Just made a visit to Take Aim and it is very nice just like all have stated. I hope they do well, there is certainly enough business in the area to support two ranges. Didn't get a chance to shoot today but will try to make it by the end of the week and give it a try.

Only issue I had is no drawing from a holster except during "designated times". The staffer who gave me the tour was not sure when that would be.

Im getting a chuckle out of the comparisons to The Bullet Hole. Its not quite fair to compare a shiny new penny to one that has been in public circulation for nearly two decades (traps, partitions, baffles..etc.) Just wait until your below average, untrained and incompetent shooters are stacked up at the door, everything but the target is going to have a hole in it eventually. I know cable target systems are a PITA, but when they are shot down, fixing them is an easy and inexpensive job. Im curious to see how Take Aims rail system will hold up to getting shot by the idiots who will eventually show up, especially by the high power rifles.

Actually, this trip was made in Recon Mode, consequently I purposely took nothing along with which to shoot.   Scan first; shoot later.   Wanted to meet the folks, check it out, see Wot's Up, all that.

FWIW:

Fair Point.
However, a bit of improvised (or even permanent) baffling on Lane #12 to redirect the air flow would fix or mitigate the Madly Dancing Target problem with which CHP qualifiers have had to contend.   The MDT places additional pressure on folks who are already somewhat stressed by the CHP range qualification process.

Summary:
We're fortunate to now have two indoor ranges in Eastern Nebraska to accommodate all the potential new users who have acquired handguns in the past year or so.   Let's support them both.

I've made several trip to Take Aim already and have thoroughly enjoyed every experience.  Granted, comparing a brand new facility to the well worn Bullet Hole facility has to be considered, but the key difference is customer service.

It's clear the folks at Take Aim have trained their staff to focus on customers.  You are greeted when you walk through the door and immediately engaged by the staff.  Often times at the Bullet Hole it seems like you need to pound on the counter to get one of the employees attention.  I've stood there for several minutes while the kids behind the counter find other things to do -- talking to each other, adjusting guns in the case, or just avoiding eye contact. 

I suspect the opening of the Take Aim range may force the Bullet Hole to step up their game a bit.  For me, it probably doesn't matter since I would have to pass Take Aim if I wanted to shoot at the BH.  I don't see that happening.
