Should be about the same. They have talked about possibly opening up earlier during the summer if there was enough demand and availability of someone to man the post. They also talked about staying opened past dark since they will be installing stadium lighting and a light under each cover.

Is there a schedule for evening safety briefings this week?
[size=1.35em]The briefings this weekend will be on exactly the same days and same schedule as the first set were.[/size]
After that we will be making a video version for members and another for guests to view whenever they come out to the range for the first time.
But I'd do the in person one if humanly possible. The video version will include a written test that requires a score of 100% to pass.
We take members and guests safety as seriously as we take the quality of the instruction we provide. Maybe more so, but we will gladly leave that judgement to you to make.
Oh. And starting July1, we will be open from 9:00AM-9:00PM seven days a week. This is subject to change based on demand, and the installation of appropriate lighting.
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

I'll bring my own, thanks. ;D

yeah, well, we know that lighting is not all cracked up to be. I *usually* prefer no artificial lights at all.
But we have some member folks that need all the light they can get . . . . . And me too so I don't get shot by them. :-[

My family attended the Saturday afternoon briefing, and Charlie covered a lot of ground. JD sat in on it, too. We are really looking forward to going out there on a regular basis! The big picture plan that Charlie laid out demonstrates the vision these folks have for this project, and I'm excited about the opportunities it will bring. I predict that Talon Range will become a well-known venue for shooting sports nationally, within a relatively short period of time.
Do we have a date for the "Grand Opening" event?
Have y'all ever considered opening an indoor range maybe like on Capital circle somewhere, I mean really how long would a little thing like that take
