I was on my own to shoot, not to mess. I was dealing with what was defo an employee. The M16 kept jamming, and with every jam he had to come over to clear it. After a while he got annoyed and started blaming me. I said something like "I am doing what I was told to do" to which he couldnt say much, and gave me a speel about the cost of the rifle, which was nothing to do with the price of fish. Anyway, I just moved on to the 47. At least it didnt jam. I would still recommend though.

Each time I went with a group it worked out about $80 each, some guns cost more to rent then others but splitting the bill among everyone makes it easier, as each person shot each others guns for a while. If you need more ammo it'll work out slightly more. 80-90 bucks should give you a good idea anyway.

Yes. You could rent 1 gun between 2, but you are also paying for a half hour range time. You are nearly better off spending the 80 dollars on your own gun, then swopping over, as if you share 1 gun it may take more then your allocated half hour range time and you'll be charged more.

80 dollars for the experience was well worth it for me, the price of a meal and night out in Boston really. Also, some guns will only be $70, assault rifles will be more. 80-90 dollars was the average price when split among the group.

$70/$80 for one pistol? How much ammo do you get?

I just got back last week from a 4 week stint in the States. I spent 8 days in NY and never found a suitable walk in range. all the places i tried were not interested.

But the i was in Nevada 2 weeks prior to that and i found a excellent spot just outside Vegas(ya can't spend all yer time gambling), called "The Las vegas shooting certer". They have a firearm to suit every possible fancy you could have.

I even got to shoot a Barrett lite .50, all i can say about that is that it was awsome. It cost $11.50 per round but was worth every cent.
