Special information: Due to the layout of the ranges, it is possible to be "sprayed" with lead from shot or pistol. This spent "lead rain" in our past visit was not much of an issue, but the possibility exists, and you should know about it and understand there's a reason why "eye and ear protection is REQUIRED" at this location. For this reason, attendance is at your own risk.
