Range rates are about $12 an hour at the LAX Firing Range near me. Ammo runs $15-$25 for 100 rounds, you also have to buy paper targets ($0.25-$0.75 each) and you have to rent a gun if you don't have one. I haven't rented, bub IIRC, they're $6-$12 an hour or so. When I go, I usually spend about $60-$70 to shoot 200 rounds, which is a pretty good day. You'll also need to bring eye and hearing protection, or you can rent them. It's probably been discussed here, but I like to use foam plugs under a headset. Either is good enough, but doubling up can't hurt.
If you're going to be around LA and want to shoot, drop me a PM some time. I've got a couple .45 ACPs, a 9mm and a 20 gauge pump. There's an assortment of rifles and shotguns down in the desert - I should probably bring a few of those up next time I'm down there. Anyhow, drop me a line if you want to go.

What's the average price of partaking in such an activity, or does it vary wildly (i.e. how much ammo you use, how long you plan to use it, etc.)? |
