New Range - Guardian Training Center Warminster, PA
A month ago Guardian Training Center opened in Warminster, PA. This is a state of the art facility and you should check out their web page www.guardiantrainingcenter.com. The people that work their are all interested in defensive shooting and helping the shooter. There is always a range officer in the bay you are shooting, but they stay in back ground and only make sure what you are doing is safe. The heavy bay lets you draw from holster. The facility as you can see from web site is designed this facility is designed for defensive training. Their even is a shoot house. I suggest if you get a chance stop by and check it out as this is the future of ranges.

The web site sure is nicely done and everything looks impressive in the photos.I'll have to make it a point to stop in if I am ever out that way.

Looks VERY nice. The kind of range that I would be a member of.
I am hoping that the two upcoming indoor ranges near Pittsburgh (Keystone Shooting Center and INPAX) are just as nice.

It must be quite a place, the bronze membership is already sold out, 100 dollar one time registration fee plus 29 dollars a month for a one year commitment. The next level up is 125 reg. fee and 39 dollars a month, one year commitment. This with a higher level of priority for range time waits. It probably pays to go on off peak times and pay the hourly fee, much more reasonable. Much like the range in Avondale.

Orive,
They look like they did something very similar to what we are doing. Our memberships are less, but they seem clean, organized and they know what they are doing. We are getting close and will open around Thanksgiving. Make sure to ask for me or give us a call and I'll be happy to give you a tour. Hopefully we won't disappoint.

The check in and rental area is large and loaded, again... lost of pistols, shotguns, and rifles to choose from. We shot in the "heavy" bay (25 yards max), where they allow all manner of pistol, rifle and shotgun, including speed shooting and drawing from holster. I would recommend doubling up on your ears, it was loud. Nice high speed, programmable, target system. They have large, life size, printed targets available. Well lit, and kept clean by an on duty RO/attendant. The consent form was a bit much (5 pages, 3 signatures, 8 initials, a ton of check marks), but you only need to read and fill it out once. I did not get to see the "quiet" bay, the "tactical" bay, or the "Shoot House". The are open until 10pm.
Now for the important part... cost. For 2 walk up, non members, shared 1-1/2 hours lane time, (2) 2'x3' targets, (1) pack of 12"x18" splatter targets, (1) rental of Glock 22 (.40 cal), (3) boxes of .40 cal range ammo = $106 out the door. I brought my 2 9mm pistols, targets, and ammo in with no issues (no steel ammo allowed)
