Range USA is on its third try in the Memphis area. In years past they've tried twice by taking over existing indoor ranges that went broke. They failed too. 
This time they built their own place. Gotta admit, it looks nice. Big store section with a very wide assortment of guns and accessories. 20 shooting lanes. Some of which are rifle rated. Nice place.
Just one tiny , little problem. Their prices are too high and they aren't getting a whole lot of business.

Mogadishu On the Mississippi is known for its crime, issues at ranges/stores of the “thugs” wanting to do “no good things”.Range USA is on its third try in the Memphis area. In years past they've tried twice by taking over existing indoor ranges that went broke. They failed too.

Tough biz area for firearms.
A friend runs a store there.
I would not want to. You get mostly hood rats and not folks on the right path of life

Yep, much better to get that hot brass landing behind the lens of your shooting glasses…
Yeah I raised that concern.
About 15 years ago an agency guy on the Federal side was doing certification for a SORT (SWAT) stuff and we shoot a multi weapons course with a 4 man team (actually 2 2 man teams) we usually ran it without hats because we had to dawn gas masks at the midway point.
Before that you are moving forward engaging with MP5’s and handgun 2 side by side. Brass fell just perfectly from the MP5 and stuck to his eye. He lost the eye. (Which either way he’s probably lost it but MP5 has a fluted chamber so the spent brass has lines all around it so I always wondered if that made it stick more or the heat)
So from them in 100% ball caps were mandatory
I have seen a lot of weird oddities in ranges I’ll say that!

I am a basic member of Range USA and try to shoot once a week-
I also am a member of our private members range here near Memphis-
I also try shooting rifles weekly at MSSA but sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate-
I rather like Range USA-staying warm or cool is a nice feature-

Hi,
There's a Range USA less than 20 minutes from me. I've been checking out its website but I'm not of the mind to check out the facility. Their lanes are only 15 yards long. Their membership is $10 more per month than I'm paying now at my current facility, which gives me a choice of two different indoor ranges, both with 25 yard lanes. I'll admit, it looks like their ammo prices are better than at my range, but I order online delivery anyway. I wish them luck. The more 2A, the better!
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

Wow-15 yards is a lot short-
Ours is 25 yards which is still exceedingly short for any type of rifle use-yet they allow .308 and 30-06 and up-
Interesting to see how fast they have grown. Hitting 50 locations in a little over a decade shows there is real demand for indoor ranges that offer training and rental programs in one place. The numbers on new shooters and students are pretty big too, so it makes sense they keep expanding into new states. Good to know they have more spots planned for next year if anyone is waiting on one closer to home.Range USA, the nation’s largest operator of indoor gun ranges, has reached a milestone: the opening of its 50th location, in Chester, Virginia. Since its founding in 2012, the Cincinnati-based chain has grown into a powerhouse in firearms retail, training and community education, now welcoming shooters in over 14 states.
Range USA’s expansion shows no signs of slowing. Two additional locations are slated to open soon in Smyrna, Tennessee, and Monroeville, Pennsylvania. In 2024 alone, the chain welcomed 350,000 new shooters, contributing to a total of more than 10 million visitors and more than 300,000 students (classes and private lessons) trained since its inception.
