solareclipse2 Posted November 11, 2017 at 01:37 PM Share Posted November 11, 2017 at 01:37 PM It sounds like a nice place, has anyone been there? I've been there a few times. It's a shiny, clean, brand new, well lit, state of the art range and store. Complete with over-priced product (guns, ammo, accessories), sales people who can't tell single action from double action or a P226 from a P229 but are happy to tell you why a Glock is better than everything else in the store while being completely unable to remove the bolt from a Savage Axis II rifle. If you go to the rifle range more times than not the RSO will disappear while the dude bros two lanes over from you will load and unload their rifle behind you and then pose for pictures. When they're done with that they'll pull out their pistol and shoot their pistol on the rifle range. If you go to the pistol range the RSO there will come up and bother you while you're doing drills to ask if you're military or law enforcement so that he can tell you the controlled pairs you're shooting are rapid fire and you're not allowed to rapid fire unless you're military or LEO.Don't even bother trying to explain the difference because he will just ask you to leave. He also has a magnet handy to check your ammo when he says he saw your bullets cause a spark on the backstop because all steel cased ammo is the same as steel core ammo.

fnnuguy Posted November 12, 2017 at 05:58 AM Share Posted November 12, 2017 at 05:58 AM They've had at least 6 N/D's there since they opened last year. The people working there are clueless and dangerous and now they have full-auto.Just a matter of time before someone gets killed. The mope that shot himself is an NRA instructor and teaches their CC classes in a good broken English!It's funny how they scrub any negative "(anti) social media comments!

The trigger break&reset feel really good to me(no "grittiness" or "sponginess" at all). I think they need to work on their fundamentals and stop whining. Heck it almost feels as good as my AMT hardballer 1911 that has had a trigger job done on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all like a nice smooth trigger, but ultimately our body will become accustomed to what ever we are shooting, so long as we shoot it enough to build muscle memory. I don't mind a long heavy trigger pull. I did like my original Ruger LC9 loooong trigger pull. I did not like it's reset though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have taken it down waiting for the publicity to blow over and then put it back up. They're back online advertising their full auto rentals and tactical classes and IDPA matches.

DD123 Posted November 21, 2017 at 06:55 PM Share Posted November 21, 2017 at 06:55 PM This is why, even though I haven’t made much use of it over the last two years, I do not regret joining a private club. My first couple of years at ASC I was going almost every weekend. The last couple I’ve not gone very much because of shooting in a match almost every Sunday. I just renewed for next year. What really concerns me is the fact that anyone can watch some YouTube videos and understand safety, and the fact that so many people seem to not understand it just reinforces the fact that if you think the average person is dumb, 50% of our population is dumber than that. That’s the only thing I dislike about 2A....it tends to attract meatheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
