The indoor range I frequented increased the price of their reloaded ammo so much I started asking why? I explained that I could buy factory ammo, not 10% powder reduced reloads, for less, midwayusa.com has 9mm blazer brass for $9.99 a box of 50 or $99.90 NO Tax for 500. They were selling range reloads for $125.99 + tax for 500. My questions were based on economics and why I could buy Factory for less than reloads considering they were 10% underloaded and you could pick up your brass but could no take the range reloaded brass at those prices.
Without breaking any range rules My membership was canceled and I was asked to leave. I quietly packed up my bag and as I was leaving asked If I was welcome back and the reply was profanity laced diatribe. As I walked out the door I continued to be cursed with profanity by a female employee, the manager, who followed me out to my car harassing me along the way and intimidating me by standing so close I could smell her breath and barely open my door. the young male empolyee, a former cop, then gets involved acting bravada, throwing out chest and threatening to "kick my ass" as I pulled out of the parking lot. I did not play into their baiting and did not reply in kind. It was beneath me. They were acting like uneducated street thugs, teenage punks. It was unbelieveable. A real twilight zone moment.
Needless to say I came home and called my CC company and asked to reverst the charge, they said they wouldn't when I left asking If I was welcome to return or was 86'd, for my years membership, I just signed up for another year and this was my first visit.
Has anyone ever had such a bizzare range session? There is another indoor range near by I'll start going to. And..they not only have a lower yearly membership fee...They also get the same reloaded ammo and only charge $95.99 for 500 rounds. Considering the frequency that I shoot 100-200 rounds 1-2 times a week it is a substantial savings. I probably shoot 1,000 rounds every 4-6 weeks and spent over $1,700 just on the reloads @ the other less friendly customer orientated range also the $150 membership & targets.
