If the gun control measures are enacted, how do you think shooting ranges, both indoor and outdoor, will be impacted.

They are about regulated out of business now if not for NRA funds we would not have what we do now. You would think ranges would please the idiots in charge in many ways.

You guys don’t have public shooting ranges? Out here every town builds one for public use

I’ve never shot at an indoor range but from what i hear they’re already on there way out of business because they can’t get any ammunition for customers to shoot.

I have a private x public range. Always clean, people like it because I provide a setting for them to shoot in peace.

Yes'sir...That's the way it's been here at the family farm for years...Pretty much a community range, and people have
been thankful, and respectful of the opportunity to have a place to shoot.

Great place to catch up and visit too.

Everybody wins.

That's nice!

It wouldn't even have to be a monetary donation... People would just have to police up their brass and leave it for me. LOL

Did you you ever have any problems with people and, if so, how do you handle it?

Someone, somewhere will find a way to cater to customers. There are simply too many gun owners that need a place. If they try to regulate them out of business, then gun ranges will become an expensive activity, but someone will always offer them.



I was at a workshop next to a shooting range on the Saturday after the election when they said Biden would be getting it. It sounded like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan in the background. Apparently they’d found enough ammo to spare.


330, that’s a great idea. I may need to look into such a thing one day.

I have offered a low key location for people to shoot since 1998 and in all of these years I've had only Friends, relatives and former wal fart customers . No problems xcept a couple groups didn't pick up their paper targets and left Brass laying around.

I have Brass and trash buckets at the 100 bench and up by the berm.

Its a fun place to have! Good memories of Gun ranges with my Dad growing up.
