Weekend before last the Owner advised that he was unable to find any Fiocchi so he had to buy Federals which were a bit higher. He quoted the price of $15 and some changer per box !

My home range (2 sporting courses, skeet, trap, pistol) allows members to shoot either 100 bird sporting course for $25, as long as you don't look at too many show birds (ProMatic card readers). We can bring one guest for the same price. Shells are $8.50/bx, but you never know what brand they will have. They allow you to buy 5 boxes to shoot 100 birds.
I recently shot another local course and, because I was a non-member, it cost me $53 for the round, targets only. And, shells were $12/bx.
I won't be shooting there much, going forward.
