Anythings better than what you are dealing with now, you could go through a lot of ammo in 1/2 hr.
One shot at a time ranges.

Lol 50.00 for six months not that bad, here we pay 250.00 a year.

I drive 76 miles round-trip and pay $9 per hour, plus targets! I do get to use my own ammo as long as it's not steel!

Yes, but 50.00 for less than 2 months is a bit much I think. I'll only be in this town until Aug 10. I'd have to go a lot in those 48 days to get my moneys worth.

From what I've seen in my area those are reasonable rates. While there is some variation, the clean and well run ranges in the Metro Detroit area generally charge 16-19 dollars per hour. Most of them will also insist that you shoot a quality brand of ammo, such as Federal Champion. However, I have yet to have one require that I purchase my ammo from the range, just ask to see what I'm shooting. As for why they do this, HEPA filters are NOT cheap and filthy shooting ammo plugs up the filters a lot faster than cleaner shooting brands.

DNR. I think it stands for Do Nothing Right. They can come up with some stupid really off the wall **** at times.
Maybe in Michigan. Here I have my pick of several that are 10-15 for unlimited time, no silly restrictions on how many rounds in the cylinder/magazine, allow fast shooting as long as you are being safe and let you use your own ammo and targets.
I guess I shouldnt take it for granted that we have it so good here. I feel sorry for you which have such draconian gun ranges and laws

State run range near here.
$3 to shoot.
Wait 3 seconds between shots.
I missed the sign, warning the 1st time, then you leave.
bang.....1001..1002.. 1003.....bang
This is how the range master explained it.
Again, This is stupid, no one on this earth could make me think otherwise, no matter what the reason.
I think the poll should have been more like, OK with me or Stupid & Dumb

It's not all that Dracoinian, one local range allows me to do unlimited rapid fire shooting when the range is lightly populated. However if I go in when every lane is full and lots of them new shooters they do limit firing to 1 round per second. The simple fact is that a lot of 20 or 30 year olds will try to match or copy a more proficient shooters firing rate before they are ready and that is not safe. Because of this the rules do change depending on who is using the range and I accept that. Having seen some of the range stories on the net I'd rather be safe than shooting at some "free for all". I'll also point out that the ranges I shoot at are all indoor ranges with clean HEPA filtered conditioned air. At that 15 dollar per day rate that you are quoting I'll just bet you are shooting at an outdoor range, something I doubt you spend all day doing at the height of a Tampa Summer day.

Wow! My range is $100 for the year which includes all of my immediate family and I can bring guests. Aside from all the outdoor lanes, we have indoor archery and pistol ranges which I can use 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. I bring everything and take it all with me. If someone leaves brass in the bucket, I can take it.
I think this is too much worry on your part. In two months you will wear out your fingers before you wear out your gun.
2 months...just take a break and find a better spot after you leave.

You're not thinking this out. If you go to the $15/hr range and do 3.5 hours of shooting, you've spent more than the $50. If they would cut you a special 2 month deal, do it, but, if they won't, still do it.

BUT I want to know where this $100 per year place is..It might be worth me moving. Are there jobs there?
I want to know where "Location Location is located? I'll join. Here in NE Ohio it's about $250 per person annually. . I have a family membership for $425. It includes all immediate family and they never charge for friends we bring. Membership includes 10% off range ammo if you buy it. You only have to use range ammo if you rent a gun. Also FFL fee is $20 instead of $45 and you get to order 1 gun per year at dealer cost.We can bring our own targets and ammo. AND we can shoot all but rapid fire.. unless there is no one else around. Then the owners don't care.

New members only $80/year here in Kalamazoo. new member senior year is $50/yr. New member half year is $55. new member senior half year $40. So I guess not that bad then if I were to be here longer.
