In my area, there is a "Sportsman's Association", that has an indoor range for Pistol/.22 Rifle, and a 200yd outdoor rifle range, members only.. I have been living here for almost 30yrs, but I am still not a member of their "Association".. After going to an "orientation meeting", required before membership, witnessing the arrogant and overbearing manner, and getting up and leaving half way through, I decided not to join.. That was 20+yrs ago, and they still resent me for it, lol..
I have a shooting range at home, but I only use that rarely, it upsets my animals.. There are several suitable shooting places within a few miles of home, with up to 1000yds of room.. I keep a portable rifle range in the back of my SUV, so I don't need their private "Association" BS! 8x 10" steel gongs with folding stands, paper grid targets for sight in, round bullseye and anatomical score targets, a super rigid folding 3x8ft shooting table, empty sandbags, spotting scope, laser rangefinder, gun cleaning stuff.. It all lays flat and compact in the rear cargo area.. I just toss the gun cases and ammo bag in the back seat, and go..
The shooting table is really cool, not some flimsy polymer junk.. It is actually a professional portable massage table.. I paid $40 for it at a garage sale, like brand new.. It is 3'x8', hardwood, adjustable height, and level.. Folds in 1/2 like a giant suitcase with the legs inside, even has padded carry handles.. Open, it has a cable system triangulating the top and legs, so it can hold up to 500lb whales.. Originally, it had a 8" thick foam pad, and vinyl cover, but I stripped that off and replaced it with a 1/2 ACX plywood top.. It is very rigid,and will seat 2 shooters side by side.. One of my greatest garage sale scores ever!
