They make closer to 20% mark up on ammo but that really only comes to a couple dollars a box. As for the range price, $19 an hour is really only $9.50 an half hour which is cheaper then they used to be. But, if you only shoot for a half hour then it is expensive.
As a gun store owner who is working on a range what would people like to see? By the hour or half hour and what kind of price ranges?
I usually go to Class 3 Sales....reasonable rate $9.00 HRThey make closer to 20% mark up on ammo but that really only comes to a couple dollars a box.

Im not going to bash Pops. Im not going to spend any of my money there either. I remember which shops treated me fairly when others were trying to cash in big time when AR parts and ammo were tough to find.

I would like to see by the Half Hour.....$5.00 some guys want just to try a gun out...maybe make adjustments....or try some new ammo.
I was in there Monday and was told ammo sales were for range and gun customers only.
A coworker told me on Friday he used their range recently. The 19.00 covered the guns he shot which was three different ones. I thought that was not too bad becuase he could compare three guns was considering purchasing. However, he then told me you were required to use their ammo which cost over $25.00 a box for a box of 50. He was firing 9mm. You can buy compareable ammo (different brand) at Wal-Mart for 9 bux a box. OUCH!!!!
I'm gonna raise the on your co-worker.
Ain't no way an indoor range is going to require you to use their ammo charging $25.00 a box. No one would go except the newest "Susie Soccermom" who bought a gun from them. One sure way to lose your ass is to require something like this. Nevermind the fact that there's no way in hell they'd have enough ammo in stock to supply the amount of people/amount of rounds required to shoot in any given day.
Before we argue, let's do some research...

I was there Sat. morning, you can shoot YOUR ammo. Pop's only sells ammo to range users or gun buyers.So if you have ammo you can shoot it at pop's as long as it isn't steel or aluminum cases.
