- If you have never been to a gun range you are probably wondering how much it costs to go for the first time. Rob walks you through the process in the video showing you first hand what steps are required. He also breaks down the cost of the experiences for you at his Parma Armory Shooting Center. Check out the full video to see the final price!
Man the prices there are very good. The range i go is 25 for a lane plus 20 if you want to rent a gun, private lessons are 100 and ammo prices are crazy
That is exactly what I was thinking. This place is a deal and a half.
Thanks!
My spot is $15 for a lane and $1 targets. I have my own gun and ammo. So i pay nomore than 20
cheaper by a few dollars over my local Idaho range. this range not yours.
Your prices are still good
I pay 45-60$ for an houer in swizerland
That's impressive to see the price like if you wanna shoot in europ in belgium you will spend like 100 bucks euro plus 25 bucks euro for the lesson.
I pay nomore than $20. Its $15 to shoot and $1 target. I have my own gun and ammo
Well, that’s about what you would pay
Why was the "customer" running the whole show and acting like an expert? Lmao. I get what you were trying to do but.. I won't say poorly.. but weirdly executed 😂 weird like that "love is why you buy a gun" sign.. ya know?
Shot in a couple of states and I can confidently say that the rental pricing and private lesson is shockingly good!
I wish I was closer to Parma. Building looks great and prices are very reasonable.
Stop out sometime!
Hi from the UK. I belong to a gun range and have my firearms licence and shotgun licence. Our club only hires out rifles and shotguns but you can shoot pistols. Their range of weapons is a bit limited but you can hire rifles like a 223, a 22, a 17hmr, a 303, a 308 and a few more. Cost of hiring a gun, shotgun or rifle, for members is about £3.50 ?? $4 ish. You can use the rifle as long as you stay. Hired weapons require you to shoot club ammo purchased there.
It is limited compared to many of the American experiences but for a country who many believe you can't own a gun, we do OK. In some ways I'm pleased I don't live in America mainly because I would be perpetually broke from buying guns and ammunition. 😅😅
and yet- your country is lost. within 1 generation it will all be gone. women taken, children re-educated, what are u men doing?
you dont have a first or second amendment rights endowed by your creator, and you are losing more rights by the day. "thought" police
Your both absolutely insane
@@iamjames8200you're
@@Bluemortal001Lol Americans thinking they have a damn clue about countries beside their own.
Dam my local shooting charges $25 for a lane rent 1hr, $20 for handgun rental and $30 for rifles, $20-30 per box of ammo (depending on the gun you shooting hangun, rifle, shotgun) $5 dollars a paper target, $10 for safety and earplugs and the private shooting lessons for 80$ an hour
Come on down and visit some time
i understand this its 38 dollars for 30 minutes at the only local range we have where im at
Pretty much the same prices at the range near me. With membership, lane rental is free and classes are discounted. Targets are $2.
$5 for a paper target!!! Damn, here you get 3 targets for free!
Where I live the indoor range is $16 and you can be there as long as you want up to closing. No green tip allowed plus you have to wear double hearing protection(ear plugs and earmuffs). At the outdoor range it's $10 and you can be there as long as you want up to closing. No restrictions on ammo.
Well that’s good. This range is just expensive to operate so our retail prices are a little higher
@@MeetRob You're right about that. Indoor ranges have the comfort factor. It's expensive for electricity to run the air conditioning and the air cleaners. Plus the target retrieval system and the building of the range to make them safe. It's really a bargain price when you think about it. The outdoor range you don't have air conditioner and you have to walk down range to put up your target. If you do a lot of shooting walking back and forth can give you a workout. In Texas where I live we just got a lot of rain and you can't go until it dries out and the mosquitos are real bad right now. I have to wear a sweatshirt when I mow the lawn and the temperature is low 90's now.
I've shot at many indoor ranges within the United States while on TDY or on vacation throughout the years. Your pricing is very reasonable for everything that you showed in this video. Compared to some that were charging almost $1 a round for 9mm and $2.50 to shoot 45/70 target rounds (lead core). I hope yoe stay in business for a long time.
Thank you, come and see us
$25 for a half hour training is crazy pricing. You should charge more, but on the other hand I appreciate keeping teaching proper firearm usage accessible.
I pay $15 to shoot all day in a pistol lane up to 25 yards, a rifle range that's 50 yards and another that's 100 yards. There is another range I go to, membership and background check only that's $1,200 a year but you have your own private 50x50 yard bay with steel targets, IPSCs and you can draw from a holster and do actual movements.
Sorry that’s not Parma Armory Shooting Center, it’s different hear but it sounds like it works for you
What comes with the 1200$ membership except the yard bay?
@@imgriizzly4179 you get your own private bay. Depending on the bay that's available, there are members who leave their steel targets. You're allowed to stay as long as you want, you just have to sign up for the time. You can shoot at night. You can run, draw from a holster, wear gun belts and plate carriers. You're alone and can do whatever you want. They also have separate 100, 200, 300, 500, and 800 yard targets to shoot.
It's pretty nice compared to static, bench or standing only ranges that yell at you for rapid fire and don't allow you to actually draw from a IWB or OWB holster. Drawing your weapon is particularly important that most people don't have the experience doing with live fire practice. Most people never have the ability to shoot and run drills at night, practicing utilizing your flashlight or night vision. 99% of the ranges are ok for zeroing your weapon but they instill such bad habits into people. Imagine shooting at nothing but a range that makes you stand in one place only holding your pistol or rifle very specific ways only and requires you to shoot one round per second. That's literally training you to be ineffective. There aren't a whole lot of places that allow open drills and movement. Once you start training that way, it's hard to go back to anything else.
@@imgriizzly4179 it's definitely not for everyone and $100 a month (or $1,000 if you pay for it up front) is a lot, especially if you factor in ammo, which you'll burn through quickly. If you have a friend with some land and can find a spot with a berm I highly recommend shooting this way. Just be safe and don't be a dumbass.
Just for reference, my local range costs me $80 in annual membership. Free access at all times. No additional fees. There is a 25m pistol range, two IPSC bays, several rifle ranges from 50m to 300m. There's also trap, skeet and various hunting ranges. We shoot IPSC handgun, shotgun and rifle as well as PRS, PCC and Kpist (full auto SMG). At $1200 annually, you guys are getting ripped off.

Can a tourist from the UK 🇬🇧 with their passport for ID shoot on ranges in the USA ?
Yes
@@MeetRob thank you.
Is the uk on the list? Would love to visit.
Yes
Dang, $20 for a box of range ammo is ridiculous
Depends on caliber but yes
$26.95 for box 50 9mm ammo at the range I go to. Unacceptable.
$20 included Tax , and was rounded off ( up ) . $18/ 50rd generic 9mm not unreasonable for purchase at a gun range .
You don't pay the same for a steak at a restaurant that you do at the grocery store . Ranges have to turn a profit , or they wouldn't be open for business .
"Hi. I've never shot before... I'll need a target... and hearing protection... and eye protection... and ammo...and a rental... and a instructor...."
🤦♂️
I was surprised by thr gun rental fee 10$ is a very good deal for all 9mm pistols I think the place I use it's 25$ for and hours fee.
Thank you! We try to keep it fair
$100 man, add another $100 and buy a gun. Also as beginners first time shooter a full size gun would be a better idea. No need to buy ear protection, rent them or get the free ones that every range gives. Same with ammo, target ammo is around 13-15. You should be able to rent a lane, pistol and ammo for 45-50 bucks
My range charges $18 for a lane and $10 for up to two guests on that lane for those with the cheap annual subscription (or pay like $300 for zero lane charges for the year). $10 to rent a single firearm and $25 to be able to use any of the rentable firearms and switch between them. You have to use ammo from their store, though, which means prices are a lot higher than bulk ammo (think $18 for 50 rounds of 9).
Thanks for sharing
Let’s say I was from a middle eastern country and am on the U.S. to learn how to fly a small plane ( take-off only ) can I come in and practice shooting … pistols mostly in large caliber and of course tactical weapons with large capacity magazines ?
I think we learned our lesson the first time.
Hell no! Not until you eat bacon on camera at the front desk!
I've never...NEVER gone to a range where you have to buy or even rent ear protection. That's insane!
Interesting looking in from another country…. Something that is not available in my country as we ave very strict gun laws.
Glasses on his cap???
Way too expensive!!! 100 bucks to shoot for your 1st visit.....
This is some city folk stuff. It’s way different in the country.
Any friend or neighbor can come over and shoot my guns at anytime. I have the G19 and G43x that were mentioned, and many many more. Bring some ammo which will be much cheaper from the store and we can shoot all day.
We have meat shoots for charity, and shoot skeet for fun or wager. We have pistol courses weekly.
Spending $100 to borrow a pistol for 50 rounds just seems crazy to me.
Ridiculous price indeed
Yes, it is much different than having outdoor access
Sad to hear 40 s&w is less common. Use to be more common than 9mm years ago.
Almost never used now
If you don't come to the range with your own gun, many gun ranges with gun rentals WON'T let you rent a gun. Why? Suicides that's why. There's plenty of videos from gun ranges where the gun renter ends their life at a shooting range. Some ranges let you rent a gun only with two people there. I haven't heard about suicide pacts, but I'm sure even that has happened, but not as common as the solo sucide at the gun rental range.
Yeah, range by me won't rent if you come in solo without a gun. If you already have one or come in with another person then they allow it.
Of course their range isn't great and their prices are high so despite them being a few blocks away I don't go there.
safety waiver is hilarious. range i go to in texas all u gotta do is pay and read there rules. AMERICA
lol 100+ for this!!! Go to marketplace and buy one ...
good video !
Thanks! Please tell us more video ideas!
@@MeetRob your are on a good path ! Show us the life of a shooting range 🧹
@@MeetRobHi Rob. I’m a member at Parma Armory and I love the place. I can’t wait for the new additions to be completed. You have a great crew: Heather, Faye, Gene, Andre, Erik, Joe, Patrick, just to name a few. I see you every so often. Keep up the great work
What is your name?
Absolutely
I got a question, I'm from Germany (no Green Card or anything), and I used to shoot on Gun Ranges in several states (Cali, Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Florida), all I needed each time was my ordinary German ID or drivers lisense. But are there states where I not allowed to rent guns and buy ammo for use on the range as an alien without any kind of US stay permit except from a tourist Visa?
Because sometimes I saw on a web page, "aliens or tourists welcome" and sometimes (tourists Visa or non US residence not allowed"
Is this a kind of property rights or sometimes a state law?
It could be up to the property owner. I have my own range, and if you show up when we’re shooting targets, you’ll be shooting too is my guess.
Nice video. But please stop saying absolutely. 😅
Noted
I wish I could afford to go to a range.
This reporter knew what to ask for.
Yes that is correct, it was a skit to yeah people
I live in Czechia and whenever I am in the US I want to shoot stuff we can't get here. So basically Hi points and cobra arms stuff they never have it for hire but I did once have a awesome guy over hear me talking about Hi Points at the range and go get his truck hi point for us to borrow. Now that's America.
You should come in and be our guest!
Leverage and take care of your range officers. They are invaluable. Where i shoot they are xpolice, x military or current academy. I’ve only been shooting for about a year and they have accelerated my learning exponentially. Btw….Heritage Guild, Easton, PA.
We certainly do that
You did a better job articulating what was going on than the employee lol. He even had his salesman voice on the whole time and answered your questions so basically. I basically died when he just handed you, a "first time shooter" the glock and then you had to put the chamber flag in and inspect the ammo. Good job carrying the interaction
Hey thanks, appreciate it. We get these questions daily so we want to show people before they come to the range and this video is very popular and people say they have watched it, so it’s great to see! Please like and subscribe for more great videos
I'm from the uk and visit family regular in America. One of my favourite things is going to a gun range when I'm in the states .
Awesome, come and see us!
Almost 2 hours away though :D
Dang that is far but it’s worth the drive!
Indoor range where I live in New Hampshire $25 for the day for the first person and $20 each addition person up to three people per lane. Shooting isn't cheap and you need practice as often as you can to be efficient at it.
Wow, that is pretty expensive, people just don’t realize how expensive shooting is
Great video. Looks like a nice place to train. Um... is it safe to hand over a rental firearm and ammo at the same time?
Yes thank you
Very edumacational
Seems a great place
Sure is! Stop out
"Love is why you buy a gun" What in the actual f is that sign?
What's wrong with it?
@@Knuckles2761 Wdym what's wrong wiht it. It makes zero fuckin sense hahaha
@@JackRR15 you buy gun for 1 of 3 reasons:
1. You want to protect someone (yourself included). Protection is born from love.
2. You want to end someone. Hate is the other side of the coin with love.
3. You love guns.
See? Initial statement is correct for all 3 reasons.
@@Knuckles2761 I don't love guns, it's merely a hobby. So yeah I dunno about that. Weird slogan.
It's like 20 bucks
For gun rentals for a beginner, you'd think they would have a popular striker fire (Glock 19), a popular hammer fire auto (maybe a sig P226), a revolver (S&W J frame), and a selction of movie guns - Dirty Harry "remove the finger prints" .44 Auto Mag, James Bond walther PPK, Snatch Vinnie Jones's 50 cal Desert Eagle, John Waynes True Grit Single Action Army...
What was the safety waiver all about?
The rules
some expensive range time 12 flat for the range near me long as you like .. bring your own ammo can get 5 bucks cheaper per box
Not in that area north east Ohio I haven’t found an indoor range under $20 an hour
Get what you pay for
you're a military base? No you're not
Military based
Hot damn! I wish I had those prices. Where I live, two boxes of 9mm and hour range time alone total to his price!
Wow! Some say we are too cheap and some say we are too expensive
@@MeetRobit expensive, used to cost 8$ for 9mm of 50 rounds
18.99 for 9mm 🥴 I reload it for like 5 😂. Reload 44 mag for like 8
Well that’s a great price, we just don’t get it at that price anymore
I'm in Los Angeles County and it's $28 to shoot all day, $14 for additional shooter. No targets available at local store, so don't know what the range charges. I didn't see anything about ammo, but where I shot before, you had to use their ammo. I've got my own, but plan on going there this week, and hope I can use my own ammo. A year membership is only $225 a year (I think). My old gun is history, so I'll be breaking in my new Glock 19. Took it apart and it looks pretty dry, so I still need some oil. Just assumed it would be good out of the box.
Great video. I liked learning. And for anyone wondering...they are in Ohio.
so boring
The range I got to is 25 an hour, 15 for 30 mins. Targets are about 2 dollars. I have my own gun and own ammo. If I want to do unlimited rental gun its an extra 15.
Going to the range is cheaper than bowling.
What else is that affordable?
Very nice. Love the price of everything, wish you guys were in my backyard.
My local indoor spot charges $17 per hour per lane (25-35yd) with 3 free paper targets and $25 to rent a firearm.
I wonder if the checker got a talkin to when he didnt put the yellow saefty tag in yhe hand gun when the video was done.
Walking in and out of a Range/Store for under $300, awesome.
If you have a firearm $4 if your a senior and $22 if you do you don’t have a leisure pass by me.
Well done sir. An aspect of shooting not usually covered.
What’s the age requirement if you bring someone
8 or older
@@MeetRob ok thanks
100 dollars is a steal
Open 7 days a week
Hot Shots in Daytona... $15 for an hour. Pretty sure ear & eye protection included. No firearm restrictions.
Even better if you already own your own gun. And .22 ammo (CCI minimags) are stupid cheap. 100 rounds for just over $10.
That’s a pretty good deal, that’s just not the same price as here
great prices, too bad you're in cleveland
Sorry! Just one location
@@MeetRob and, i'm in the dayton area, lol. oh, well, range usa is close by and no one ever said this was a cheap hobby.
This is why I love America.
My range day costs. Lane time $40, targets $20, ammo $300. So 2 hr = $360 worth it 😂
$40 for lane time? Ridiculous pricing... 😐
Range I go to 15 bucks an hour or if you remember it’s 45 bucks a month for unlimited shooting but you know ammunition is not cheap
That’s not a bad price
you're buying eye and ear protection -- but the salesperson said you can't buy anything with an out of state ID -- so did he mean you can't buy a gun and ammunition with an out of state ID or did he mean you can't buy anything (including eye and ear protection) with an out of state ID
you said you get one hour on the range -- but you have 50 bullets -- what happens if you're really slow and don't shoot all of them ? do you get a refund for the ones you didn't shoot ? do you have to give them back ? are you allowed to keep them and walk out with them ?
You cant buy any guns with an out of state ID, depending on what state you’re from!
States that border each other where I’m at in West Virginia, has a reciprocity to buy rifles and shotguns with each other with the exception of Virginia.
Good solid review. Im off to Colorado and Wyoming soon and will definitely be shooting, those prices are amazing, and the choice of handguns is good. I hope I get some similar deals when I get up to my stop!
As a highly restricted UK based shooter, any opportunity to use a full fat handgun, and of course, a semi auto rifle is a must!
Thank you, what kind of prices do you have?
Well constructed instruction video❤ but I kept thinking… this guy knows way too much for a first timer😂
Haha yeah I do know too much but only because so many people ask these questions, so I figured I would put them out there
Bring your own gun + ammo + eye / ear protection from Amazon, don't need the private lesson. That should drive the costs down.
Sure, as long as it's not your first time ever shooting.
Nice video! I have shot several times at Parma Armory. Great place. Would be great if you would consider opening/ establishing an outdoor range/ club in Northeast Ohio. West side area. A huge lack of decent outdoor range on west side.
We are looking for outdoor space if you have suggestions, please let me know
25 dollars for instruction? A gun range near me said 100 dollars. Ya'll have great price!
Thanks!
I've always wondered, can I as a European tourist get a shooting lesson in the US or do you need to be a US citizen for that?
Sounds like you could if you are from one of the 30 countries they approve. I'm guessing that includes most NATO countries.
In brazil I pay only for the ammo and targets, if you bacame a member of the range they give you a leasson on the gun that you gona use and the ammo has a little discount; 600 reais a year
That’s an interesting thought
I feel like this was a corny Sesame Street gun range episode
Well kinda but it shows what you need
In WA (Bellevue area)....most range require you be member, then additional fee to shoot 223/556.....then use their ammo. only. So lane cost + membership + AR lane + ammo. = $$$.
Yes, that’s correct
I've shot my ammo in Wade's every time. No membership required.
it cost a lot because you will start buying your own and go all the time
Yes true
Excellent video!
I remember decades ago when I used to shoot every weekend. A box of 9mm FMJ for range shooting was $6!
I just bought a new gun a few days ago. I'm sure I'll be shocked when I go to the range for the first time in decades!
Wow! Times have changed. Hope you have fun getting back to the range!
@@MeetRob the range will just be a one time thing to get familiar with the new gun. The new gun is to replace an older one for camping and fishing.
$20/HR at my local range.
That’s two dollars more an hour than us
What if it's my second time?
You should have some equipment to reduce your cost
Can you use your own firearm and ammo?
Yes
Where is this range located?
Parma,ohio
Can you bring your own gun and ammo?
Yes, you can
My local does $25 for a lane for an hour, $10 for rental, BUT you can switch them out with no additional fee, $2 for eye and ear, and I think targets start at $1.25. I went to another place in my state and I dont remember how much it was for the lane, but I went with a friend and we each picked a gun. It was $15 each. I asked if we could trade out, and they said yes, but its another $15 per trade. Oh, and to hold up your targets, if you dont bring your own tape, they charge you a $1 for a strip of tape. I don't know what eyes and ears were, but all I know is that for two people for an hour and two boxes of 50 9mm, it was almost $200!
Ridiculous 😂😂
@@fivestarlimos Needless to say, we will not be going there again. Their customers didn't even pick up after themselves! We got to our station and we had to sweep, push the table back to the line (it was moved), and remove the previous targets. The place was appalling!
That’s a good price, where are you from?
@@MeetRob Maryland! The first place is my local and I find their prices decent. But the other place, I have never been to a place that charged for the tape to put up targets or charged for each gun to rent.

Thank you!
Wish we had this in Canada. Sadly our government banned everything recently, looking forward to visiting on our US trip. This looks like a great facility!
Wow that’s not good at all, stop in and see us
Huge props for having Caniks too. My favorite handgun brand and I'm glad to see them getting more recognition.
According to our customers caniks are the new Glock
I hate these indoor ranges. They are very boring and the cost is too high. I’d prefer being a member of a rod and Gun Club where you can shoot all year around.
It’s a very old-school thought of you, but it is what you like so enjoy the outdoor range. We have a massive population by us that cannot shoot outside because we are not allowed to so if you don’t wanna drive an hour away and you wanna shoot indoors for convenience
Wish my small town had such a range.
Where are you from?
Damnnnn better prices there than where I go!
