I am a CHL/LTC Instructor, but I am also ADSI certified. I have my own private range but I have yet to build a covered shelter/roof to complement my long rifle area up to 1000 yards and my pistol/shotgun range to 50 yards. At my private range, I have no restrictions as to firearms or ammunition, where tactical deployment in a self-defense posture is permitted.

However, I brought 2 students to Hot Wells today for some basic pistol instruction (some guy identified himself as the tactical instructor and wasn't very happy I was teaching 2 students at his range; I understand it is a business) because of the anticipated thunderstorms. Besides their "tactical instructor", a young range officer, not sure if qualified, was very rude to one of my students.

As for most indoor ranges, they cater for the most part to a non-tactical clientele, so restrictions are understandable. I would suggest however a greater customer service orientation. The youngsters probably need to be "coached up" just a little.
