Delaware Wildlife Area Public Shooting Range — Local services in Marlboro Township

I was only able to go a few times and have already been put off of this place. Location is great, pretty country spot, the range itself is nice. The first time I went I liked it and bought an annual pass (I regret this now). The next time I went I was commanded upon check in that I needed to check out before I left. I thought this was odd as I've never been to a range that has done that unless you rented something from them. But sure, their place their rules. So I checked out and was taken aback when they demanded to know how many rounds I had fired. I'm still very much a novice and don't even count rounds so I had no idea how to answer. The young woman working the desk snapped at me saying "Just estimate or make something up then!" The following time I went back, when I checked in they didn't say anything about needing to checkout. So I figured ok maybe that was something they just tried briefly and went back to how it was the first time. So I left without checking out, everything was fine. Then I went today and upon check in the woman working the desk proceeds to tell me that I didn't check out last time (around 4-5 months prior). I was very taken aback and didn't even know what to say, so I was like "Oh ok, I guess I didn't, I don't really remember." but didn't know how to bring up no one told me last time to check out, as this woman was pretty aggressive and accusatory about it. She basically told me it was very very important that I check out and tell them how many rounds I fire but that they didn't need to know the caliber. She never mentioned WHY they need this information so badly? I find it unusual especially having been to other ranges where they didn't care. Also unsure of who else they might be sharing this information with? Also as others have mentioned I have never seen an actual RSO. I don't know if the people in the office count as RSOs but I've never seen them leave the office. I wouldn't be surprised to find sleeping bags and a refrigerator in there as I think they may be living in there to save on rent. Which that's fair times are tough right now. Anyway I was overall disappointed because I have to drive 45 min each way to go to this place and it's a decent range but the staff have ruined it for me. There's no reason to be that rude to paying customers who just want to do their thing and leave. But luckily they have plenty of competitors I can take my business to and I encourage everyone else to...

Updated Review (04/30/24) If the staff are being paid, please give them something to do. Specifically, the chubby one with glasses who walks around and reminds everyone "one shot at a time". I know he's just trying to keep everyone safe, since he know's that the gun will explode and kill everyone if it's doubletapped, but I do find it funny that some people he says it to, some people he doesn't. If you don't "look" the part, here he comes, marching over because has nothing else going on. But, if you tower over him with a real beard, he's nowhere to be found and you can shoot as fast as you want. That guy, specially, needs a broom, especially if he's not volunteering his time. If this place receives public funding, his contribution is a disgrace to every hardworking taxpayer. Please, give him something to do that actually makes a difference and keeps...

This is a public shooting range. I think as far as outdoor ranges go, it's pretty well kept. They provide target stands for paper targets. The seats and benchs are well kept but nothing fancy. You need to provide everything else. I didn't notice that they sell anything. The staff are very friendly. I will say I am very uncomfortable with random people walking around with unboxed firearms from their vehicles. They tell you that it must be unboxed on the lane only, but people were walking up to the check-in window with firearms in hand, usually pointed forward as they walked. Very unsafe. Seems like an accident waiting to happen. Goes against the key rules of gun safety. I would rank it higher if they enforced gun...
