93 FORD BRONCO
Rock Crawler
So I just bought my first rifle about a month ago, a mosin nagant and I have been dying to take a day and go out to the only range in my city that will allow such a high caliber rifle. Anyways I had planned this out on Friday. I called a few friends an made plans to meet them out there. I had $35 to pay for ammo and admission fees. Ok so my day had already started off bad when I tried to call my friend who was supposed to meet me up there and he didn't answer. I still haven't heard from him and we planned to go around 12:30. So after waiting for about 2 hours to hear from him I finally said screw it and left to go by myself. I had called the range to make sure they were open since its labor day and to see if they were charging extra due to the holiday. It is $14 on the weekdays and $20 on weekends. So the guy on the phone tells me yes they are open and that it is still only $14. So now I'm getting all my stuff together and loaded into the car. I go ahead an drive out there but I had to stop by the sporting goods store to pick up some ammo and targets, no big deal. I finally get to the range which is about 20-30 miles from my house. I sit through the 20 minute safety video and take there stupid little test. So I get done with the video and go into the office to pay for the day. The man behind the register asks me if I needed any hearing or eye protection I told him no I already have my own. So he rings everything up and tells me the total is $21!!! Inside my mind I mentally exploded. I was ready to jump over the counter and strangle this guy. Here I am covering all my bases and calling ahead to make sure the price didn't go up because of the holiday and when I get there they tell me it's extra because of the holiday. What the hell. I explained to the man I only had $15 on me. Enough to cover what would have been the admission fee. I explain that I had called ahead and that I was told it was only the normal weekday fee of $14 and he told me there was nothing he could do and that I would just have to come back another time. So here I am 30 miles from home, ready to shoot and worth everything I needed. And now I can't shoot because they gave me wrong information. Needless to say I left pissed the hell off. If it was not the only place in my city to shoot my rifle I would never go back. On top of all this the man behind the counter started laughing when I told him the situation. This place has the worst customer service I've ever experienced and on top of all that I had to sit through a 20 minute safety video with a bunch of 80 year old guys telling me not to walk Downrange while the line is hot. Common line I really need to be told that. Well now I have to wait until Friday before I can go back and try to finally shoot some rounds through my rifle. Well. Rant over. Let the flaming begin.
