I had to read the yelp reviews.
Their ratings are all over the map.
Love them, hate them.....it's crazy.

Makes me think some of the yelps are shill bids....fake reviews by friends.

Did they have any interesting .22 LR?

Plenty hoops. I signed up on Father's Day with the free membership offer. I shot there the following Tuesday with a friend Tuesday's 2 shoot for the price of one it wasn't busy so we each had our own lane. I brought 2 rifles and 2 pistols, after the lane fee, 100 rounds of CCI SV .22 LR, 100 rounds of .40 S&W, 100 rounds of brass cased PPU 7.62x39 and 2 targets I ended up spending $175.

The backstop is rated for .50 BMG however the largest caliber they allow is .308 Win/7.62x51. They had some 54r and I asked if I could shoot that there and Brian told me no that ammo was for outside sales. There is a lesser selection of ammo in the range than they had on the other side prior to the range.

It will most likely be a once a year kinda thing to shoot there. It's nice to shoot pistols at distances closer than 25 yards.

No they didn't. It would cost you $29.95 to find out

Just the Aguila...spied some CCI SV and Armscor before the owner engaged and notified me of the membership fee.

 I get that you gotta do what you gotta do to survive, but I just don't make enough disposable income as is.

I went to X-ring to look around and ask questions on guns and accessories.  Everyone there was helpful and friendly.  I don't know the "secret handshake" so they're very professional. I don't shoot there due to the following:

1) Location (I live in town)
2) Price
3) Hoops you have to jump through (but I understand it's a liability issue)
4) HFR is closer and lets you do what ever you want as long as it's done safely.  They have the staff watch you for a little bit to see how safe you are.

I look at the situation at XR as a good thing.  They have probably saved me thousands of dollars in unfired rounds.

I really like HFR,   only thing that stops me from visiting more often to shoot is the parking situation.  I have a long drive over there and trying to find parking once fighting the traffic and travel time really sucks.

I enjoy the drive out to Kokohead and seeing fellow 2a members without paying a snobby membership fee. If they rename it Xring Country Club Id probably be inclined to join provided they have the amenities of a country club such as dining, bar nice landscape. But a country club in downtown Waipahu is out of place.
I understand it is expensive to have an indoor range but I agree with Heavies that the business model they adopted is not palpable to most shooters. I just cant afford to not only shoot there but to shop. So unless they are like Costco shoppers like myself I wont go there. They came out with marketing similar to cars. Attractive girls with one being able to shoot somewhat. Short term attention grabbers then the fizzle.
Im studying freight forwarders as thats what Im willing to pursue as an option for my purchases. If I need smithing services I have resources. If I need coaching I have resources that are free and are more than happy to travel to Hawaii at the endof the fiscal year. Some of you have participated. It was awesome. Again lots of alternatives.

Just like Costco, ... if you take advantage of the place regularly and frequently, the cost is worth it.  Paying the fees knowing you might not go but once every 4-12 weeks seems like a waste to me.  Then when you add the ammo cost, it starts to be more negatives than positives.

Your Costco example doesn't fly for me. You see when you go to X-Ring, you have to buy a bunch of expensive ammo and use it up there. And you can't even take the brass home with you. So I relate it to going to Costco and having to buy 30 hotdog/coke combos and having to eat them there before you leave. 


 

Do you have to shoot all the ammo you buy at XR Range, or can you take a box or two home you didn't have time to finish -- just can't bring it back to shoot?

Costco's attractiveness is bulk item discounts
BTW, anybody who wrote in favor of the XRing range get any considerations such as perks? discounts?
I wonder how much traction there is for a public range on the west.

I wrote a letter and got no offer for anything in return. I mentioned this to the owner one day and she thanked me. Certainly not what I was promised in return.

X-Ring Security Rapid Fire Certification (pistol):

I shot at Xring a couple of times.  It's a nice range and I enjoy shooting there because is air conditioned and there is a bit more space there than HF&R.
