I don't have one of my own Cal, as the Club has great solid wood setups under cover on cement where 10-12 people can shoot at a time. It has a red light that goes on so there are no accidents when people want to go down range to the targets, etc. I usually go during the day and there are never more than one or two other people there. It has big earthen berms at 50, 75, 100, 200, and 300 yards with wood setups to staple your targets to. It is 12 miles up there though and a lot of times I go right outside of town to a small setup the DNR has on public ground with several cement benches, but it only has a 50 yard backstop for handguns and a 100 yard one for shotguns and rifles. The Club operation is exceptionally clean, while the open state operation is always a mess with slobs shooting at everything they bring out that isn't allowed out there (computers, small TV sets, etc.) because all the DNR does is empty the trash cans and there is no daily oversight of the place.
