$25 dollars to shoot at an indoor range? Is that pesos or American money?

[BigFatGuy]

When was the last time you shot at an indoor range? Based on responses, $20-$25 seems to be the going rate for LA/OC area.

it's amazing how being a member insulates you from that kind of thing.

I was an FT3 member from before they opened their doors, and when I decided to drop that membership (the cost of a 2-person membership got upwards of $800/year IIRC) I stopped going.

To this day, I only know what they charge by-the-visit because someone else here mentioned it. :-)

So no attempt should be made to separate out morons and ensure people shooting rifles in close quarters are up to the task? Apparently you learned NOTHING in the military about weapons safety and training. Have fun with the aholes who run FT3... yes I have shot there and watched their excellent people skills at work... but I guess that is what is required when you let anybody come to shoot anything

you are part of the 70% of guys on gun forums. you have NEVER done anything wrong in your life or made a mistake, every gun you own shoots 1/4 inch and you only paid 10% of what the gun is worth when you bought it you know everything about shooting and reloading that can ever be learned. egomania at its best. as far as gun safety and the military a lot of people shot training handling guns shooting guys in front of them etc. Col Hackworth wanted the 1911 taken out of service cause of all the guys that shot others and shot themselves and that is only one minor weapon in a giant arsenal

I am guessing you never served and assume you think you know what military weapons/safety training is. (I could be wrong, but just my thought of your assessment)

I served 30 years ago; NROTC during my undergraduate years and in the USNR for a few years on graduation. I have been training with small arms for twenty years under an instructor who is both a former marine who served as a weapons instructor in SOCMAU as well as having graduating the Army Ranger course.

In the military (when I served 20 years ago), everything was pretty much hands-on. Meaning the training and safety lessons were done on the range. You know that run down on range rules you get when you go to a range as first time? Yea pretty much that. I have yet to see soldier shooting wildly during field time, or range, or in combat during my service. And have yet to see a person aiming and shooting toward the ground or ceiling at a indoor range.

Fortunate. I do not think the "shooting wildly at the ceiling" is common either but the ND's into the ceiling are very common (just look at the ceiling...lol) and the result of untrained morons. I doubt the ceiling has the same ballistic resistance as the backstop and rifle rounds create added issues to mitigate.

experience to one can vary as much as any other ranges. I have a good time there and never have I seen another shooter shoot wildly with their weapons. You might not have. OC indoor range as well, had good time there + they let you shoot shotguns with your own shells, but no rifles (unless the range isn't busy and you're a trusted patron by one of the managers or LE)

I was referring to an overbearing / consenting attitude I observed on the part of several FT3 RO's but that was on only three visits and it was several years ago. Business and times change.

Thanks for putting me in my place so concisely... (not to mention the incoherent message and lack of grammar but you are certainly on top of your game I am sure. )

[Dano3467]

Yeah, I can sympathize ysr

My favorite range has raised prices substantially two times in the last two yrs, the last one was the last straw.

Walked in, seen the new $$, & said were leaving.

Will not return, as the people who opened it are never there, just new people all the time. So yeah, I know, gotta pay um, but I don't have to go, or pay them.

There is a limit, & that has been exceeded.

[Marauder2003]

$20 as long as I want. And they say they offer a free gun cleaning. I have a feeling they just drop it into an ultrasonic tank full of Hoppes.

Oh, this is in Vegas.

[Joefear7]

$17 at Riverside Indoor Shooting Range and you can shoot as long as you want.

[DevilDawgJJ]

Smokin barrel in Simi valley is $20/hr. Pricy, but that is the only indoor range I would ever visit. State of the art equipments, rated up to 50cal, good RSOs, and good air purification.

25 bucks seems OUT-FRIGGIN-RAGEOUS.

What are you guys paying to shoot at an indoor range?

$15

[pancakes go]

$7 all day at ben avery shooting complex outside of phoenix

[BigFatGuy]

I've never understood why Hollow Points are a problem for ranges... they are less armor-penetrating... what's the issue?

[crufflers]

Shooting is not cheap though. With a $15 range fee and one target... my ammo cost... $60-$100 is pretty typical cost when I go alone. That is cheap ammo I bring with me.

Supposedly some people have a wild belief that HP might fragment and ricochet more...

I went to an indoor range today in Laguna Nigel (ca) to do the paperwork on a ppt. They said I could shoot the gun before my ten days, but obviously couldn't leave with it.

I asked them how much, and they said $25 !! I replied, is that pesos or American money? They were not amused.

I lived in Laguna Niguel in the '70s. Hasn't it always been an expensive neighborhood?

[waveslayer]

You mean good old On Target... only 2 or 3 guys in there a great guys. All the rest are super TactiCool... waste of money there for sure!

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns
