Question 1

Robert Genovese · Accepted Answer

Question 2

can i use my own 5.56  ammo or do i have to buy rang ammo? I have been here before but never shoot here with my AR.

Dillon Desloge · Accepted Answer

No steel core, tracers, or AP. Steel case IIRC is allowed, just not steel core.

stig x · Answer

Depends on who's officiating the range, I've shot steel case, fmj, and others, then not allowed to shoot same rounds other times. The "magnet test" doesn't really work on steel case as the majority of the round attracts the magnet. They do push their rounds pretty hard after they refuse the ones you brought. Otherwise a great range and gun store.

Jake Wise · Answer

Yes, just make sure it's not steel core. Use a magnet to check.

Nothing Fancy Just Us · Answer

Yes, you can shoot 5.56 as long as it has no steel casings, or steel bullet/ bullet cores.

Tim Unknown · Answer

They are cheap and very helpful. Steel ammo sucks anyway

Question 9

What personal info do I need to provide

The Range - St. Louis West · Accepted Answer

To purchase a handgun must must be 21 and have a valid Missouri ID. For a rifle or shotgun, you have to be 18 or older with the Missouri ID. Residents of other states can purchase firearms but it will be sent to a FFL dealer in their state. State and local laws will be applied for sales to residents from other states (the destination FFL would do that anyways).

Shooting range: For handguns, you must be 21. For long guns, 18. Foreigners with valid IDs can use the shooting range but the age requirements are the same.

Anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be prohibited from using the range.

Bob E · Answer

Citizen over 21, uses no drugs
