I just posted this on my facebook, so i just copied the whole thing over here. people on this forum constantly seem to rave about fletchers and how crappy shooters on 6mile is. well......i'm going to be the oddball i guess and say that fletchers can shove it.
well for one they were super friendly when we were shopping around for heathers gun. took their time with us and so on and so forth. today when we went in and they found out we bought a gun somewhere else, they didn't even wanna give us the time of day.
they are way to freaking overpriced on most if not all their stuff to the point of being so ridiculous that it's not even affordable. for example: renting/trying 10guns at shooters cost $8+ammo. renting/trying 10guns at fletchers cost $80+ammo.
shooters allows open carry and range use without problem. fletchers allows open carry also. so heather and me are on the range breaking in her new gun when she decides to take a break and so i go to use mine. so i un-holster mine, lay it on the tray load my spare magazine and get ready to shoot when suddenly i get called out. they tell me that i'm allowed to open carry, but i'm NOT ALLOWED to take it out WHILE AT THE FIRING LANE. if i want to use it at the range i have to bring it in encased.
apparently somebody shot himself with his own gun while it was in his holster, so now nobody is allowed to use holstered weapons on the range anymore. REALLY??? but it's impossible for somebody to shoot himself or somebody else with an un-holstered gun???
fletchers minimum range distance is 30feet. shooters minimum distance is 20feet. may not sound like alot in some cases, but when you are talking about a difference of a 3" barrel vs. a 5"+ barrel, it can make quite a bit of difference. specially when you have a brand new gun that you are trying to get used to and sight in. so needless to say, the targets didn't look very good for a while.
and it was ******* freezing in there. Heather's hands were turning blue (she's sensitive to cold anyways), and at the end didn't even want to shoot anymore because her hands were so cold and she was shivering, and even i was very chilly. at shooters it was very comfortable on the range and in the store room.
fletchers also doesn't allow the use of WOLF and BEAR ammo on their range, which are two of the brands that heather and me use. so at shooters i can use my own ammo which i can get for as cheap as $0.20 per round, while at fletchers i have to use their ammo which costs me $0.40 per round.
oh and just for shits and giggles i guess..........
at fletchers you can't smoke. at shooters you can. LOL
anyways.......some of it may be an issue, some of it may not be. but overall, between the distance from our house, the friendliness/environment and the cost of the use, i will stick with shooters. even the customers seem friendlier at shooters. the few times i've gone there so far, people have always struck up friendly conversation and just chatted a bit. the few times heather and me went to fletchers just to look around, people always seem to stare me down and look at her like she's in the wrong place or lost.
