    Default Wish someone would open a range like this in WB area

    WB PD's indoor range. Had to qualify an officer for LEOSA and got to use their indoor range. I would die to have access to a range like this, not solely restricted to LEO's.

    Advaced Arms was talking about opening an indoor range a few years ago.

    I thought WB had shut down their range. Something about it being shot up.

    Yes, those are marks from rounds on the walls. I believe they are from buck shot.

    The range was closed for a while, but I believe it was over the ventilation issue, which they seemed to have fixed or addressed.

    my understanding was that he had already purchased all the equipment and was looking for a location to set it up. This was a few years ago.

    Nice!

    I had the good fortune to work for an agency (in WA state) that had a similar range. As part of the range staff, I had access to it 24/7/365 - with "at that time" almost unlimited ammo supply. It does allow one a chance to practice often -

    Our agency made good use of it, most of our officers would practice once or twice each month. (While most "gun guys" might shoot more often, that is pretty good for officers who aren't "gun guys" in an agency with 125+/- officers)

    The skip marks are common, walls and floors etc... Depending on the different drills that you are running you will have angles other than directly down range.
    Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice.

    I was just thinking the same damn thing. How in the hell do you hit a side wall I can see a stray from a noob hitting the ceiling, but a side wall? Thats pretty bad.
