Sorry about the unpleasant experience. I worked Saturday and it was never busy enough for us to have to use the waiting list but unfortunately, that is how we have to do it when the range gets to capacity until the next phase of Covid reopening starts.

Are you ever available to go out there on a weekday? If so, let me know and I'll be happy to take you out there and you'll have the range all to yourself unless any other range officers decide to go out that day. That's our #1 perk of being a volunteer in the organization. We can go on weekdays when it's closed to the public.

Email me at CDANIEL985@GMAIL.COM if you want to talk more about going out there.

No need to be sorry. Like I said my fault for not understanding the rules. And I guess I should have hit the rifle range first but the pistol range is what normally gets busiest first. I assume everyone is out shooting their new AR’s.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I work 8-5 every week. And I work in Metairie so it’s even more difficult. Otherwise, I would consider becoming a volunteer myself for that perk alone.

Well please don't give up on us. We're all having to deal with these social distancing guidelines but once all these restrictions are lifted we'll be back to normal operations. That doesn't meant we won't have wait lists any time in the future. It happens quite often, especially as the weather gets a little cooler and the hunters start coming out to sight in their rifles before hunting seasons. But hopefully by then we won't have to require yall to stay in the parking lot.

Keep my email address that I posted above and please let me know next time you come out. I know it's only $6.00 to get in but I'd like to take care of your entry fee with a pass and give you a few extra passes to use whenever you'd like.

That's pretty much exactly right. I went out there Friday just for a couple hours to see how everything was going on our first day reopening and then I worked my shift Saturday. There were a LOT of 1st time shooters and shooters with new "toys" putting them through their paces.

The pistol line is really the only line we were concerned about since it's the only one we have to worry about people keeping their spacing since the lanes are within 6ft of each other. Our benches on the rifle line are more than 6ft apart so we don't have to "skip a bench" to keep proper spacing like we do at the pistol line. But the rifle line sure was the one to fill up quickest all weekend.
