I just joined a Rod and Gun club in Maine that is fortunate enough to have an indoor shooting range. There's an annual surcharge on top of membership dues to use the indoor range, and you have to be qualified on it as well.

No guests, though, and the range isn't open to the public; you must be a member to use it and must also pay the surcharge.

Maine, as far as I can tell, has no publicly accessible indoor ranges. For those TFL members that do have one in their area, what are the fees associated with using the range? Is there a limitation on caliber and type (i.e. lead, JHP, frangible, etc.) of ammo? Can you bring your own ammo or are you required to buy at the range?

My curiosity is getting the best of me . . .
