A new indoor gun range in my town wants $500 a year for unlimited membership? Seems high although the place is nice and the technology is top of the line.

$120 for my outdoor place. Large well kept and has multiple pistol bays. Skeet range and well built rifle range but only goes out to 300. No silly Fudd rules.

What does $500 get you exactly? Any perks to being a member there? What's this technology you speak of? I mean if it's sex robots...

Most ranges by me are $10-25 a year.

Huge outdoor range near me, family membership for my old man and me runs something like $300 per year.

That's for unlimited range time at the pistol and rifle ranges (up to 300 yards), including pistol steels.

I refuse to spend the extra $200+ to upgrade to an unlimited sporting clays memberships, as it only saves you $5/100-shot round of clays.

$25 a year. Outdoor range with pavilion and nice benches and tables. Has a nice pistol range next to the rifle range. Rifle range has a 50yd, 100yd, 150yd, and 300yd bunkers. You can easily have 6 guys shooting on the rifle range at a given time There is a huge skeet range as well and 5 or 6 additional pistol ranges (some setup with obstacles). No range officer, no time limits, open 24/7-365, can bring 2-3 non members with each time. Only 25 bucks a year cant be beat. Hardly anyone there except when they do their skeet shootouts (50+ people are at the skeet range) and still hardy anyone at the rifle range (im usually there for 5-6 hours and see like 4 people on a busy day). The opposing range. I hardly ever go over to that side of the property. Only a 20min drive from my house.

$150/ year. Includes family and any kid under 18. Pistol, rifle to 200, and.country doubles shotgun. No amenities. Membership allows shooting on Mondays and Tuesday when the range is closed to the public. Its a pretty basic set up, but the people are nice and kid friendly.

$65/year.

We have a full trap range with voice-activated targets and a (somewhat crappy) rifle/pistol range with 25, 50, and 100 yard berms.

$40/yr for outdoor range: just lanes and benches. you bring your own targets. from 25 to 200 yards.
$60/yr for indoor: 24/7, not automated.
$70/yr for large outdoor with various bays (shotgun, pistol, archery) from 20 to 600 yards. Paper targets only.

I let all but the first one lapse this year. Public lands ftw.

I do have a couple sportsman club memberships for $15 with unlimited access. One with up to 500yd range and the other up to 700yd. plus archery and pistol rangers. Rifle ranges are the main reason for having them.

I shoot on my own land, but the range here is pretty nice and is $180 / yr with a 320 induction.

I am lucky to have enough land and space to set up my own range how I want.

$50 a year. It is outdoors. It has a rifle range, a black powder range, an 'auxillary range', a pistol range, a pistol range with steel plates, a shotgun patterning range, a skeet/trap range, a 3D archery range, and a pond to fish in.

$85/year and only about 3 miles from home.

I pay about 20 bucks a month for a brand new indoor range. Hours are really good.

Nearest outdoor range to me is about 30 bucks per year. I haven't gotten a membership in a few years because their hours suck and it's about a 30 minute drive.

Posted: 4/7/2016 7:57:47 AM EDT

[#20]

$175 a year for the outdoor range. If I wanted to join the indoor range it'd be about $300+ a year. I think $175 is too expensive; I wish I lived in a free state and had property to shoot on.

Outdoor club rifle/pistol range is $40/yr with an NRA membership required

Indoor range is city owned and I think it's $10/hr a lane - non-Magnum pistol only It reopened a few months ago, and I haven't been to it yet.

Posted: 4/7/2016 7:59:55 AM EDT

$35 annually for outdoor range. 25, 50, 100 & 200 yards. Shooting benches under pavilions.

Posted: 4/7/2016 8:03:39 AM EDT

[#23]

Varies. Pioneer Gun Club has an indoor and outdoor range, I think they're $350 per year and you have to be NRA member. Crossfire is indoor only, but last I checked they were reasonable at only $50 per year. Frontier Justice is the yuppie range, very nice and state of the art. They have a boutique in there...

I don't remember what they charge but it's high.

280dues + 180 assessment for a very large outdoor facility which includes a dedicated 600 yrd range.

Posted: 4/7/2016 8:07:47 AM EDT

[#25]

300/yr

Very low restriction outdoor range. Discounts on monthly matches and classes held there. 2 open bays to set up as I please, a few static lanes 25m/100m.

Shoot house is under renovation :(

Able to go there virtually whenever I like, of its after business hours, just need to coordinate.

$60 a year 200 yard rifle range with covered concrete slab firing line (even the benches are concrete) and a separate 25 yard pistol pit. Facilities consist of a cement blockhouse that stores targets for the bi weekly silhouette shoots and a porta potty sitting out in the desert sun. The range has no electricity or water.

$63 a year. Outdoor range. No issues with FA or rapid fire. Steel case and FJM is fine.

1k Lifetime.

It was a limited time offer. I think I am one of 5-6 and according to them I show up the most. Which is sad given my frequency.

$55/yr
It's all outdoor, but they have 50yd, 100yd, & 300yd ranges and skeet, archery and so on.

Posted: 4/7/2016 8:57:37 AM EDT

$125 / year for a pretty nice outdoor range. 300 yard rifle, large pistol area with multiple distances up to 60 yards, laden with steel, poppers, a couple plate racks, and various target stands. A 5-station trap range, and then an area with a bunch of steel for 3-gun-esque shotgun stuff. Various competitions held every month, with something for everybody like IDPA, cowboy action, benchrest, etc.

It's gated and access controlled, and volunteers maintain the hell out of everything. Always clean, broken shit is fixed quickly, and there's CCTV in use to catch and weed out the occasional shitbag that comes and destroys a bunch of pistol steel with a rifle.

I've always felt $125/yr was an absolute bargain for this place, and would have no problem paying $500 or even $1000/yr, considering how much I use it. I personally think $500/yr is really, really high for just an indoor range where you'll be limited on what you can do. Though If you don't have many options in your area, you gotta do what you gotta do.

$125 a year with a $325 initiation fee your first year.

20 lane 50/100 yard rifle range, a 10 lane 100/200 yard rifle range, a 30 lane 100 yard rimfire range with tons of steel targets, 5x 25 yard pistol pits with steel targets and 5 more 40 yard pistol pits, and a 5 stand clays setup.

Local indoor place is $230 a year. I don't go to indoor ranges.

Not a member of one. Glad I am able to shoot frequently with work.

Ranges round here are very similar. $100 / year but the first year has a one time $200 fee. So first year is 300, but 100 after that. Ranges are fairly nice with 300 yards max. Rules on bringing friends/family vary but are not too strict.

There is a local range that has 1000 yards, but it is 500 a year, and you have to get permission to bring a friend or family each time you do so.

$50 a year, 200yd rifle and a 25yd pistol pit. Lot of Fudds, but just the basic safety rules, no shooting trash, p/u brass/trash, and no pistol on the rifle side, the latter is the only one I have a problem with.
Then there's the screwy part, only open on weekends, and dawn to dusk, but it's close to home and the most affordable game for 100mi.

$45 a year for 24/7 access to a private 35 yard indoor range that handles up to 308, its a open range so it doesn't have lane dividers or anything so you can practice horizontal movement as well as approach/retreat from targets, a 25 yard outdoor pistol range, and a 100 yard rifle range, 2 trap throwers/ranges. Its a small town area so whenever I go shoot I am usually the only one there other than maybe some guys shooting trap.

Its 6 minutes away. I ended up down there a lot this winter shooting inside.

I have friends with private land we shoot out to 600 yards on sometimes as well. It is sort of surprising that there isn't more long range stuff in SD seeing as how the terrain is pretty well suited for it. The closest actual range that has anything over 300 yards is over 3 hours away.

The shittier outdoor option within an hour of me is $40/year but you don't get a lot out of it. When its quiet (i.e. nobody else there) its fun because you can do whatever you want. Otherwise its a bit fuddy due to the members, but for $40 a year - meh.

The better option within the same distance is $200/year which is steep in my opinion but could be worth it as they continue to improve.

My indoor range is $200 for a year with 12 free days of shooting. And the free days can be used years later. Also gives you a 10% discount on rentals, ammo, and targets.
And you can buy another year for $100 after you bought the first year.
Normal price to shoot for the public is $18.
