Atterbury Shooting range - Page 3

Gunfan · 06-19-2009

Wanted to coach my 12 yr old a little so I take him to Atterbury. I wanted to shoot for about an hour, and took about enough ammo for that length of time. They charged me like 30 bucks! What??? Father & son sharing a lane popping off some .22's and it cost me $30 for an hour??? I'll make the drive to Crosley.

Should have cost you$7 for one hour and since your son is under 15 $3.50 for him. Total cost $10.50 for both of you for 1 hour

I questioned the price. The response was a simple "yup, two people, two hour minimum." Not to say that I had a problem with the range officers, I just thought the price was crazy. I realize the RO's don't decide on the amount of the range fees, and that's why I just dropped it. I may give Atterbury another shot. Thanks.

I like Atterbury and the range officers. They have always been polite and informative. The rules are there for everyone's safety. The range includes 7, 15, 25, 50, and 100 yards.

Great place to teach "boy scout safety" and I am serious about this, but when it comes time to teach real woods/life scenarios get away from the range officers at Atterbury, just be sure to continue teaching safety and common sense even in the woods!

I went to Atterbury alot when the new range opened. The range was awsome, but they raised the price alot after the private ownership took over. I think now it is over $20 dollars to shoot for 2 hrs! The target stand deposit is also a rip off! If you shoot the target stand made out of wood, you have to pay for it!! Oh well such is the price to have a place to practice the 2nd Amendment!

The target stands are now made of 5/8 rebar, a pretty tough metal. It takes lots of hits to shoot one into. The prices have been lowered and there is no minimum on the hours. $7 for 1st hour and $5 for each additional hour. Shooters under 15 can shoot for $3.50, must be with adult. Give it a try.

We go there a couple of times a week, and have never had a bad experience. The people who work there are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It is a great place to shoot.

I've been to Atterbury a few times and I've never had a bad experience. On my first visit, I got called out (my mistake), but during the down time, the RSO explained what I did wrong and why their rule is in place. No problem. The RSO and I joked about the reason. I feel very safe shooting in that facility.
