RE: should I join this shooting range club whatever?
My local range has a skeet/trap field, nothing like what yours is, a rifle range that I think goes to 150 yards, an indoor pistol range and indoor archery and out door archery ranges. It has a pond, but I looked at it once and I don't know if I would fish in it, or if you even can.
This place the last time I checked was 200 bucks a year and you had to donate X amount of hours for a booth at a fair or helping with leagues and what not.
I would pay 50 dollars a year just to use an indoor archery building to be honest.
And as another reference we have a public skeet/range that is pretty simular to what your local club sounds like as far as skeet and trap fields. They also have an indoor pistol range (two lanes I think). They charge 6 dollars a round (25 clays) per person. They also rent guns for a dollar a round but you have to buy thier ammo. Between me and my girlfriend I could rack up more than 50 bucks in less than a month if i went every weekend and shot two rounds a person.
I would do it, I wish like heck we had something like that in my area. I would be all over it.
Heck I would pay some farmer 50 bucks a year just to use a field to throw skeet and shoot in. I would get my own thrower and clays.
