I wont be there for the BB comp, but i was considering a visit..think i'll keep the cash and get a few more beers

first of all the prices they charge are for tourists.members pay less.
second u use one of their guns
you'll pay for the staff
you'll pay some insurance.

in my shooting days i'll made a .45 for about € 0.10 but when i had to buy a cartridge it costs me € 0.45.
and i was shooting with my own gun. when i practice at a private range i'll pay € 10.00 for one session.

so for an afternoon fun with some friends for the price less than 2 bell ringings who cares . i'm on holiday and it is better than in bed all day.
