Thanks for all of the replies, y'all have given me some good ideas. Now can anybody front me about $30,000.00 to get started?

$175 for first year, and $75 per year after that. This includes a full 3d course, indoor heated 20 yard course, and about a half dozen very nice gun ranges of all sorts and an indoor pistol range.

I have a 15 yard indoor range in my basement, 60 yards outside (with 15' high platform), and for those times when i REALLY want to lob arrows, theres a 200 yard public range a few minutes from home thats rarely used.

My local Bass Pro has an archery range that is up to 20 yards. They charge $5.00 for one hour but they never pay attention, or care, if you stay longer. Sometimes the ranger never even charges.

One word. Advertisers.

The shop I shoot at durring the winter dosn't offer a membership. It's 7$ an hour flat rate.

I have two indoor ranges near me and one outdoor range. Great Bridge Archery is a 16 yard indoor range with about a half dozen lanes that charges $5 for as long as you want to shoot. Everybody there is very willing to help and are very friendly.

The other indoor range is Southside Archery and they charge $3 an hour. They are great also because they allow you to use their paper tuning stand, chronograph, and shoot their 3D critters for free.

My favorite though is Naval Air Station Oceana's outdoor archery range. They have targets out to 40 yards, a 12 (or maybe 15) foot high platform to shoot from and you can fit upwards of 15 shooters at a time. Oceana has a paper tuning spot and the total range fee is only $20 for a year!! Bring your own targets for shooting broadheads or the Game Warden that runs it may have your heart on a platter!! Otherwise use his targets for all your field tip needs. I just wish I had the money to put a roof over it for inclement weather use.
