I go to an outdoor range for 10.00 you get to shoot 3 hours I never stay that long and no range Nazis. I went to Shoot straight in Tampa once never again the range officers were rude as F it was it's just not worth it having them try and ruin the one thing I enjoy.

So if they think their braced AR pistol should be allowed on the rifle range, then they won’t be upset when the ATF declares that braced AR pistols are SBR’s, & a stamp needs to be purchased. It doesn’t work both ways. GARY.
It's not about what people "claim". The law (for now) says that an AR pistol with a brace is still a pistol. If and when it changes, I'll either remove the brace and shoulder the bare tube like we all did before braces were common or I'll get an SBR stamp. The contradictory logic is that a braced AR pistol is somehow more dangerous to the ceiling panels in their range than the same gun with a nearly identical stock.

The whole point of going to Shooters World was for the air-conditioning and the infinitely adjustable automatic return target tracks. Now you're asking me to sweat and walk?!?!

Two weeks ago some i sold a walter uzi 22 with fake can, to cover for r922 compliance all factory configuration to a freind that was thrown off the range at shooter world tampa. for having a 2 stamp gun with no stamps. he left ashamed and worried the atf would be knocking. came to me asking if i had sold him a full auto uzi with a can for 350 dollars. true story. yes the are just that stupid.

I bought the 10 for range card 10 for $100 .....so it makes the regular $20 pistol lane only $10 each time you go, a deal right :roll: ......but I went to shoot on the rifle range and the guy punched it twice, so I lost 2, not 1.5 ( cause is supposed the be half price of $30) ......not doing that B.S. again

I usually get treated pretty OK at all the local ranges but damn, SW treats ya like the red headed step child when it comes to $$$ or the rules......I had a mag of mixed .223 and didnt know it , about half way thru got a tap on the shoulder, and a question.....you shooting steel case...I said no, he said you are the only one with an AR.....I looked on the ground and said oh damn, must have stopped off a mag with brass, he said .....got any more, I said nope I'm done.......lol

I have never gone in there because it always looks way too busy, but I was going west on Fletcher near the speed limit last week and some fucknut decided to pull out of it into my lane at the last second. Thankfully there wasn't anyone behind me while I slammed on my brakes.

Indoor ranges all suck. Too much money for too little time. Stupid rules made up by stupid politically correct money grubbing asses that know those that go there usually will pay the fees and either think they are getting a great deal or whine and bitch about while they look for another indoor range. Fresh air is always better than shooting inside an air conditioned box...Anyone person that will pay money for "x" per hour gets what they get. Go to a worthwhile outdoor range and shoot all day for for less than two hours being poisoned. As to pistol/sbr/other find a place worth a damn.
Those who forget history are destined to repeat it.
