    We do allow reloads, despite words to the contrary. I use reloads in there all the time.

    The minimum age we recommend is twelve, but maturity and ability to focus are also an important part of the equation.

    We have had some very mature ten year old shooters here who did very well, we recommend not going below age ten for indoor range shooting because of the pressure waves.

    Thanks for the quick reply. My daughter is only nine and won't be ten untill October. I may stop in with my brother just because I have been hearing very good things about you guys. I also like the attitude you have shown throughout this thread.

    Well all their employees aren't on the same page. They told me last might "No reloads". I would have bought my membership last night if it want for being told that.

Its not the thing for everybody, but some really appreciate it. There are some avid shooters in that class as well.
    The fact is that numerous posts have been made that acknowledged my criticism, but fail to actually address the issue. Instead of simply stating whatever the credentials/etc are (I guess there truly are none?), there have been numerous mentions of a trial class. That has nothing to do with the point.

    Thumbs up Re: New(ish) Pistol Range in Philadelphia

    Stopped in just a couple days ago and liked the atmosphere. Guys were nice and I even got to see a Blackberry destroyed with a Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum. Just wondering if they let customers shoot steel cased ammo. That's the questions that I get from people that want to go shoot. Being that there is a shortage of brass rounds available I'm hoping that they do.

    I have shot aluminum and steel cased ammo there in the past month or so with no problem. Never "officially" asked but I personally don't know of any range that prohibits it's use. What's the reasoning behind banning it anyway?

    Sure, bring as much steel cased ammo as you like. Its just the bullet material and configuration that matters. Jacketed lead is best, lead ball is fine too, solid copper is fine. Anything with a steel core is a problem though, Especially in rifle rounds. Anything but steel cored bullets, tracers, incendiary, high explosive, armor piercing and high explosive armor piercing bullets. Aside from that anything goes.

    Talk to Yuri if you have any electronics you'd like to bring and shoot.
