Absolutely, St John's Military Academy, 1965-69. It had an excellent underground/indoor range. We had a small bore rifle team, issue weapon was Anschutz, but I used my Winchester 52 and generally outshot the other guys. My 52 was made in 1939, and was my uncle's gun, also on the SJMA rifle team. He used it when he won the 1943 National Championship, along with the Team National Championship. That rifle is one of my most treasured possessions. The range is still there, and still in use, although I believe a switch to air rifles was made due to EPA concerns over the ventilation system. I returned in 2009 (could 40 years have passed so quickly?) and did shoot an air rifle on the range, it was quite nostalgic. Wish I could have used the 52.
