A new indoor range has opened near me with benches for rifles, 100 yards target distance. It has 6 benches, moving target carriers (no walking downrange), and video cameras trained on the target at 100 along with LCD screens at the benches to view the images from the cameras.
I haven't been there but I plan to go in the next week or two. I've never shot at that distance indoors and I'm not a competitive benchrest shooter. I just like to occasionally punch holes in paper. Like any range, it might be great and it might be awful, depending on the design decisions that were made.
I've read (on this board and elsewhere) about shooting in tunnels but this is different. There may be as many as 6 shooters, side by side, shooting down (essentially) a long hallway. I imagine the experience will be different from a purpose-built, one-rifle-at-a-time testing tunnel but I certainly don't have the experience to say that's certain to be the case.
For those of you with experience shooting indoors - what do you look for in a 100-yard indoor range? Are there any "gotchas" or common design errors that plague such facilities? Anything weird about shooting centerfire rifles indoors?
TIA for any insights.
