A set of wisdom teeth are worth like 30 days at the range. C'mon man!

Hence my “ for the average shooter” edit. And it is high. I still think paying $30 for a range orientation will be a deal killer for 95% of the average shooting public. For guys like you and younggun, a place to stretch out your shooting to a mile, not so much.Have you compared it to other ranges that go out to a mile?
The hourly price isn't bad unless you shoot often. Getting a membership helps.
It is worth shopping around a bit if you shoot a lot though. I won't mention the name but the other close one is really going to make you gasp when you see the price for the first time you shoot.
These super long ranges have a hard time competing with the normal 100 yard ranges on price but if you want to shoot far you're going to have to pay.
While I tend to agree with you, remember the clowns and bozos are the vast majority of the shooting public. I hope this business model works well for them, and got the .01% of actual long range shooters, it seems like a great place.Excellent. I would be happy if “the average shooting public” took their circus to another town. Most public ranges should play calliope music and operate under a big top. These guys are legit and the facilities are top notch.
The safety and orientation is a 7 minute, recorded narrated power point brief.So, is your orientation a video, or is it given by someone affiliated with your insurance company? How long is it.
$110 to shoot on the first day ( if you pay for 4 hours) seems a little on the high side for the average shooter.
That picture is from a private event with one of our client organizations, and is not at all representative of the crowd during our business hours. We've only been open for a couple months so I can't tell you with certainty what a normal Sat/Sun looks like but we have not even come close to an overcrowding situation. Our long range has 15 bench rests, our pistol range has room for 10 shooters comfortably, and we have 34 tactical bays that can accommodate large groups or individuals. Our ultra-long range has 10 bench rests.Looks like my kind of place except to crowded is the picture representative of how busy you are? If I drive out there on any given Sat/Sun how likely is it that I will have to wait for a pit?

If you buy a family membership every member of your household including kids in college are included. Anyone shooting is charged an hourly rate; $5 per hour for active duty military/law enforcement, $10 per hour for members, $20 per hour for non-membersAlso if I become a member what is your policy for guests of members?

I don't know what that means.@peakshooter, do you have your wisdom teeth?
I'd like to be a sponsor soon too. I sent an email requesting the details on how to arrange that and I have not heard anything back.Howdy.
Yep, it's really tough asking for a DD214 (like Lowe's et, al) and keeping a record of it in a POS device in the digital age.
In light of those having served with the goal of preserving your right to run your business as you see fit, good thing they didn't consider that too "difficult", eh?
Not ringing your bell, just calling a BS excuse, IMHO, for what it is.
Hope to see to you as a Sponsor soon ...

Thank you for your answer. I have shot at ranges in most of the lower 48 and even the “ upper crust” type facilities do not charge a separate fee to watch a video, have a live employee , or do an online orientation/range waiver.The safety and orientation is a 7 minute, recorded narrated power point brief.
We have put a lot of thought into the pricing scale and believe we have settled on something affordable for people who are serious about shooting and appreciate our facility. That said, we have only been open for a couple months and as we learn more pricing may change.
A great deal of our pricing decision came from looking at other ranges in the area. Compared to what we offer our prices are very competitive.
If you come out I think you'll agree our facility is unique and worth the price.
If you need them removed then he is the guy to go to.I don't know what that means.
I sincerely appreciate the feedback. We may end up making changes as we learn more about the market. Our range is still pretty new.Good on you ... like I said, wasn't ragging on you, just saying that, and as other mentioned in this thread, a Veterans designation on a TDL or LTC is no less legitimate, or verifiable in difficulty, than an active duty ID with regard to honoring.
And, it's good advertising ...
Looking forward to your participation.
Same price for private tactical bay?If you buy a family membership every member of your household including kids in college are included. Anyone shooting is charged an hourly rate; $5 per hour for active duty military/law enforcement, $10 per hour for members, $20 per hour for non-members
Yes, the rates are flat and apply to all the ranges. Once you've paid and you're on the range you can move from one range to another as you like.Same price for private tactical bay?
