As of this past week, there are 805 members in a club designed to accommodate 250, with more than 350 people on a waiting list.

Sounds like it's time to open another facility or three.

Probably can't due to some regulation or another. This facility is probably grandfathered.

I've been on the waiting list for four years. I'm currently driving about 50 miles to the Weld County range. The lefties here really wet their panties at the idea of another range opening.

Many communities are in the same situation or worse. In our case we have the only well equipped club in several counties (near Lexington, KY.) We have about 2500 members and a waiting list. Some years ago we relocated from an essentially urban location to approximately 2300 acres in a rural setting.

It wasn't easy to find a location where neighbors would accept us. We could not make such a move today without many more challenges - probably a battle through the courts.

IMO the next round of shooting ranges will be indoors, perhaps underground if they are to be near urban areas.
