anyway about cowtown range, anyone have a membership that can give feedback. im interested but would like to hear from others and check it out before shelling out 420 bucks.

It's a great facility for matches, with the worst management I've seen.
I'd stay away.

I shoot Wednesday night steel every other week. I wouldn’t pay for a member ship there personally

Depends on what you are looking for. If it's the only place I could shoot long range without jumping through a lot of hoops then yah i would shell out the money.

anyway to use occasionally with out the membership ?

How far do you want to shoot? You can shoot steel or paper 300 yds at BA a couple times a month for $12..

I'm a member and I think it's worth the fee. I spend a couple hours a week in the East Bays for pistols and hit the West Canyon once a month or so for steel out to about 1100yds. The management is using a new online app for reservations. They really used to struggle with scheduling 8-9 months ago, but it's better now.

Where do I find the info on the 300-yard days at Ben Avery? For the Wednesday night steel events at Cowtown do you need a membership?

That range is directly west of the DPS range. Unfortunately the shooting positions aren't covered yet, so get out there early.

Great, thanks for the link! Any restrictions on what calibers you can shoot?

Was this before, or after Glen left?

After.
Glen did a good job with what he could. The owners and current Range Master just leave me shaking my head.
They essentially drove off AZ 2 gun, and the final straw for me is when my wife was there at a CCW course and they all got kicked off the range due to some issue the RM had.

Who was the RM?

Who was the RM?

I belive it was Rob Orgel at that time. I wasn't at that class, so don't take it as gospel.

From looking at the link posted, it looks like they've changed range master again?

re: "Orgel" - that sounds about right for that transition period.
