Apparently I'm the only one who voted for Sand Springs Sportsmans Club.
That's fine...I don't need you guys out there clogging up the benches.
I think I would add one more thing to consider for the Tulsa Firearms discussion.
If you own a business, you sometimes have to decide to carve a niche out for yourself in order to make your money. That niche is usually some combination of unique service offering, and targeting a specific socio-economic segment.
I think for TFA, they simply decided that they wanted to cater to a white collar crowd. They consider it a premium to shoot indoors in the Oklahoma summers, and Oklahoma winters, and they know there is a big enough white collar crowd who's willing to pay for it.
That doesn't make them bad for what they charge. I don't get pissed off that Mahogony's Steak house charges half a car payment for dinner. I know its a nice treat for the upper white collar crowd to enjoy, and I just head on down to Sidelines Sports Bar and Grill for my $10 steak.
Mahogony isn't running a "bad business" I'm just not their target market.
To me a "bad business" is a company that treats their clients rudely, swindles them, or simply offers services that are less then described. TFA in my mind isn't any of those things. It's just expensive as hell.
