December match tomorrow.

This Sunday is the last 3 gun Match of the year.

Good News…. It will NOT be raining in our indoor range and the forecast is 70 degrees and dry for the whole match ;0)

At least 3 stages and shot gun ammo is supplied.

First shots at 9.30 so please be there at 9am.
 
Indoor 3gun? That sounds awesome... Wish it was closer. May have to plan a trip next month...

Wish it was somewhere I was willing to go. That's the closest range to my house (~15min) and I refuse to give them a nickel due to some of their policies.

Which policies?

Used to also be the ammo policy, but I believe that's been relaxed a bit.

Still have a major problem with both of these (although the $50 transfer is fairly reasonable in the market):

- $175.00 e-form processing fee
- $10 usage fee/use, if you want to use the device during the form 4 processing time frame.

I called up there to question the $175 fee, and was told it was accurate. That's when I told whoever answered the phone that that one policy would be enough for me to never walk through the door. Although eForms hasn't existed for Form 4s for a couple years, it's still listed on the site. Charging anything extra for using eForms was absurd, but charging almost the cost of a stamp might as well be extortion.

$10/visit to take something I've paid for out of the safe, considering I'm already paying a range fee? I don't know another range in the US that charges a fee for conjugal visits. Not saying there aren't others, but I've never heard a single person mention it (and I moderate multiple NFA forums, and am active on several others). I can't remember for sure, but this fee might be waved if the suppressor is purchased from TR@LN (doesn't say it online, but I may have been told that on the phone?)...but I'm going to assume the prices aren't competitive to what I could spend at CSC/CFF vendors.

The staggered FFL transfer fees for members vs non-members is fine...but the jacked up rates for transfers from PSA (and others) is excessive.



...and just so I know who I'm talking to, does "our range" mean you're an Owner? Employee? Member?

I believe he just copied that sentence from the email the match director sent out

Sounds like fun! WIsh it wasn't such a PITA to get up there anymore. I used to go a lot when I worked downtown. Now I have to head over to the Range at Ballantyne location.

I go there a lot, and copy / pasted the email from the match director. I asked because I can pass your comments along to perhaps improve the service, if you like.

Sounds good.

The Ballantyne website doesn't list the NFA info, but does have the ridiculous $75 transfer fee for some online retailers.
