Damn! I go away for a week and the board springs to life! :)
What's a range? Oh yeah, one of things I used to go to on a fairly frequent basis. I used to head up to a National Forest range about every three to four weeks...only 15 minutes from the house, free to use, very nice with 18 lanes all out 100 meters, 12 with concrete, benches and a roof, the other six were grass. Now that I've moved (about three years ago) there's another National Forest range, same distance, same cost, but much smaller (six lanes; two to 100 yards, four to 25 yards, all have benches, no concrete/roof) but I almost never use it. Nowadays I ride out to friend's house about 20 minutes down the road. He's got 90 acres, reaching out to 400 yards. I can load and shoot from off the tailgate of my truck. Even better, he keeps a gas grill down there and has a shed for when it rains too hard. There is also a pair of trebuchets (I wonder if Top ever trained with those...) We shoot the third Saturday of every month religiously, and I ALWAYS bring a Mauser or two with me.
