RE: New to Kansas
Sirex, I live just on the other side of the state line from you. Blue Springs MO has a manned 100 m rifle range open year round. they are opened from about 8:00 am until dark. During the week they may be one or two mornings you would not be able to get in. This is where all the area law enforcement do there firearms training. it cost about $3.00 an hour to shoot. They provide targets to you and they do require hearing and eye protection. They will also provide this to you to use if you do not have it. This is a really nice place to site in a rifle.
These guys are very proffesional and extreemly strict on safty. They have someone in the shack wathing and giving instructions on a loud speacker as well as 1 or 2 people walking behind the firing line. They will not fail to kick someone out for being the least bit unsafe. all weapons are to be completly unloded with actions open and magizens out for inspection while people are down range.
The place is named Lake City Shooting Range. It is just north of Blue Springs on 7 hwy.
