So the weather here in CO has been annoying as hell lately, and has been responsible for cancelling matches and stopping me from shooting outdoors. The range that I shoot at has a section of 12 berms that are roughly 50 yards deep, and 25 yards wide. These are perfect for setting up my own stages with different paper targets and steel. Moving is no problem as the entire berm is all mine. However, the weather has stopped me from getting there for the last three weeks. I don't mind shooting in the snow, but finding brass is so much harder and I hate loosing it out there.
So today I called up the newer private indoor range and asked if I could try out the range for a fee. They allowed me to sign up with their instructor and take a "class". The gentleman left me alone and let me shoot for almost an hour. I set up two targets with a no shoot in between. The range is quite nice, and the gent that was watching over me was excellent. I was able to draw, do mag changes, and shoot at both of my targets. The issue was I felt so confined in my lane, and my shot timer was getting battered by the 357 mag and another larger revolver in either of the lanes next to me.
I am trying to figure out if this range is worth joining to do limited, keep the rust off training. How do you guys that shoot IPSC train when so confined? Any tips on working on transitions and such while in this setting?
Thanks a lot.
