Being an avid shooter I was excited to check out the new range. Ive been to many different indoor ranges around new England and I know it is substantially louder shooting indoors rather than outside, but there is something about this place that makes the concussion unbearable. I think its because the room is too small or maybe the exposed concrete but I was shooting low powered 9mm loads (beretta 92 FS) and I could feel it in my sinus and teeth. I should mention I was the only person shooting at the time.
Not pleasant.
If you are a precision shooter or new to the sport or a competitor I do not recommend this range. The over pressure (or concussion) in that room will make you flinch and teach you to be trigger shy, these are the worst habits to pick up, and shooting here reinforces bad habits.
Before I could finish my first magazine, I had an ejected shell bounce off the lane divider and snag in between my safety glasses and face and burn me. The pain wasn't a concern I am just angry I am going to have a scar on my face now.
Every indoor range I have been to has a shell catcher integrated into the divider or soft material on the divider to prevent this from happening. The dividers at Hot Brass are made of a hard plastic material which deflects hot brass back onto the shooter. Not pleasant.
Because I had shot only one magazine and I was injured, I asked for my money back and was denied. I was in the lane less than 5 minutes and came out with a burn on my face and was denied a refund.
The headache from the noise lasted a good 3 hours after that. Worst shooting experience of my life.
Thanks for the scar on my face.
