I have gone there often and recommend it 100%. I don't have a membership yet only because I have not had $300 to drop on it. The only downside is on the weekends it can get kind of crowded. Also if there has been a lot of rain it gets kind of soupy but that doesn't bother me. Great conditions for testing gear! I have talked with the owners extensively, Mike and Tom are both great guys. Tom is also a class 3 FFL and manufacturer of all kinds of goodies, ah-la suppressors and select fire SBRs, and he regularly brings some of them when he is there. Supply the ammo and you can shoot them. Awesome place.

It's a little primitive, bring a cooler of chilled water, maybe some toilet paper for the porta potties. Beyond that, two rifle ranges, 100 and 200 yds, they have a few steel targets to hit, benches for shooting, several pistol ranges with dueling plates which are fun. It's very sandy so it drains well, even after a heavy rain. Cost is $10/day. Open to the public on weekends, it can get a bit crowded at times (more than two shooters is crowded to me).
Yeah, I've been there a lot.

It's not the BZ, but it's still good.

It's a great place. Owners are top notch instructors if you want classes. If many people support the place, I can see it really taking off. It seems to be the best option on the northshore for training.
I've never had a safety issue there but, the place being less structured and more open to training and not just shooting from a bench, I would not take relative beginners there without being willing to assure their adherence cardinal to safety rules.

Mineralman55 and wildbillkelso sum it up. Range is open 24/7 - 365 to members (no electricity). Members are allowed to draw weapons; move and shoot and a lot of other private range advantages. I am a member. I usually go on weekends and it is not crowded. It does not flood out like honey island. Everyone is a/the range officer. It is 15 minutes past Honey Island which is a great range, especially for the new shooter or the once a year hunter. If you shoot regularly, want to check your real zero at 150-200, or prefer practice from more than a bench, MCTA is a much better range. I highly recommend it.
Excellent place to shoot. I have been a member for the last year or so. Covered rifle ranges and one covered pistol range. Two pistol ranges are not covered. Can be messy after a lot of rain but gun fights don't always happen on beautiful days. Bring a cooler with water. The weekends do get pretty busy but it is quiet during the week. Lots of good guys and gals there. It is a grown up range so you are responsible for you and the people you bring with you. Plans in the future for a 300 yard range. Mike offers a lot of good training. A lot of the people shooting there have police or military backgrounds and are always helpful if asked a question.
