How so? the 'range itself is set up with..as you are looking downrange the pistol section on the right. the 50 yard section on the left and the 100 yard section in the middle. Yeah it is a bit strange, but the RO is in the middle of the layout so he can watch if anyone is downrange at the 100 yard targets before he turns off the red light and allows folks to shoot again. I hadn't really thought about the layout much until you mentioned it, but I suspect that is the reason for the way it is laid out. Also off to the FAR left outside the structure is the trap shooting area. The have several of the big wheeled garden carts as well as a game cart or two to help you ferry your sh!t to and from your car. I like the idea that the area is covered so if it rains like it did last weekend you aren't out in the mud the whole time. Also if the sun is beating down on you all the time it makes for a long and tiring day. The one drawback I noticed about being in the covered area is that the sound of the guns is amplified a bit and seems much louder than when you are out in the open.
I promise I don't bite. that mikea on the otherhand...I would be careful around him.....
AS for the back and hip, while the standing won't KILL me I do like to sit down and relax occasionally. There were both benches to sit at as well as picnic tables that were sheltered there.
