We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

and if you don't get something right, they go over it with you...they give you a packet, and the test to fill out, and basically you regurgitate what's in the packet onto the test. Easy as pie.

I've never heard of a fee at the NRA range for taking the safety test.
Allow an extra 20 minutes for the test. The answers are posted all around the room. The RSO at the counter will review any mistakes you make. Some of the questions and answers are poorly worded.
The NRA Range is open to the general public. NRA members receive a discount on range fees.
NRA Members - $12.00 per hour/per lane.
Additional shooter sharing a lane with a member - additional $8.00 per hour/per lane.
Non-members - $15.00 per hour/per lane.
Additional shooter sharing a lane with a non-member - additional $10.00 per hour/per lane.
Shooters under the age of 18 sharing a lane with an adult - free

A Merry Christmas Eve to y'all, and a bump-to-top to make sure we're still on for this!
I'll be bringing my brother and his fiancee, so we'll need to take one test (fiancee), probably around 5:30PM or so.

Now I know what Santa must have felt like last night. I'm packing up my toys for a trip.
So far - AR-15 in .45acp, Marlin Camp in .45acp, S&W 625, 1917& 340PD in .45acp, Sig 220 in .45acp, AJ "Thomas" in .45acp, AMT Backup in .45acp. Anybody see a trend? :lol:
I'm also going to bring my Saiga .410 - it's almost .45acp!
Probably going to bring 1 or 2 others in oddball calibers. .32H&RMag, .38S&W, and whatever else I can lift ammo for.
Oh, yeah! I'll have my Downsizer WSP (World's smallest Pistol) with me. I'm offering cash $$ :monkeyto anyone who can load, fire, eject, reload, and fire again in under 30 seconds. I will be demonstrating first to show it can be done.
till then,
stay safe.

I'll be there too, just not sure when. I'm outta work at 4:30, but I bet we leave [work] early. If I do get stuck there till 4:30 I'll be at NRA somewhere around 5:30-6:00. I never did see if the time changed to 6pm, but 6 would work much better for me.

It was good meeting everyone! 3fgburner, AR15Texan, Neplusultra, Tess, nakedshoplifter, and...was it skidmark's AK-47 I shot? It was a night of firsts for me--first time shooting a rifle, first time shooting an AK-47, first time shooting an AR-15, first time shooting a 1911, first time with a Ruger Mk.II, first time with a Tokarev...
Man it was fun! I wish I had as interesting equipment (I should've brought my P7M10!).
Thanks, everyone!

Also great to meet everyone and now I'll be able to put names to faces! The AK was a Yugo M70 with an underfolder stock
The .454 is a cannon! Dex's markov and P-38 were also interesting.

and Neplusultra's PLR-16 was a blast (pun intended!). My brother said I had a "s#!t-eating grin" after the second shot =)
