So I took my wife out to Ready Aim Fire in Bristol this morning for her first time shooting my SR45.  We also rented a Glock 19 and bought some 9mm ammo.  Overall I have to say I was pretty happy with it.  I liked it much more than Shore Shot.  The pricing on the rental and ammo was much better, it was less crowded, and the staff just seemed friendlier.

 

She did much better than I expected with the SR45, and the Glock 19.  It's nice to see my wife change from an anti gun liberal into a blossoming pro second ammendant woman.  The fact that she now wants a Glock 19 is an added bonus.

Also, the flat rate of $20 per person for an unlimited amount of time versus Shore Shot's $20 per person per hour was much better.

i agree the pricing is better, but it does get busy at peak times, and man is hot in there! sometimes there r people there that just scare me (new people renting). how much was ammo? last time i was there they wanted $30 box for 9mm

It was pretty hot in there.  A box of 50 of 9mm was $27.  Not great, but the last time I was at Shore Shot they were charging around $40.  I guess we were pretty lucky with the amount of people there.  At most there were 3 other people there at a time, and they all seemed pretty well disciplined.

Joe and his crew are great!

If Joe was the owner then he was the guy that helped us out at the counter, and was very friendly.  I also saw that a couple guys were using steel cased ammo which was nice since I've heard of indoor ranges not allowing it.  I was allowed to use my own ammo for mine, but had to buy ammo from them for any of the rented guns.

Ammo prices fluctuate worst then the derivative markets! Every three days as new stuff becomes available we change prices, man I miss the old days.

Are there places to like less?

The other lakewood shop? Lol

I will never give Shore shot my business, IMO the guys there a douche nozzles, i would tell you what happened to me there but its already been mentioned in another thread, and it happened while meeting another forum member for a transfer.... 

RAF clientele scares me. Last time I went about 2 years ago as I was checking out a bachelor party came in with a bunch of totally clueless guys getting rentals no problem. I was glad as hell to get out of there. It also used to be word on the street that gang members frequented there, no idea if it was/is true.
