I've read that about Thunder Ranch. Haven't been to any of the big schools. From my reading, some (Gunsite) have ammo requirements(frangible) depending on the class.
Thunder Ranch has this on the front page of their website:
http://www.thunderranchinc.com/home/index.html "...THUNDER RANCH IS A FRANGIBLE LEAD FREE RANGE ALL COURSES EXCLUDING MRRC AND H.A.R.T ARE TO BE LEAD FREE FRANGIBLE..."
The only way a lead free indoor range would seem to make economic sense is if perhaps it were located in a large , urban area, with a huge demand for range lanes, and environmental code restrictions.
