Guys,
I am a fairly new shooter (and new to this site) but wanted to report my experience at Freestate last week. I shot at Hap Baker a number of years ago and over the last 3 or so years I have shot handguns at Continental Arms a few times a year. I am not an avid shooter by any means but hunt and shoot pretty often. Anyway, I bought a Colt 6920 in September and last week went to Freestate to shoot it for the first time. All I can say, is WOW, what a difference in experience than I have ever had at Continental. I was a bit unsure of myself with the new gun, procedures for ammo and clips, and the range in general. The staff was friendly, helpful and made me feel welcome. Checked my gun and ammo, answered questions about loaded clips, targets, etc. No attitudes, superiority complexes, just nice folks. I can tell you I won't ever go back to Continental. Only bad part of my day was when my glasses fogged up and I pulled them away from my face a bit. As luck would have it, the next shot sent a hot cartridge behind the glasses and burned my cornea! Not a fun experience but healed quickly.
That's it. Just wanted to let others know about a nice facility with friendly staff.
