Default RE: Shooting ranges and costs

The shooting club range I'm a member of is open every day unless a pre arranged event is going on. We have backstopsat 7, 15, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 yards. The cost up till this year was $60 but was raised to $90 this year for some major range improvements including more shooting lanes and berms between the shorter pistol lanes and the longer rifle lanes. It's about 12 miles from my house but takes about 20 to 25 min to get there due to the gravel and dirt roads for half the trip.

I use to shoot at the public range but found it cheaper to join the club since the public range is 45 miles away and cost $6 to $7 to shoot. They are open Wed. through Sun. and I work Wed. through Sat. so the times don't work for me. Between the cost to shoot and the cost of gas it made more sense to join the club.

A friend of mine is a member of a club across town that costs around $100 or so per year and has a much larger membership than the club I'm a member of. They have separate archery, pistol, rifle and recently added a 1000 yard competition type range (I'd love to get a chance to shoot on that one). The rifle range has ranges out to 300 yards. The location is too far for me to join that one so I just go out there when I can with my friend.
