I know this could possibly belong in the General section with the other shooting range threads, but it is specific to the gunsmith school I went to last weekend and I thought you fellas might enjoy seeing a picture or two of the test range that is on campus, just about 60-75 yards downhill from the classrooms.
It's a nice 100-yd range and they are doubling its width if the rain ever stops long enough to finish clearing and grading the land.
I learned a lot about the school - Montgomery Community College. The two-year gunsmith program is the largest program at the school, both by revenue and by student count. The school is 50 years old and the gunsmithing program is 47 years old.
They have a lot of equipment. Rooms full of lathes, mills, finishing booths, heat treating ovens, etc. And lots of rooms for bench metal work. Equipment doesn't necessarily lead to a good program, but it's a good sign.
I took a 2-day reloading program - mainly as a way to check out the facility and faculty before getting into the longer classes. I really liked it.
Annie and I will be attending a 5-day basic gunsmithing class together in April, then I will go back for two more 4-day to 5-day classes in May.
I'll be attending a few at the Oklahoma school in June. I'm just taking beginner/basic/intro-type classes, but there are numerous classes for more advanced gun enthusiasts.
