Indoor Private Gun Range Concept

[Atrox88]

Just a thought; have you contacted an indoor range like Machine Gun Nest in Frederick or Maryland Small Arms in PG County for advice? I like what you are attempting and I have often wondered about the costs associated with the project

Right, at some point in time I haven't seen their name show up on the land line in a while so we gonna let sleeping dogs lie. LOL

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. My post isn't asking about financial matters, it's to explore shooters interest in the concept and their specific feedback.

You’ve priced out the air handling systems? A top grade air filtration system is far away the biggest single cost of the average range.

Considering he hasn’t posted in this thread since February, I’d say this idea is dead

Oh well. I was curious because I had talked with some folks at one indoor range and they said the cost of the air handling system was about 1/3 the total cost of the range.

I've heard the startup cost including filtration systems, permits, etc are astronomical. I think Machine Gun nest used a site like, go fund me, to finance it. You might want to look into that unless you are independently wealthy.
