I visited Full Armor Gun Range for the first time this past weekend. It was a basic 25 yard indoor gun range with electric target tracks. The price was $15 / shooter / hr. They didn't care how many guns I brought. They allowed rifles up to .223, but I didn't ask about anything bigger. The people were friendly.

Their quirky rule (every range has at least one) was absolutely no ferrous metal ammo. Brass and lead, OK. No steel core, no steel case, etc. They enforced this rule by passing a magnet over every box of ammunition I had. They also forbade magazines containing ammunition in them presumably b/c the magnet test wouldn't work through a magazine. I was given the option of unloading the mags, leaving the loaded mags with them, or leaving the loaded mags in the car. The implementation of this rule was a near complete empty and search of my range bags. As I usually travel with loaded guns, in holsters, in my range bag, it was uncomfortable when they suggested that I present said guns for inspection in the store surrounded by people. I think handling a loaded gun in the middle of any store is poor form. In addition, they made a mess of my organized range bags dumping the contents of boxes and sprinkling tools and accessories among boxes of ammo.

Full Armor Gun Range has a website. It defaults to https (good). Their location and hours are easy to find on their website. It is not easy to find their pricing on their website. They do not have their range rules on their website. They do not mention or discuss their quirky rule on their website.

Overall I thought the range was OK. I didn't like the implementation of their quirky rule, but I don't have a problem with the rule itself. I think they should have more information on their website. I had a lot of fun. I will go back.
