Bald Mountain

Anybody been out to the Bald Mountain shooting range lately? I was there many-moons-ago but heard some good things about it now. Any thoughts?

Strict rules, nice place! About sums it up in a nutshell IMHO.

RO's are on ego trips. Safe range when I was there sometime ago. 1 round in chamber only.

Don't know when you were there last but that has not even been close to my experience there.

RO's do indeed enforce the rules: one shot every ~2 seconds and 6 rounds in mag.

It's been awhile. That's why I stopped going there.

I've only been going there for a year or so and my experience has been very good. Respect them and their rules and you get a little leeway.

RO's have been great, Pete (the main RO)is on the boards here. Stand up guy.

. . . from the Bald Mountain firing range, great experience especially since it has been @25 years since I was there last!

Anyway, I wouldn't trade the safety rules in force today for some of my previous experiences there in years past. I think you know what I mean in regards to a totally unsupervised range.

Yes, the 6-round/magazine can be a pain but this isn't a blast-away type of place.

Overall a very good & safe experience there. Definitely would go back.

(My 'spotter' liked the hairspray and goodies in the restroom too!)

thanks again keith for the kind words

[seeker01]

and the range guy is safety conscious, but reasonable
as long as you are NOT making a donkey out of yourself, he'll work w/ you

i love the place!

they did major remodeling - can't wait to get some time to try their clays set-up

I was there last week and go about every two weeks, never any problems and very nice people, 6 rounds as stated before, I seem to get away with a double tap every once and awhile, I don't abuse it so it seems to slide, these guys are nice and I'm sure they know, just follow the easy rules and you will never have a bad experience. 8)

I have had :yeahthat: the same experience there.....
The guys are just doing their jobs.... Better safe than sorry !!!
Once you get to know them they lighten up... just like anything else...

I bring my 11 year old there all the time and the guys treat him great... They get a kick out of young shooters following ALL the rules.............

Plus... 7 bucks and you can shoot all day !!!

Is the clays course up and running? 5-stand? I used to shoot there once a week back in the late '90 but ever since Larry Woo ran it into the ground I haven't been back.

Sporting Clays only. IIRC, there was talk of a mini 5 stand course coming. But I'm not for certain.

I visited the range today and I like the set up, layout, strict protocol and procedures..Very friendly "reception"..

This will become my practicing range as soon as I am ready.. (CPL class next week, etc...)

[pberishaj]

Bald mountain will be offering Cpl course beginning April/may taught by me. Hope to see you folks out there.

did the walk through the woods with a couple buddys a few weeks back and it was great
lil expensive for clays but it was fun

[Funk55]

Been there twice in a few months. Nice place to shoot, just follow the range rules and I enjoyed it. I would reccomend it to anyone. I thought the ROs were professional and took the job serious! As they should!

I've been shooting out there off and on for the last 3-4 weeks. Nice range and nice people. Probably will be out there for some more shooting this week.
