Havent been to gun world in a couple of years. I like the facility but the attitudes were on the ****** side. Since I live in Midwest City its closerthan H-H so might give it a try again.
ha ha i go in once in awhile for a laugh at prices. i offered some counterperson like 900 for a steyr tmp 9mm like 2 years ago. needless to say the pistol is still sitting there on the shelf...
as far as ranges go, is it common practice to go down by the river off i-44 on the way to lawton?
And speaking of Banner, that has really gone downhill the last few yrs. I started going there about '90 or thereabouts, and it was good....target stands solid, brass policed up, weeds kept under control, decent chairs, sandbags and the office was clean, organized and all kinds of pickup brass was available for almost nothing. Then didn't shoot for quite a while and started again last winter. Really a disappointment. And the fee went up to $8 (which I guess still isn't bad....)
I am in Tulsa and have gone out to USSA in Owasso a couple of times with a buddy that is a member out there. Very impressed, believe I will be joining out there soon.
I've used their range several times and never seen Don be rude to anyone. And some deserved to be rude to. Now granted, the parking area and road to it isn't made for fancy cars and limos, but truck (which most shooters have) have no problem at all. And for $10.00 a day to shoot ($5.00 to shoot 25 clays) it's pretty decent. A country club it isn't. But it works.
Seems like every time I get in this forum I read someone busting the Gun World folks chops. I have been going there since they opened. I have always enjoyed the range as well as visiting with the staff. I enjoy being able to run over there during lunch, launching some rounds, sweeping up my brass and getting on down the road. There have been some turnover in employees but I have never had a problem with the staff, or the price for utilizing their lanes. Get off their backs! if you don't like them, don't use them. The rest of you guys that are looking for a good range, give them a try. Beats the long drive from east to west.

most people i assume share their stories (good bad and indifferent) so that others wont get "cheated"...but ya what you suggested is capitalism at its finest. i just dont see how they could still be in business with the prices they charge on guns. thats where warning people comes into play. i feel bad when someone drastically overpays, tells me about it like they are happy, and i just have to shake my head...
My question to everyone is what do ya'll think is fair price over dealer cost for a gun? And keep in mind you gotta keep the light on somehow. Input?
