Why do they charge so much? How is a poorfag supposed to get proficient in his weapon if he can never practice?
>>

so practice out in their parking lot.

If you can afford the 1st two how are you unable to budget for the latter?

im so happy i live in Nevada where i can just drive like 20 mins and be in the middle of nowhere and shoot whatever the fuck i want. must suck ass having to pay to go shoot somewhere at like 50 yards max.
>>
>>34965541
It's like 20 bucks to use the range, if that.
>>
>>34965732

here it's 15 during the week and 20 on weekends

do google search for - gun ranges near me

and then spend either $$ or time driving

OP here. The CHEAPEST range in my area (indoor or outdoor)is $20 an hour.
>>
>>34965541
I go to the local sheriffs range, they charge $10 and you can shoot all day. Deputies as ROs are generally chill as fuck.
>>
>>34965879

And?
>>
I'd go out into the woods or some open field in East Texas, but it's probably owned by some fudd that will know you're on his land at any given time and Chase you off with a shotgun.

Best I have is my father in laws ho use with two acres of land, but he gets autistic about shooting on it.
>>
>>34965879
where might that be?
>>
>>34965900
They charge $15 an hour here

>>34965920
I can't afford that. I thought I said that in the beginning?

>>34965931
Garner/Raleigh NC
>>
>>34965900
Oh, and I have to take a 2 hour class and pass a written test and then pay $25 dollars just for the privilege of paying $15 an hour.
>>
>>34965920
If you want to practice enough to be worthwhile, $20/hour easily becomes a couple hundred bucks a month or more not including ammo. That's a lot of money for most people.
>>
>>34965945
no public ranges there? i find that surprising.
>>
>>34966055
Yeah, but they charge.
>>
>>34965541
You're going to the wrong ranges.

>>34965945
A box of ammo is $10-20.
>>
>>34966124
So, I should go to the more expensive ranges? And what does ammo have to do with anything?
>>
>>34966077
sounds like its time for a gun club if you shoot that much.

>Can afford gun
>Can afford ammo
>Can afford range time
My problem is ranges won't let me pick up my own brass here without giving me shit. I even got a "talking to" when I picked up my steel links from the belt fed. I told that one he can bring his manager over.
I wish Texas had BLM land to shoot on.
>>
>>34966163
I don't shoot any, because I can't afford too. And if I can't afford range fees what makes you think I can afford a membership?
>>
>>34966163
That may be cheaper in the long run, but the up front costs can be high. Most of the ranges in my area charge around $20/hour. I have a club membership that's $35/month for unlimited use, but I had to pay $500 to join and sit on a waiting list for a couple years.
>>
Tbh there are typically wilderness areas in most states where a person can shoot for free. Might take you awhile to get there but its free. Some states might require a hunting license (roughly 30 bucks)
>>
>>34966238
No such animal in NC
>>
>>34965541

>paying for range time

Just find a place innawoods you can shoot or kiss ass with someone who owns land
>>
>>34966202
the one i was looking at out here (best carolina) is 100/year plus 750 initiation paid over 5 years. or one of the local indoor ranges always has a sale once a year for 150 unlimited use for a year. i think OP might be in the wrong sport if a few hundred a year is an issue.

Wtf , I stay at my old range. Sure it's hot at times but it's still 25yrds/100 yrds but I don't pay over 10$ unless I get fancy targets or take my wife , even then women shoot free certain days. Look for decent ranges not the branch ranges because they usually suck and charge way to much.thinking about getting my ranges 3 year membership , 1200$ but free range use all 3 years , unlimited targets even fancy ones , free classes , free FFL transfers , around 20 free passes to give to people , free rentals for eyes , ears and pistols , along with 15% off shit.

TO THE EXTREME
>>
>>34966148
You said you could afford ammo. If the range fee is no different from the smallest amount of ammo that you can buy, then you lied about being able to afford ammo. It makes me respect you a whole lot less.
>>
>>34966164
In Texas, BLM shoots YOU! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police_officers
>>
Look for local gun clubs. I found a club that has a private outdoor range. 300$ a year, no lane fees RO's or stupid ammo casing requirements. Took me a while to find it but you could call around to local gun shops and ask them if they know of any clubs. If you're in NC the place that runs the club is called "patriot shooting sports" in Youngsville
>>
>>34965541
mine is $15 +$6 for every pal, no time limit.
>>
>>34965554
lol!
>>
Fuck ranges. Go to public/private land
>>
I use to shoot at a nice little outdoor range 40 minutes from my old house. Went twice a month, 15 bucks a day all day. Use to spend my entire day off at the range shooting a variety of stuff and just talking to people.

Now that I moved, cheapest is 30 bucks a day, indoor. It's a nice faculty, but lacks the charm of my old range. I also can't shoot most of my guns there, since it's only rated up to 308 and it's only 22 yards. BLM land is about an hour away, but talking to my co workers, it seems that there are a lot of redneck assholes out there so it's somewhat dangerous. I use to have shooting buddies I go out to BLM land with every few months, but I've not found any since I've moved.

I'm trying to join a private club (massive place with great facilities), but the wait list is very long and up front cost is pretty high. But since I have to wait anyway, I'm setting aside a few bucks here and there every month and by the time I get in, I'll have enough to cover the fees.

Goddammit, Yuropoor here, in a guns-very-restricted Poland. $13 for an hour at the range, includes gun rental and a magazine of ammo. And basic (quite thorough) training if you have none.

I don't want poor people, other than rural hunters, to be proficient.

Sorry my post came out in parts. Fellow Raleigh NC fag here, Most skeet shooting ranges have pistol and rifle ranges for 15 an hour which honestly isent that bad if you dont have any friends who have enough private land to shoot on.

Also overall 15-20 bucks isent THAT bad jesus op, especially when a box of ammo costs around 20 baka
>>
If you can afford ammo, you can afford range time.
Unless you're going to go autistic with """"afford"""", then you can just pay even more for proper training, drive to public land to shoot, save up and buy land to shoot, know someone with land to shoot, or not practice with your gun at all.

What gun did you get, and how much ammo do you have on hand?

not everyone lives in Vegas and Henderson (Hive of Scum and Villainy)

Goodsprings is a real place and not just a location in FALLOUT NV. Most people live on the mountain boarder of NV and CA so they can frequently drive into CA for work and play but not have to deal with CA's fucking laws

I'm thinking of doing similar, maybe on the Arizona boarder and California, problem is I don't see many cities in those parts.

One down side to Nevada is that it is a fucking desert and food and water in SHTF would be a disaster.

Every scrap of food in Las Vegas is trucked in and if for some reason it was cut off from the world due to a disaster, you'd have cannibalism within a month.

Texas is weird, in some ways it's paradise for gun owners...but then you can't wear a knife on your belt while technically in California you can walk around with a sword so long as it's in a scabbard.

The way to handle this is to be an even bigger redneck asshole than they are.

Uhh just go in the woods. Make sure you either own the land, it's state owned, or the owner knows you're shooting there. What kind of idiot pays money to shoot their guns?

NSSF has good search as well. I don't think you're as hard up as you think you are.
>>
>>34965541
Most states have some free public ranges and/or national forest land. Get to googling. If you go for the latter make sure to call up the park rangers for your intended shooting area to make sure shooting is allowed there.
>>
>>34971862
NC does not

Yes. Closest one is about 2 hours drive one way

Groupon!

I get a coupon for one lane for an hour for $12. Comes with one free target and free earpro/eyepro rental.

Its great for taking friends and family.

For just myself, I go to public land. It's usually free! In my state at least

Where does Nevada get their water?
Thinking of moving there in December btw
>>
>>34975645
If I recall, Lake Mead is a main source where the get a lot of the water from the run off at Hoover Dam. There's the Colorado, and some subterranean water. Then again, this is an FL fag speaking from Google and Geography 101.
>>
>>34965879
Vancouver?

Also, the cost of operating a shooting range is fucking high. The liability insurance alone will make your anus pucker up.
>>
>Can't afford range time

Range near my house charges 16 bucks for the whole day, 8 if you're a member. Members get other stuff too, like access to the other half of the range that has a combat pistol dealy, and other things only available to members. But the public portion is pay the fee, pick your bench, stay there as long as you want, or until closing, whichever comes first.
