A year and a half or so ago they installed a more efficient system. Still, if you go one a weekend when six or more lanes are active you'll notice the smoke more. It's the only range I've ever belonged to so I can't say how it compares really. I go early mornings on week days mostly and there's no issue as far as I'm concerned when there's four/five lanes going. Quite often members will stand around and chat about their guns/ammo/ etc. Generally too, if you get there and there's too many people on the line you can just wait in the lounge area until someone leaves. It usually doesn't take long. Look at the log book and if people have been there an hour it's likely someone will be leaving soon.
You might check with the club and see if they do an orientation without you having to pay first? They've changed since Wifey and I joined six/seven years ago. Back then they were a one on one orientation. Now they do group orientation.
