Range prices!

[olskool]

boy i am glad to be a poor ol redneck that don't know no better to live here in the jungles of s.c. where i walk outside my house cross my dirt road and shoot on my 100yd+ range, and all i have to do is pay my crazy high priced land taxes every year on something that i paid for years ago and the gov. will let me keep it to enjoy...... for now

Boy did I get a rude awakening on range prices! Since moving to KY from MI it's like night & day I was paying $7.50 per hr. @ my favorite range in Taylor, MI, now that I'm down here in KY, the local range that is the closest has range prices of $25 per hr. I was checking out the membership fees & that seems to be the way to go (a weekday membership runs $199 per yr.) so I broke it down & the cost would be about $16.70 per month. So I think I'm going to gift myself with a membership for 2012

Here is an addition to my orginal post.

They're raping you. In KY, those are CA prices. I'm a member of a FL gun club in a pretty populated area and it's $100/yr. unlimited shooting with about 10 types of ranges on 150 acres.

Where I am Jacksonville, FL there are two close ranges both are per day prices and you don't have to buy anything from them except range time...

I'm in Orange Park, just outside Jax.

On the Westside, there is "Gateway Rifle and Pistol Club"...$100 initiation fee, then $112/year.

Two 100yd rifle ranges, a 200yd rifle range, 5 pistol ranges with steel plates, a 7/15yd pistol range, a BIG (25 table?) silhouette range (.22lr only, has fixed steel targets, too)...a skeet/trap range, etc, etc...

I think it's a great value, and it's a well maintained facility. Nice clubhouse with indoor bathrooms, discounts on ammo for members...it's a great range.

I pay $30 a year for my range. Nothing else after that. 25, 50, 100, 200 and 300 yard ranges. Trap range and archery course also. In the winter we have a heated building where you open windows and shoot 50/100 yards from benches. If I had to pay everytime out my wife would not let me go.

 

[Justin Ellis]

Free Range in a state park 1 Hour outside of Charlotte NC. Awesome covered benches and while its only 100 yards you can never beat free. Gets busy though as you can imagine. I pay 225 for a 15 month membership for the family in Greensboro at Calibers indoor range.

 

[saskplcguy]

Wow, can't imagine paying hourly fees to go shoot. Here in Saskatoon (Western Canada) it's $200/year for 200 yard outdoor rifle range, 100 yard outdoor pistol range, 200 yard silhouette range, skeet thrower/shotgun area, and 2 25 yard heated indoor ranges. 24x7 access with magnetic key card.

Of course, the down side is that ARs (including my M&P15-22) are restricted to range use only here.

 

[EarlFH]

Wow! we pay $40 per year, and that's it. It's an outdoor range, but kept up well. Room for about a dozen rifle shooters, three pistol ranges, a shotgun range, and a small bore range.(rimfires only). We get a membership card with a combination to the front gate lock. We can go, and come whenever we want to, day or night. Of course it's not much fun in the winter here in Montana.

I hear ya on that! Mind you, it's about 30F outside today. A genuine heat wave in Canada in late December!

Yea. It's actually up to 40F here today. Really unusual for us. We've had several days in a row of this kind of weather.

$40 a year...that's crazy talk!
The $30 for 2 hours range I spoke about has an annual membership for $400! Their sporting clays/skeet shooting per round is more expensive then the other two places I would go to. They're pretty darn popular, though. A lot of events go down there. I told myself I would never go there because of the expensive range fee but I went over a month ago and I kind of like the layout. A lot of local outdoor ranges have restrictions on steel-core and I guess they do not so I went to check it out.

We don't have any restrictions here, but there is one, or two days a week that the pistol ranges ae used for local police, Highway Patrol, or Park Rangers to shoot for quals.

The ammo restriction there is common in my area as during the dry season, ranges really worry about the steel cores or bi-metal ammo causing sparks and having hill sides catch on fire. It isn't a problem more towards the coast here in CA but I am inland so I have to worry about that. I decided not to go with a particular rifle that is popular to shoot with cheap surplus ammo (mild steel core inside) so I won't have to go to that expensive range out of necessity

Haha no kidding! Me visiting a local indoor range I frequent would pay for 3 sessions at yours. Pretty much why I can't shoot as much as I want to lately. I have trouble paying for ammo let a lone the range fees too =/

 

[Gman56]

I guess bieng in commie nj does have its benefits. I shoot at range 14 1.5 miles from my house.It is on FT.Dix 22o meter rifle 25 meter pistol and skeet and trap ranges $60 ayr plus $3 dollars an hour!It is a great place to shoot.$25 DOLLARS AN HOUR OUCH!!! I used to shoot on range 15 a known distance range 600 yards. Old wwI range with pitts.That was fun until. I have to find a range in Severville Tenn or get 10 acres of land and set-up a range.

 

[cballman]

Just south of Lexington is a place called Canoe creek. They have outdoor ranges and elk hunts. A place is going to open up in Brannon crossing around Feb. or March. Dont know what the prices will be yet. Then you could also look at the Bluegrass Sportsman league just out of Wilmore. If you need any other help just PM me when you can and I will help you out.

If it was me, I would be saving like mad to buy some acreage. A nice mix of tillable ground and woods will pay the taxes and then some and give you a place to shoot and hunt. Few things are a better investment and more fun than ground, especially ground that pays for itself.

 

[grey2393]

At my local club in NY. $75 a year includes pistol range, 100 yard range, 2 trap ranges, walk in the woods blackpowder range and 26 bale walk in the woods archery range and clubhouse. Not a bad deal.
