can tell? The ranch I hunt in the Hill Country everything suffered as the Pedernals and all the tanks dried up. We even had six hundred year old oak trees die. Just curious what the hogs did to keep cool as they can get heat stroke and die. We have water troughs for the cows and wildlife but there was no
natural ground water in between to wallow in. |

Well, this thread is pretty much already derailed so we might as well talking about some hog hunting in it now. 
Where we're at up in north Texas I don't see that it really had much of an impact. I don't know about everywhere though. We were in San Antonio week before last and there were plenty on the 800 acre ranch we were hunting but the 16,000 acre ranch in Laredo has seen almost all of the hogs disappear from there due to the drought. I'm sure that in many places some of them died and others moved from a place without as much water over to places with more water. They're pretty hearty and I wouldn't expect one hot, dry summer to hurt the population much. They'll just adapt. |

Ours moved somewhere with water. We still have some hogs , but you really have to find them and sometimes we can't. Used to we could go out any time of day or night and find some to shoot. |
