Aaaaaa, can't the Club Members figure out what/how to improve your range. I'm sure, betwix all of you, there is alot of knowledge on different ranges and ideas on how to improve your own.

I would think that only the Club Members can really submit ideas as they know what you currently have, it's capabilities, it's weaknesses.

Just MHO.

as with most organizations these days, there are a lot of experts with conflicting ideas. just seeking other, unbias suggestions, alternatives.

Sparemag,

The NRA itself is one of the best places for the info you are after.

Cant really say with out seeing the range.
If outside:
You will want to make sure you got a good back stop... maybe rent a bulldozer to push up some earth to make a bigger one or a wider one...
Overhead cover is good for the bench area... if you have a bench area...

Man... where do I start?

If indoors - try better lighting, or ventalation... heck - if you got all that - buy a pop machine for drinks and a vending machine for ammo...

Seriously - describe your range.
