500 a year? Wow...

At 15/hr one would need to go to the range for 33.3 hours in one year to break even.

woohoo. i like 20 mins away... im in... I like american shooting center but 25 yards only on a rifle is

looking further at the founding membership, with having a family of 5 this may pay off in just a couple of years. ill have to check and see if this extends to sister, brother in law, uncle, nephew and the such. if it did, I would strongly consider it.

I sure was excited when I saw this thread, becuase I live in PQ...then I saw the prices! Jeezzzzzz

The market will be the last word - best of luck to them! I at least look forward to it taking the heat of the other ranges...

PQ for liiiiiife

I think they're scheduled to open spring 2014. but those member prices are hard to swallow. It took me awhile to buy a membership at DGM, but you "break even" going twice a month, which is reasonable and figured that would be easy to get my monies worth. I suppose front of the line priveledge is nice, but not at those prices. and as a nonmember I could understand reservations, but think I'd get annoyed with someone "cutting" in line because they're a member. I'm sure ill end up going once in a blue moon to shoot somewhere nearby when I want to shoot pass 25 yards, but other than that based on what I'm seeing ill probably renew my membership at DGM although I was thinking I would've bought a membership here once mine expired.

edit: looking at the platinum: at least family members would be free. but I suppose this would depend on what they define as family. if they mean household family members, or all/any family members.

I drove past the site yesterday.....it's still an empty lot. I hope it gets built quickly and opens.

All,

Of course we will have public lane rates. Since we will have 3 different ranges (a 25 yard, 50 yard and 100 yard) the lane rates will vary slightly. As of now we are looking at $15 an hour for the 25. $16 for the 50 and 100. The benefit for the memberships is you get front of the line priveldges and reservations!

We look forward to you all checking us out as we continue to build the range at www.weaponsandgearrange.com

Poway or not, that is spendy. This is not La Jolla or Beverly Hills. I am looking forward to seeing their daily use rates.

I was in the shop today and asked. $16/hr is what I was told.

[BajaJames83]

Just the building alone will be over $5mil not to include probably $400k in hvac. Then bullet traps which are $1200 ish a linear foot....
Someone has to put up some serious coin for a facility of this magnitude

[pc_load_letter]

I think I'll stick to DGM in Santee with those prices. One thing they have going for them is the 50 yd. and 100 yd. range, but that's why I go to SBR&G.

P2k just added a couple more 50 yard lanes (total of 4). They had only two and added two more by taking from the 100 yard lanes. Still have 6 100 yard lanes.

They need to add more pistol lanes. Sat and Sunday there is 30 minute wait 1 hour after opening.

You don't understand. It's a "Dynamic Range Class." This is training.

Then you can sit back and moan about how boring it is when you can't run around, do tactical rolls etc etc etc like a true Operator.

I think I'll stick with shooting USPSA. Its a lot cheaper, even though I still don't get to do tactical rolls...... Although paying $5000 to get my name on the "Founders Wall" is tempting.

^^^Lol. They'll take your $5K for a membership and then you'll get killed while you're wandering around the office spaces.

In any case, I can't see the web page at work, are the daily non-member rates posted yet?

Ultimately, I wish I had that kind of coin...

[joker70]

The office space is behind the backstop???
