May I shoot one-handed?
Yes, provided that you do so in a safe and controlled manner.

Not as such, however we do not allow you to shoot faster than you can control your gun with aimed fire. If you are not hitting your target, you are not in control and must slow down.
May I shoot two guns at the same time, like I see in movies?
No. The gun-handling that you typically see in movies is unrealistic and unsafe, and we do not allow it here.
May I take pictures?
Yes, but you may only photograph members of your party or our display firearms. Photographing other patrons, range personnel, or our facility's security features is strictly prohibited.
What Should I wear?

Although there are no steadfast dress codes, it is wise to wear closed toe shoes and avoid any low-cut necklines to prevent ejected brass shell casings from landing anywhere undesirable.
