"Test Driving" different firearms just got harder at TargetMaster
So, I took the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course over the weekend and was all ready to take off work either tomorrow or Thursday and go down to TargetMaster to rent some of the Pistols that I have on my short list....
Well, it looks like that just got a bit harder to do:
via Targetmaster's site:
To help ensure the safety of the staff and other patrons, the following policy is effective immediately:
NO CUSTOMER MAY RENT A GUN IF THEY ARE SHOOTING ALONE
Exceptions:
If customer is in the possession of their own firearm that they will be shooting at the time of the rental
If customer is a member and it is not their first time on the range
Being that I don't have a gun to bring, and I only have a few people I know that shoot (most working normal hours and don't live really close). I guess I will need to plan my trip a little more in detail or meet up with people that own the particular model that I wanted to try out at a range in their area.
I guess I can understand the rule, I just thought I had everything planned out and was doing it all correctly..
Thought I would pass this along in case anyone was planning on doing the same thing and for all of those on this forum that (correctly) recommend first time buyers renting before they buy.It's called "WORK" for a reason, they wouldn't pay you for it if it was fun.

This is in response to their 2nd suicide within 6 months.

Would French Creek Outfitters be closer to you? They don't have such a policy.

Classic Pistol has the same kind of policy. You have to have a gun in order to rent one or be in a group of two or more.

French Creek is about 5 minutes out of the way on my way home from work. If you want to try out anything or meet up some night, let me know.

Re: "Test Driving" different firearms just got harder at TargetMaster
FC is about 3 miles from my house. I'd be willing to meet you there. You could test my M&P .40 FS, Kahr CM9, LCR 38+p, and a couple .22s for the cost of your range fee. In my experience, the lines to shoot there are much shorter than Targetmaster on most days. Probably because there are a couple private clubs nearby. If you want to try just mine, we could shoot for free at LPRGC. If you want to try anything else, you'd be looking at a rental fee at FC.
No pressure, just throwing it out there. I have a guest pass for LPRGC that allows two guests, so you could bring someone if you'd like.
