I don't like shooting high-powered rifles indoors or being near someone else shooting one indoors. The concussion is a lot stronger.

How do you practice long range rifle shots indoors? I can't think of a single benefit of an indoor range over an outdoor except climate control. |

Considering 90% of my shooting time goes to handguns, I don’t.  There’s an indoor range near here with 100yd lanes, but it’s kinda a hike and they’re now mask nazis, so fuck ‘em. |

I don't mind them for handgun shooting, especially on a shitty day, but for rifles I prefer a long outdoor range.
Nothing says "reeeeeee" like the jackass next to you shooting his unsuppressed 10.5 AR pistol with a brake on it, indoors. Yeah, been there done that. |

Nope, for these among other reasons:
1) Heavy metals poisoning is much worse on indoor ranges. 2) Most indoor ranges stop at 25 yards and require paper targets. I have access to outdoor ranges that go to 200 yards and have steel targets. 3) Noise is much worse on indoor ranges. Having someone do mag dumps with a braked AK in the lane right next to you is annoying after a while. 4) I find that most indoor ranges rent guns vs. outdoor ranges do not. The noob factor goes waaaayyyy up when anyone can walk in off the street and start blasting for the cost of a box of ammo. |

Holy shit, this might be one of the biggest post fails of 2021.
OP have you ever shot at a range with boatloads of steel reactive targets from handgun distance to 1k plus? Good luck trying to do that indoors. Punching paper sucks. It’s for load development. Period. |

I’m sure they’re fine if you don’t shoot farther than 10-15 yards. I have no use for them.

My local outdoor range is far superior to indoor. I get the bay to myself, pick any distance I want out to 200y, half day rental is $5, and most importantly I dont have to stand still. Indoors have some usefulness, but given the choice I'm going outdoor 90% of the time.

The best indoor range I've been to had 100yds to get to, but it is much better to get to the outdoors and ring steel.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How about fuck no. OP IS WRONG. have to agree with this. i belong to two outdoor ranges. one goes to 500yards the other to 600. im not aware of any 600 yrd indoor ranges. there is a rather 'plush' range in my town that does have 100 yrd range indoors. its a long 'tunnel' made out of large conduit with some sort of electronic target at the end. not used it, ive seen it and its weird. and around n. ga. the ranges are nice to get out to in the woods. dont mind the drive. |

Quoted: While not universally true, it’s very much so for me and I assume many others, as well. They usually don’t require a mini-road trip out to the boonies, while outdoor ranges usually do. It’s also nice having the weather be a complete non-issue, and to have easily adjustable distance on the target retrieval system (which also gets rid of the concern over hot/cold ranges). You are a very low quality troll. Outdoor ranges completely blow indoor ranges out of the water. Snow, cold, rain, wind and heat all make it more challenging. Steel pistol pits and 750 yard ranges at my local club have me shooting in all weather. They are that much better. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: lol, no. How do you practice long range rifle shots indoors? I can't think of a single benefit of an indoor range over an outdoor except climate control. Hey, 1 outta 5 aint bad - if you're a rookie.  I've highlighted your primary issue above. 2. Light control. How the fuck do you do lo-light training at an outdoor range, 2PM? At my indoor range, I simply turn off the lights. We have a bay to the outside where we can drag in an ambulance, or other emergency vehicle, and the range has strobes and sirens for effect. 3. One of my indoor ranges has a full 360 degree shoot house with an observation deck above. We can create a slew of different scenarios a lot faster on the indoor range, than we can on the outdoor ranges. 4. Bullet control. Even on well designed (indoor or outdoor) ranges, with properly designed backstops, baffles and shooting ports, there is always a possibility of a ND or AD where a muzzle is not pointed at the backstop. I have far more (better) ability to contain errant rounds on an indoor vs outdoor range. 5. Noise control. Population growth is (albeit sometimes slow) exponential. The outdoor range of today with the nearest neighbor being 2 miles away may have neighbors 200 yards away in 20 years. Unless you are grandfathered in, a fair amount of your energies might need to be reallocated to defending against these nuisance complaints. Edit to add: My distinct preference is to shoot outdoors. Better ventilation, almost always better light/visibility, wider selection of targets and distances (I can shoot steel at all of my indoor ranges except one), lower SPL at outdoor ranges (barriers can add up to 3dB of sound) and the ability to host larger groups of shooters. |

I've never shot at an indoor range, unless you count opening the garage and/or bedroom windows and shooting starlings here at the house with a .22 and can when it's really cold or really hot out.
ETA: The stories of the Houston Warehouse fascinate me. But otherwise it's pretty hard to find indoor ranges that are long enough to interest me. The outdoor range at my house goes to 500. The local private range down the road goes to 1250. |

Indoor is a last resort.
Outdoor shooting spot is further away, but I can shoot the fuck out of my steel targets. Plus I’m the only one there apart from whoever comes with me. I’ve seen a shitload of yahoos at the indoor range, and it’s not as easy to relax around strangers who are new to or careless with firearms. But it’s close by, and sometimes an hour on the indoor lane is just enough to scratch the itch. |
