I’ve recently gotten involved with guns in general. I have a couple of handguns, and just purchased a Springfield Armory M1A Scout Quad battle rifle. I added a scope and was looking for places to go shoot it when I did this research.

My program is as follow:
For the handguns, I will go by myself or with a buddy. My kids are too young for shooting a handgun at this time. I want to be able to do rapid fire drills, and basically looking to practice drawing from a holster and shoot lots of bullets.
For the rifle, I would like to be able to either sit at a bench for experimenting with the sights, but one the optic is sighted, I would like to be able to prone to make it a realistic shooting scenario. I also would like to be able to go there with my kids to shoot a 22LR.
In addition, I would really like to go shoot outdoors, especially if it involves a hike. If anyone has any location that they can share, it would be appreciated. You can email direct boardhead360 at gmail
Update 3/20/17:
I visited ENC last weekend. Very friendly place. They took the time to cover all the rules one on one. I signed up for a yearly membership that allows me go there for the day for $10, and to bring a friend for $15. Definitely very good value. No ammo. Recommend bringing your own targets. I also found a Remington model 597 for my son, and we will go test as soon as possible.
