    Yep. Bargain. Name another certified range you can take any gun incl a 50 cal and bash on plates to 2km. That has an ro and you don’t have to contend with 40 people all shooting the same targets at once. You can get a lot of training and dope work done on a few rifles for the day. The wind can get pretty awesome for training out there too. Range cost $10000 to set up. It’s not a charity.

    Appreciate the heads up on Malvern being seasonal. It's good to know how each club operates - a club that's open every day during daylight hours and doesn't need a dedicated RO is ideal, since I never seem to be free on official club days. Plus it's a lot more relaxed when it's just a couple people and you can call cease fires easily to change targets and not worry about hogging a lane for someone else waiting to shoot.

    @blair993 So far was mainly for sighting in and hunting but I've always
    had a hankering to get into long range accuracy and if I'm good enough get into a bit of competition work.
