Someone left a review on their Google reviews calling them out for their AI slop.

Plus, the $20 000 lifetime membership feels like a slap in the face

$20k for a range that’ll probably get shut down in 8 years for some bullshit compliance issues, or other government regulation.

Or shutdown before then and pocket all that money from the $20k memberships. The AI makes it seem like a pump and dump scenario.

My other concern be losing membership because of real or made-up reasons. So, the legal would need to address that before anyone drops 20k on it.

I mean yes, but you’d probably have some sort of legal recourse in that scenario.

I’d give the benefit of doubt to the operator of the range not having ill intentions. You don’t jump through all of the hoops you’d need to jump through to scam a bunch of people. There are FAR easier schemes to play out that wouldn’t have your name attached to multiple documents and approvals.

I can’t say the same for some gov’t drone doing an inspection. The disgusting actions of gov’ts in this country over the last ten years should be enough to convince anyone of their willingness to destroy communities and organizations in the quest for votes.

Or that there are any firearms left in private hands in eight years….

Yeah. Sigh.

That picture is a reason for range inspection alone.

And they are saying there will be 15 shooting lane? I can't imagine this not being always full with. So paying 20k to be told "sorry, all lanes are full please wait"

My 280$/year range offers 10 lanes of 25/50/100 yards (unrestricted firearms only), 10 lanes of 15/25/50 yards (both restricted and unrestricted allowed in those), clay shooting (dedicated trap stand and sporting clays with 14 independent throwers ), 8 shooting lanes for bows and 8 shooting lanes for crossbows.

Maybe I am extremely lucky but I can't understand paying the price they advertised for this small a range.

Yeah it really comes down to where you're located. In BC i manage to find a range that went out to 1000 yards. In Toronto I can't find shit except indawoods.

That looks like a decent site. Where?

Quebec

u/altiuscitiusfortius Apr 01 '26

Quebec? Those are Quebec prices? That's insane

For those who don't know, wages in Quebec are about 20% lower than elsewhere in canada, but they make up fir this by having everything cost 20% less.

Which actually makes it a great travel destination. Your money goes twice as far as it does in Vancouver or Calgary or Toronto

Ya, they should have given ownership rights, that might make it more palatable… should they get shutdown at least you’ll have some equity.

u/Unfortunate_Sex_Fart al Apr 01 '26

You’d have to be insane to pay $20k for a lifetime membership when the future of our sport is on life support.

u/1anre Apr 01 '26

Who has $20K to burn in this current economy though?
