Point Blank Range/Home

Situated between a selection of fast food joints and with a gas station opposite, the firing range is in a good place commercially, with a parking area around back large enough for ten cars. Above the main entrance, the company logo and name announces the location, a doorway leading into an airlock style system to keep undesirables out; entering one door requires the other to be closed and for the receptionist inside to buzz you in.

Once inside, the entrance area looks like most offices in the neighborhood, with cream color carpets and white walls, some of the paint starting to flake in places. It is, however, kept clean and presentable, with potted plants dotted around to add some color. A few tables and chairs are gathered nearby, as well as a small sofa and comfy chair, with a row of vending machines along one wall for snacks and drinks. On another wall a large wide-screen TV shows the interior of the firing range, allowing people to watch those already inside.

Off the main area, multiple doors allow access to the classroom, storage, offices and public bathrooms, with a few marked as 'Staff Only'. A long desk, with a member of staff behind, allows for registration and equipment hire. All the equipment is on display, though the weapons are samples; the actual hire weapons are kept in secure drawers beneath. Once registered, the staff member opens the door and allows access to the firing lanes.

The area has a light amount of security staff, all with holstered pistols and kevlar protection, who ensure people are sensible and play by the rules.

Firing Lanes:

The firing lanes are state of the art, air conditioned, with bulletproof glass divides, adjustable targets and comfortable firing points, with shelving for placing additional weapons or clips. Though there are only six lanes allowing six shooters, one other friend or colleague is allowed to join, especially during group sessions, allowing people to take turns.
