Indoor shooting club

How much would you pay for a membership in an indoor shooting club? Yearly.

I pay $100 for an outdoor range a year. Has 120 acres. Have no idea for an indoor range.

How much would you pay for a membership.

I wouldn't. EPCC indoor range is cheap and tracks by the visit. So don't have to worry about getting my money's worth out of a membership. Go when I want & can get a visit into my schedule.

Hard to say as I don't really like indoor ranges. I really only use them for rainy days... I'm curious tho, what do you have in the works?

A Very good point, If you need to drive 40 miles to an outdoor range - the indoor "closer" range is my choice and AC is nice !!

I have some friends that are interested setting up such a place on the Westside of town. Its because so many people are fed up with the wind, sun, flys, heat, cold, not having equipment or forgetting equipment ect.....remember that most people that have firearms are just casual shooters. Most of us here on the boards have a more energetic attraction to shooting. For the casual shooter its easier to take the wife and kids to an indoor where all the have to do is show up and everything is provided. They can sit at tables and eat or what ever. Even most of us that shoot outside dont have our own tables and portable shade when we go to the desert. So.... long story short there is a distinct possiblity of an indoor place on the westside, but it could take at least a yr to set up.

NRA is having a seminar on that subject in the next month in I think Austin.

Indoor, i'd say maybe $150-$175 to have the comfort of climate control and no wind factor when developing loads. But that all really depends on how it's set up. If it's well run/maintained/managed, well lit and remains at a solid temperature each visit, $175.
I'm way too picky about indoor ranges. If i'm going to be shooting to get exact data it's best that all factors remain constant. Including a control on pesky rapid fire nuts. Maybe have a few lanes set aside for the ones that just want to pepper the target with shrapnel.

Only indoor range I have enough experience with charges $50 month for unlimited use, except, if people are waiting to shoot, you must leave after your hour is up, otherwise stay
as long as you wish......but they only have 8 lanes which generally means on weekends you don't get much more than an hour per visit.

If I shot at an indoor range, it would only be as needed. There is a lot of lead in the air, and it ends up in the bloodstream. I am s ure that filters could alleviate the problem, but none of the indoor ranges that I have been to make any great effort to reduce it.

I would probably not join unless required, and only use it if needed. Of course it depends on your local climate and facilities. If it had associated meeting facilities, for folks to "hang-out" I would probably be more inclined to join.
