The Big Springs Range is a top of the line facility:
"Just having land isn't enough to make a great shooting range. It has to be designed and built by people who know shooting. Big Springs clearly was built by people who know and love shooting. From the clay bird layout to the long range rifle bays, whether you are doing serious training or just out for an afternoon of popping some caps, any shooter will feel at home here."
