I had a chance to visit Jefferson Indoor and ask a bunch of questions.
First of all THEY'RE OPEN!!! FINALLY!
1. They're a little more expensive than The Shooters Club by a couple of bucks.
2. They do have a bunch of handguns to rent
3. You CAN shoot rifles there, HOWEVER, you can only shoot their rifles... the reason being they need to regulate the types of ammo being put down range in order to protect the range and equipment. They have a number of "Semi-Auto Packages" listed on the website that include ARs, AKs, a Tavor, a Thompson, an M1 Garand, an M1 Carbine, a Sig 556, MP5s, and more. While I was there I saw some idiot shooting 410 rounds from a judge and he had to be given a warning (just because you can shoot it from a pistol, doesn't mean its allowed).
4. The largest caliber that I've seen is a 30 06 M1 Garand.
5. They have FULLY AUTOMATIC packages that will be available soon (kindof like the vegas ranges).
6. You can purchase memberships online
7. They are about to offer online range reservations
8. You can shoot pistol caliber rifles (9mm ARs, .45ACP Kriss Vector, .22LR, etc.)
9. You can bring your own weapons to shoot as well.
10. Any concealed carry or other training classes are all still held at the Shooters Club.
11. Gift certificates from the Shooters Club and Jefferson Gun currently do not work for the jefferson Indoor Range... but apparently they're working on that.
I mean the facility is top notch! Everything is new (as long as the shooters are respectful and keep it that way). They're working on a lounge upstairs with a television to view the range... they're going to support bachelor parties, and more!
All in all it was a great visit and I enjoyed the range! All electronic controls.. but I wish it had the ability to rotate the targets for training.
OH, one more thing... If you go, DON'T SMELL LIKE WEED and PULL YOUR PANTS UP!! Especially if there are women in the place. You will promptly be asked to leave. Just an FYI. I saw three sets of people that were politely asked to leave because of an overwhelming smell of marijuana. One guy was asked to pull his pants up... so he did and was allowed to stay.
OH, and one final word... Straw Purchases... I couldn't BELIEVE the number of people that were caught attempting this while I was there. Not even trying to hide it either... SOOO obvious. I mean come on people.
I hope everyone goes and has a great time! People watching is even fun!
