I usely don't shoot at a paid rifle range because I live in the country. I have a shooting bench in my garage, when I open my garage door I've a 100 yd. range set up. There is a new range that opened up in my area & I thought I'd check it out. Last time I went to a range (10-15 years ago) payment was by the day ($6.00 or $7.00) I was shell skock when finished my shoot at the new range $16.00 @ 2hr. ($8.00 a hr.) I'm I behine times or is this place real proud of there range?

I went to the range last weekend, cost was $10/day, no time limit. Seems fairly typical for my area.

I wish we had a public range to go to around here but we don't. Lucky I live on the side of a mountain and my whole back yard is one BIG range!

 

[Kainam]

Forgot to mention, that $10/day is for any number of shooters in a particular group.

I grew up in a rural area where my back yard was my range.... I miss that.

 

[magikbullet]

My range has an archery area, 25/50/100 yards setups, covered benchs, trap range, and a bar with 1$ 22oz yuenglings for $25 per YEAR!

;D ;D ;D

Magik,

[magikbullet]

That's pretty cool to be able to shoot on your own property! It would be nice not to have to drive out to one each time to shoot, my range is $250 year but it's the ammo cost that is the killer.

BTW my ideal home is one that backs up to the beach with a golf course on one side and a shooting range on the other.

 

[Aussie Arms]

I don't know about the Golf Course thing, I could never manage to get that little ball in that little hole that is so far away. I would rather shoot the darn golf balls. They are fun! they have a tendancy to explode into a mass of rubber string! Way Cool.

When ever I shoot golf balls 9mm 40sw just leave black smudges and 223 puts a little hole in it, mine never explode, I wonder what Im doing wrong...

 

[TEXAS SOLFTAIL]

Don't think I will be going back to that range. My neighbors will have to put up with me, they live about half a mile from me.

 

[Juicespeare1]

I shoot a lot at Bass Pro Shops now as my old range shut down due to the owners selling out to developers.

Anyhow, Bass Pro Shops charges $8 per hour per person on the indoor pistol range. No reservations on the pistol range, first come, first serve.

The single rifle tube is $9 per hour per person and requires a reservation. 100 yard tube runs under the entire length of the store and part of the parking lot.

 

[TEXAS SOLFTAIL]

That would be a great place to go on a rainy day.

 

[SWEEP]

well our choices are 150 membership with $5 (free if you are a range officer ) a day charge no rapid fire . ...or $15 a hr for a full auto lane up to 50bmg at the local indoor range with ammo that gets expense real quick .
