That is inexplicable.... maximum barrel length of 2 1/2 inches

There are plenty of ranges around Houston. I've been to American Shooting Center. They have a similar per-gun charge, but otherwise normal rules.
I do not understand the per-gun charge. It makes more sense to charge by the hour. There have been times I literally wanted to fire one shot, and I wouldn't pay $8 to do it.
