Nearby food. Be polite to the other shooters and please either pack a lunch or plan to purchase lunch from the range owners for $5. This is a gracious extension of friendship and kindness on the range owners behalf, and it greatly cuts down on time away from the instruction. Please do not plan on leaving for lunch as it holds up valuable instruction time and we will teach during lunch.
Nearby food outlets are available in Camilla in case you don't heed the sound advice above.
