Maybe we need a range thread . . . maybe this is it!!!
The range I shoot, Ramparts in Pochantous IL, has no rules about brass save for sweep it up when you are done. You can take it home or dump it in the brass pail. They do sort and bag some but a lot goes to the metal recycler. You don't have to buy and shoot their ammo only but you do have to buy and shoot at their targets. I think it is one of their one concessions to making some $$, and who knows what kind of weird stuff people would bring in as targets. The range time is $16 an hour. Half that for kids, military and LEO. They have a ladies night, offer classes, sell ammo, reloading supplies, freeze dried food, jewelry, wide variety of shooting supplies. You can rent guns and eyes and ears if you forget them. If you don't feel like shooting there is always a coffee pot on and a TV hanging on the wall. They have a yearly rate and a life time member rate. I'm a life time member and go about twice a week. Being an LT gets me ten percent discount on ammo and six times a year I can bring a guest who shoots for free. And they have given me some great deals on gun purchases.
Life is good.
