Yea, it sucks. There are some much better outdoor ranges down south that don't tether the pistols to the wall. Not worth the money. I took the GF there just for the novelty of seeing her shoot a pistol. If you are from a country that allows gun ownership and you are used to the ranges (or woods) there, you will be sorely disappointed by what Lotte World has to offer.

It's too expensive here in Korea. I'm always glad when I'm heading back to my home back in the States on break, as I can shoot all I want. I have muzzleloaders to shoot, plus I have some black powder cartridge arms for which I do my own reloading and shoot them for next to nothing.

I miss my guns as well. Can't wait until I go back to the US for my vacation in February. I will be making several trips down to the indoor range to get my fix.

To avoid making a new thread:

Does anyone know of any ranges to the south then? Gwangju in particular would be great, but anything would be good.

The baddest gun I ever shot fired a .45-70 Government round. I wouldn't want to get shot with one of those things.

In Korea can you get powerful cartridges? I don't want to fire boring rounds like 9mm that I've fired a bunch of times before. I want to fire rounds that hurt to fire.

That's one of my favorite rounds. I have an original 1873 Springfield trapdoor .45-70. Also, I just picked up a .45-70 barrel for a Remington rolling block action that I hope to put together this winter break when I visit back to the States.

My two other favorite cartridge arms are a .50-45 Remington rolling block carbine (such as the U.S. used against Korea in 1871) and a 7.7mm Japanese Arisaka my dad picked up in Incheon at the end of WWII. Along with them, I have several muzzleloaders--some original and others reproductions; they make lots of smoke and noise.
