If something like that was to return in Robinson area I would be very interested.

    The PMSC facility looks pretty nice on their website. Is anyone on here a member who would be willing to sponsor an applicant? I recently moved to monroeville and have no where to shoot.. i am new to shooting which is a bummer because where i used to live was 1.4 miles from A and S.

    PMSC has a very nice indoor pistol range at only $100 for the first year and then $60 a year after! No gun rentals, but everything else one would look for in a indoor pistol range.

    This is how to apply:

    Don't worry about the sponsor until you get there, just ask someone in the membership committee for a sponsor.

    PMSC is the best facility and deal in the shooting sports. Friends I have in from out of state regularly tell me how much better I have it with that place local, and its an hour drive from my house.

    Plus, the indoor range is the same equipment (but different backstop) as Anthony Arms, and only costs $5 an hour+ (so we can afford to keep it nice and keep a filtration system working, happy lungs!)

    Once a member can you sign guests in? I have a few friends who arent from the area but would probably come out once in a blue moon to throw some lead around.. especially in the winter.

    Bonus dumb question: It is probably illegal to hang steel and sandbag my garage and shoot my pistol off in there right? Just making sure.. seems like a terrible idea but the garage is too small for my truck and has a gravel floor.. not a lot i can do with it.

    PMSC allows guests.

    As for shooting in your basement, it is probably a really bad idea. Even if is legal, which depends on where you live, it wouldn't be very safe. You probably wouldn't have enough distance between you and the target. Spray from bullet hitting steel is a danger, unless you are using frangible ammo, which is costly. The minimum recommended distance is 10 yards for handguns. Even if you shot paper, some sandbags are not a proper backstop for indoors.

    There reason indoor shooting ranges spend so much money on ventilation is to protect you from lead poisoning. Lead poisoning can really mess you up. You'd be contaminating your whole garage/house. What if a bullet ricochets and goes through a wall or ceiling?

    It's just a very bad idea.
