Outdoor > Indoor ranges

Can shoot what I want when I want other then green tips. Steel case ammo is allowed. Easy enough to back my truck up to unload whatever I’m shooting at the time. Its a membership but I believe you can also pay per visit.

The indoor range near me gotta buy their ammo to use, brass only, can only shoot certain weapon types on certain days, and those assholes are to nosey sometimes. I noticed more new shooters go there.

The couple of indoor ranges I go to out here really only have a few rules: No armor piercing/incendiary rounds (which, oddly, includes Wolf steel case, something about the bullet being bi-metal), nothing over .308 for rifles and I think .44 Mag is the biggest they'll allow for pistols, and shotties have to be slugs only.

Only one range I've ever been to forced you to use their ammo also forced you to rent guns there as well: The Gun Store on Tropicana in Las Vegas. It was originally that you had to buy their ammo 'cause they were a lead-free range, but it turned into "you gotta rent our guns too" and it sucked.

I think most indoor range say no to steel case anything I get that. I think has to do with most of them using steel back stops and shooting steel anything at that can create a spark and since they like to collect the brass makes cleanup harder. I’m okay with using brass and prefer it, but sometimes steel case is all you can find.

I use to just go mainly to get whatever FFL transfer I had sitting there for probably months. Do the paperwork and while I wait shoot a few rounds (mainly pistols), pay and collect my transfer and be on my way. They use to just wanna see what ammo you were using make sure it wasn’t steel anything. Then it went to now you have to buy ammo from us to use. Starting getting way to expensive nah I go iver to the outdoor and use what i already paid and have on hand. I imagine you wouldn’t wanna go anything above a .223/5.56 indoors but then anything I stick to outdoors with anything above a pistol just personal preference but I also seen other shooting damn fireballs from their SBR or AR pistols and always ask whyyyy lol.

Somewhere along the line they started getting greedy as hell. I use to buy stripped AR lowers in 3 since you can do up to 3 on the same form and would just pay for the single transfer. Then it wait to charging per item even though its still a single form. Then it went to well if I get the membership transfer were cheaper.

Selling you ammo, collecting your brass, reloading, then reselling their reloaded ammo man they gotta it figured out lol. Outdoor don’t require all that. They collect your brass if you don’t want it and just so much easier to unload, people aren’t on top of you like the indoors I been too.

They're alright but they're never gonna beat the offset drum smoker where you gotta stay up all night. I even prefer the electric vertical ones. I'll use the traeger only if I need all the space or if I really need to sleep (even though it always finds a way to stop in the middle of a smoke) but I kinda wish I didn't buy it.

Also nobody tells you how loud they are.

My grill has a offset drum but the fire management has been annoying me recently. I saw the electric vertical ones but you can only put woodchips in it.

Yea i need the space the rifle section is a 100,200,300 ,350 and 400 yards. Then the long range goes from 5 to 850 yards you have to qualify to shoot on that side. But it's more of a club as you do have to pay membership to get in

Ah ok. I didn't know you shoot the long ranges. Makes sense. You're in NC right?

Different indoor places allow different things. There was a county range in NC that I went to that allowed steel (thank god because I have a ton of steel). I think their only rule really was no fmj. It's actually a great indoor place since it's free and not many restrictions

I'm in FL now and most of them seem to have the rules of only brass and don't allow certain calibers. Which is odd because it's Florida lol you'd think if any state would be laxed on rules it's Florida lmao

Dafuq??? They had y'all wasting money on HP's for target practice??? I mean, I understand if it's .22LR 'cause it's stupid cheap, but not anything bigger than that. You get 50 rounds of 9mm FMJ's for $14-$15 or less on sale vs 20rds of HP/JHP for $25+ and they expect you to play around with it???

I'd run like hell from that range.

IIRC they had wooden holders for the targets that would get fucked up. It was the wake county indoor shooting range

Yep I’m in Florida the few I been to was like this could just be a coincidence. I damn sure not using HP for the range nope nope hard enough to find that decently priced. Actually I think I used HP 5.7x28 for a new gun I had picked up then since thats what I had and that cartridge wasn’t to popular so ammo manuf. were limited.
