The equipment needed for an indoor range (plus the cost of the building itself, and opperating lights, HVAC etc) is CONSIDERABLY more than an outdoor range, which is basically just some lumber, dirt, and constructions costs - much of which can be DIY if you know how and have/rent the right equipment.

The bullet traps, mechanical target pulley systems, and air filtration systems of an indoor range are very expensive.
The problem and expense with outdoor ranges like ARC is the encroaching development and making sure, against all odds, that the bullets do not leave the range. Even ranges way out in the middle of nowhere can have that problem.
Indoor ranges have their walls to prevent that.

Those dents and holes at Red's can happen anywhere. Considering who shoots at these places sometimes, I'm surprised there aren't more.
