Very nice looking. When you start out with a pretty girl shooting the heart out of a shadowman, you can't go wrong. It looks nice and has lots of lanes. I am astounded that Indy has nothing similar. What's the deal?Midstate in Elkhart is a really first class operation. Check these guys out to see how it looks doing it right. Note what they charge for lane time. I was a member when it was called Shooters in the Mid 90's and it was nice back then. Here is their web site.

Apparently that's what Wyatt's wants. But you only get your piece of the company for an hour at a time.Investors? Partners?
I'm really disappointed, to tell you the truth. I really like Miles and the employees at the store. They've always been friendly and ready to help. However, every time I bring up the range and the prices, I get an attitude like that. I feel that I can understand Miles' position and the things he had to go through to build his range, but I just cannot justify spending that much money for membership just to get a $5 lane discount. I would have to go 40 times just to break even on lane fees alone. To suggest that I get a free membership when I buy a gun is irrelevant. A membership is meaningless if you still have to pay for your lane.
As much as I was looking forward to the new range, it's clear based on the responses I've gotten that my business is neither wanted nor welcomed, so I think in the future I'll stick to buying my guns from 21st Century, PSS, and Beechgrove and I'll do my shooting at my local outdoor range.
Don't frequent his establishment if it's not worth it to you. I think it's unfair to attack his business motives and judgement, however, until you've walked a mile in his account books.
Exactly. If you set the price high enough, he would only need one member. That would be the way to go, I think. Membership is $500,000 and you still have to pay $15 per hour. Not many of us would sign up, but he only needs just the one guy who does.Everyone of course has the ultimate power to vote with their dollars, and decide what's worth it to you. I can shoot at my house for free, but I'm considering joining Wyatt's. Why? I like what I've heard so far about it.
It does him no good to offer cheaper prices if the cost of capital and other costs are more than he's making. This is one of the problems with any new facility, it's always harder to compete on price with existing establishments. It seems like Wyatt's is trying to offer an enhanced experience.

I think most of us understand business. No one is looking for a free place to shoot.

I think everyone else is saying the same thing you are, dross. They are saying they aren't willing to pay the price that is being bandied about. (I think it isn't official, really.) If that's the case, they are voting with their dollars, as you suggest.
