Into shooting ranges
http://www2.timesdispatch.com/business/ ... r-1233430/
Nice idea, 3-4 miles from the house, close to work, but I'm not too sure I want to pay $35/month or $20/trip to shoot. My current range is $100/year, but I drive about 30 miles to get there.

Newer ranges have huge overhead start-up costs to meet EPA/OSHA safety standards. Unfortunately a range's membership fees will have to make up that initial investment plunge for the owners. Eventually the owner/operators will figure what the market will bear in range users fees. We have seen a slight uptick in new shooting facilities in the recent past. This may be a speculator market response to the huge surge in firearms purchases over the last few years. Folks need a place to shoot all those guns and with so many other industries failing finding a niche to satisfy a need is the right way to invest for some.

The indoor range I shoot at cost me $100/yr (renewal, $130 new) and $8/lane/day. There is no time limit on lanes unless you go on a holiday when every body is off. They have a membership where you do not pay for your lane, but it's 3 x the cost. You have to shoot twice a week for that one. They also have family memberships too. It does get you a small discount on most every thing in the store. It is one of the nicer gun stores in the area, large collection of handguns and rifles. www.bullettrapinc.com
