? your ranges membership FEE?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ? your ranges membership FEE?

Posted: 6/4/2001 8:18:59 AM EDT

What does the your range charge for yearly membership? Is it indoor or outdoor is there also a per visit fee? Does it include family members ? Can you bring a guest? Is it a privately owned range or is it own by the members? In Birmingham AL area its around 100-200.00 for the member owned ranges and 200-400.00 for the for-profit ranges but they have better facilities. The one indoor range has alot of options but for everything about 400.00 per year. Most include immediate family and can bring guest on limited basis for additional charge. So how does this compare with your area?

$30 a year. Private range. Family membership is $40. I can shoot whenever I want free of charge except when the club is having a shoot . I can bring as many as 3 people before a RO is needed. The range is 25,50,75 & 100 yards. Covered firing point. 1 small building on site and is about a mile back in the woods.
The other club I belong to is $85 a year.
I can bring a guest once and he/she can shoot if they pay the "green fee" same as me. It is usually $12. Depending on the shoot our ammo is provided. For service rifle matches no hand loads allowed. we use Dept. of National Defense ranges which are very good to terrible.

Hey slidelock! best deal in town right now is the FOP range. I used to belong to excaliber but they are WAY overpriced for what they offer. It is virtually useless for rifles.

Being that your in BHAM come check out our group. We hold monthly shoots and just got our CMP affiliation.

Fort Bliss Rod & Gun Club, El Paso TX
1 year membership is $70 no per visit fee for members. Outdoor ranges from 25 yards out to 1000 yards. Many different ranges for pistol, rifle, plinking, black powder, etc. very nice. Only things I don't like are that they are closed on Mondays (I get a lot of Mondays off) and they don't allow kids under 12 so I gotta take my 7 year old son out in the desert to shoot.

IWLA - Izaak Walton League of America. Northern Virginia

Outdoor, 19 station covered range. 25,50,100 yard positions.

Yearly fees of $100.00 with no per-visit fee. Open from around 8am to dark. Schedule changes on weekends and winter hours.

There is a range officer on duty at all times when the range is open.

This is only about 9 miles from my house and is very convenient (DC AREA).

Only drawback. No FULL AUTO.

Still looking for a range in the area which allows Full Auto.

I use the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore (I'd better I'm a trustee there). We have outdoor range facilities in Marriotsville MD. We have about 70 positions on our 100 yard range (25/50/75/100), about 10 positions on our bench rest range (25/50/100 - benches are cemented to the pad); 70+ position pistol range (25 & 50 yards); 15-16 positions on a 200 yard range (for high power - plus intermediate berms for silloughet shooting); 2 voice operated Trap ranges; an archery range. At least 1 range master is on duty at all times. We have a variety of events throughout the year (blackpowder, high power, trap, hunter sight-in, pistol, summer biathalon, etc.)

Costs:
NRA Memebership is required (I'm a life member so I don't have an annual fee)
Membership in an associated club (my club, Westinghouse Rifle&Pistol, membership is $10/year and IIRC ours is the cheapest)
Range Badge is $50 per year. Range badge entitles you to 1 lane on a range, you may bring as many guests as you like. But only 1 person may be shooting at a time per range badge.

Tucson Rifle Club - $30 individual, $35 family annual memberships. $4.00/day/person for non-members and guests. It's on BLM land, privately run. Outdoor, covered shooting lines. 500m rifle silhouette range, 2-100 yard ranges (one is 100 yard ONLY, the other is any distance out to 100 yards), 100 yard .22 rimfire rifle silhouette range, 200m handgun silhouette range, 100m law-enforcement range, 200m cowboy action/practical range, 1000 yard range with 600 and 800 yard shooting positions.

I think the fee is going up $5 this year, though. Still the best deal going, IMHO. It's just 35 miles from where I live.

Beer slayer, I agree and shoot ipsc and 3-gun there. I am not a member(though I have considered joining) because I am about 65 miles away. I also have a secluded area near my home where me and friends can shoot that gives a range of 100+ yards and we have a few gongs set up and two or three target stands. Its 5 min from my house, but I am afraid adjoining property may be developed and ruin our spot.
Hey I plan on shooting the 3gun match this Sat at 1:00 maybe I will see you there.

$400 is WAY too much, IMHO.

I belong to two great clubs. One is an private indoor range (Goodyear, ZRC)that runs around $50 for a family.
Membership gets you just about unlimited range time, all new guns at dealer (club has FFL) and dealer on most accessories too, including Dillon.
Second is a huge outdoor range (Tusco).Going to be around $50 for family next year, but it's well worth it.

I belong to the Bullseye indoor range in Wichita. A yearly membership is $17.50 for a single or $27.50 for a family. The range has an indoor pistol range that costs $6.00 per hour with a membership. They also have a 25, 50, 75, 100 yd indoor rifle range that costs $8.50 per hour.

The range also has a full service gun shop. Members get a discount on all of the firearms that are for sale. It's not a big discount, but the member prices are pretty darn good IMHO.

$100/year. Indoor range to 25M in town and an outdoor range to 200yds in the sticks. Unlimited use, no per visit fees. Girls shoot free when accompanied by a member/paying shooter. The per visit cost is outrageous for the outdoor range, and pretty high for the indoor. If you shoot more than once every couple months, then it pays to spring for the membership. If you're a gal, then just know someone who is a member.

$0. live in new mexico, several million acres of national fores and navajo rez to shoot on, town has a free range also, no range masters to hassle with, on you own. I always shoot alone or with friend only.

Guess I'm the top payer here.

$250 a year +$1 every time you want to shoot on the psitol or rifle range or you can buy a rifle/pistol card for $25 that covers the hole year. I buy the card.

rifle range: 50/100/200 & 300 yard ranges.

pistol range

pistol pits (can also use rifles) where you can more or less do what you want, fake buildings you can practice in for home defense, steel targets for & pistols

9 skeet and trap towers

club house

gated with the combination provided to dues paying members.

guest MUST be accompanied by member & pay $5.

...and the one thing I don't like, must be a NRA member, GOA or JPFO not accepted. I think the NRA provides funds for up keep or something.

I pay $125 a year for my local indoor range. I believe I only went there 5 times last year, but I've gone to outdoor ranges about 10 times and I don't have a membership there. This year I've only been to my local range twice since I have renewed my membership. I don't know why I keep on renewing my membership for the indoor range when I don't even go there often enough.

I belong to two ranges.

In Portland I lucked into a deal - life time membership at "The Place to Shoot" plus one year in the NRA for $35.00. Not so bad. It is an indoor range only. I think range fees are like $3.00 per lane.

In Medford - Medford rifle and Pistol club - $50.00 per year. This gives you access to the indoor range virtually anytime you want (it has a padlock on the door - no RO - most of the time you have your own private gun range). Range fees are $1.00. Additionally, you get a pass to the county's outdoor range - there are a total of 10 ranges that vary from 50 to 600 yards.

Talk about a charmed life!

I shoot at 2 local "range" and they are both free.

First range is actually 80 acre rock pit which I have permission from the owner to shoot (got a key to the gate). It has one 100 yard by 300 yard section with 20 ft high pile of dirt and stone on 3 sides and this is where several of us has setup some target holders and steel plates. There are some large boulders and "pits" in this area so it makes a perfect "combat" course.

Second range is 25 acre private land next to a state park. The owner is a shooter and likes to have people come shoot as long as we are safe and don't act stupid. There is 200 yard cleared area in the back with dirt mound at the end. This year several of us setup some target stand at various dustances from 10 to 200 yards. Occasionally we go to help clear weeds and keep the "range" clean.

There are several indoor and outdoor ranges nearby but I have not been to any of them in many years.

I feel lucky to have access to such "range" to shoot.
