Just a fun day at the range, I hadn’t been in a few years. I’ll never make that mistake again.

Took my new Ruger, S101, 357 Magnum and Glock G 43X9 mm to the range here in central Texas. (7 miles from my house) You can shoot as fast as you want at least at this Indoor Range and the 357 got pretty toasty 100 rounds through it and 100 rounds through my Glock G 43X9 mm, they both shot great - so much fun. Just reordered more ammo as soon as I got home- to be delivered TO my front door - PS , forgot my speed loader for the Glock, sore fingers, LOL!!!

Nice!

I haven't been to my local indoor range since before the pandemic. I've been "thinking about it" for several weeks though.

Previously, the fee was $15/day. Now, it's $15/HOUR! That's an impact.

The indoor range is about 6 miles from me and there's an outdoor range which is about 11 miles from me. Haven't been there in a long time. About a decade I think.

What little shooting I've done has been in my back yard. I really do need to go to a range and blast a few hundred rounds. Got a couple guns that need breaking in.

Ive got a nice outdoor range about 35 mi from me, havent been there yet, only soft tip bullets for rifles they have great pricing(forgot) this indoor range $20 an hour then they prorate - I'll het target pics 2morrow I was pulling left but corrected - the 357 has a wayyyyyyy different trigger pull and I was doing rapid fire

I remember in N. CA bout 10 yrs ago $10 ALLLLLLL day outside, shotgun, rifle pistol!

 

[WIMUSKY]

I live in the bush. All day, every day $0. Nobody monitors the range....

 

[southkogs]

^^^ LOL ... I wish.

In the city, they seem to get a little wound up when you practice in the back yard. But we have a few nice indoor ranges locally (pricey, but nice in the winter) and a few outdoor ranges. Honestly the TWRA range about a half hour away is one of my favorite places to shoot.

Thats great!!! Like I said I'll be going to the big outdoor one soon - but I do have a few leads where some buddies live (10 acres +) depending on where you live to shoot - paid off my house 3 ish yrs ago - could have bought land/10 plus acres that would have doubled but I dont want to stretch thin then

 

[ezbtr]

btw - the 5 shot 357 is dbl action only S101 "hidden/shaved hammer" so fast shooting takes practice

I love shooting. I go to an indoor range every month sometimes twice a month. Once you’ve demonstrated your proficiency and safety knowledge you can rapid fire, double tap or what ever. I started out a revolver guy but now mostly shoot simi autos although I always bring a 357 or two , mostly shoot 38’s with them. Mostly shoot 9mm Glocks , that’s my go to and my favorite and my edc. Shooting has gotten expensive over the last several years but that’s one of my hobbies so I pay what ever it takes.

I only have one revolver - the 357 I bought 4 (?) ish mos ago - they are not cheap like semiautos!!! I have 22LR (hollow points) Baretta (edc) , 9mm.s , 357/38/38 spec and 45's it's a good enough spread for me - also been going to PT for back and leg (REALLY HELPS!) to gear up for hunting, more fishing and prob a side by side - all good reasons to get in shape!! I'll be trying this great outdoor range soon - about 30 miles away

 

[WIMUSKY]

At least 9mm has come down from the relatively recent crazy prices, .223 too...

The more you bring, the more you gotta clean (or neglect) afterward. I hardly ever go anymore. If I was retired I might find the time/energy again.

Our outdoor range is about 10 miles away. Volunteer payment of five dollars. For $25.00 you get into the sportsman club membership. You can volunteer for helping maintain it or just use it all you want. I go there twice a year so I just do the five bucks at a time. The club maintains the snowmobile trails and atv stuff also. Great organization.

I go across the street and use the “back 40” of the church property or drive 6 miles to my brothers house and use his range.
