Review of Dons Guns

I had a friend in from out of state and decided to take him shooting as we had time to kill. My regular range recently had a fire and was closed for repair. Don's was the closest to where we were at the time, so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted when we walked in and he asked how he could help us. I said I'd like to rent a lane on the range. Price and time were never mentioned, which I felt was odd, but I went with it anyways. He took our ID's and had us sign the waiver. He asked if we needed ammo or brought our own. I told him we were shooting 9mm and needed a couple of boxes. He brought them to the counter and said, "That will be $40 per box." Astonished, I questioned him, "$40 per box?!" He replied, "Yep, that's the going rate." I don't pay $40 per box of 50 rounds of my hollow point carry ammo, let alone FMJ range rounds. Not wanting to disappoint my friend, I bit the bullet (no pun intended) and agreed. We shot for 30 minutes before the range light went out (we just barely burnt through the 100 rounds at that point). I went to settle up at the counter and range time for 30 minutes was $24.50. That's almost a dollar per minute at an unheated indoor range. I'll never be back to Don's. The funny part about the whole experience is that I remember seeing his commercials growing up, "I don't like to make money, I just love to sell guns." Nothing could be further from the truth! Stay away!
