I have taken my dad there twice and after the abrupt, rude and borderline abuse for a simple question from my dad. I can honestly say they aint worth the time and with all of their made up rules i would honestly recommend that everyone stay away from the joint.
Im not one to complain and for the most part I dont, but they have a name for being tools and can honestly say the shoe fits them well.
Jeez mate, that sounds a bit ruff. (Fudd.? Lol)
What did he ask them.?
Was just asking about the sec 93 form just a simple yes or no question. Dad was being polite and rather than been greeted with a yes mate or a simple yes, eyes are rolled droped sholders quietly mutters f/#$ sake and snatches the form off him.
I understand that people have crap days and so on but seriously we were there to have a good time just like everyone else. I love target shooting and on occasion ill take a friend or dad will tag along.
I can honestly say that something needs to change out at belmont they have a great range with great facilities. However the staff there not the range officers are seriously the biggest let down.
Ripley on the other hand couldn't be a better place to shoot I know most of the staff, all will have a chat with you and are approachable and most of them even know me by name and will ask for what ive been up to or any luck with hunting trips.
My local pistol club couldn't be any more helpfull and are always welcoming even with unlicensed shooters.
Its fair to say i love the place but my dealings with the front counter have been horid and whilst it has been almost 18 months since ive been out there I can't say its the first place that i think of for for even a lazy afternoon shoot.
