i think it 45$ to get the membership and 25$ every year to renew it. Its all outdoor, however there is an indoor part but it is strictly for IDPA, bullseye, etc...

I'm down south of Houston TX. The local City Owned range runs $6 per firearm/person or $100 per year.

The junor college close to me offers an every other week range session that runs $20 and includes 50 rounds of ammo ($10 for seniors).

There's a privately owned range that's open to the public that charges $7per gun. It's grubby and mobbed, so I don't go there very often.

The private club I belonged to pre-Hurricane Ike ran $125 a year for me and my wife if I remember correctly.The other private range runs about $250 per year, but it's really huge with several different ranges and has activities going on all the time including rifle, pistol, airgun competitions and seminars/training courses.

Lucky for me, there are lots of ranges to choose from. I usually go to the municipal range. It's only 2 miles away, is clean and well run, and the shooters are usually friendly and well behaved.

I pay $85 a year at my range. You get the combo to the lock and have pretty free daylight access. We have pin, combat, 50 yard pistol, 100 yard rifle, .22, trap/skeet, and archery ranges. Plus, I can be from house to range in under 5 minutes!

nada - I only shoot in National Forest public ranges these days. All it costs me is a bit of gas money and ammo. Actually after over a year of shooting almost soleyly outdoors, I honestly would not relish having to use an indoor range again. The only time I go to a for-fee range anymore is to rent and try out a make or model I am thinking of buying.

GRRRR ---- the only indoor range near me charges $15 per hour !!!! If and a BIG IF it is slow -- the owner lets you go "overtime" for free.

Ah, it's great to live in the boondocks.....

I pay $20 per year and if I get there around 8 a.m. I can often spend a couple of hours alone there.

Outdoor range.

The outdoor range I belong to also charges a $50 annual membership. After that, you pay $1 for a daily trip ... or you can pay an extra $15 for the year and have the daily fee waived. The range is being forced to move because of a lease issue with the city, with much angst and wailing and gnashing of teeth. In this day and age, it's possible that no suitable replacement site will be found and that the range will disappear entirely.

Indoor range by me [Hole in the Wall @ Kennewick, WA] charges $125 per year or $10 lane fee. They have 50' and 75' lanes and allow only handgun calibers excluding .500 S&W.

The local outdoor shooting facility charges $45 for annual family membership or a $5 non-member fee.

$50/year gets you the combo and access to all 6 ranges from 25 to 125ish yards, and an archery range.

Indoor pistol range: $120 year membership, $6 range fee each time. Pretty expensive, but I will pay it to be able to shoot indoors when it is 13 degrees outside!

Indoor range that is $ 199/ yr. Unlimited time if no one is waiting, 21 lanes, and I haven't tried it but supposedly it's one of the few indoor ranges you can shoot black powder. Also, 5% discount on ammo for members.

$10 lifetime membership at my indoor range. Then it's $10 for two hours whenever you want to use it.

$80/year for NRA members, $90/yr non-nra members.

There shouldn't be ANY non-nra gun owners with this present crop of "people" in charge of the government.

indoor range here $8/ HALF hour, $4/ HALF hour per extra shooter; not yearly options or anything. Outdoor range 45 minutes away has free range use if you buy ammo there, which is of course, overpriced. Last time I went 2 years ago it was $10 a box (20) of cheap .223. Nice range though.

All the other places around here you have to pay a huge initiation fee, have a sponsor, pay a huge yearly fee, etc.

If anyone knows of anywhere to shoot around the Fredericksburg, virginia area that won't cost me an arm and a leg, please send me a message. I tried the Izaak Walton league which has a range 10 minutes from here, but can't get them to call me back.:fire:

I just joined a members-only indoor club. It's close to my house, and not a public range, both a plus. $115 / year annual membership dues, and no lane fees. 50 foot long gun range + a separate 50 foot pistol range. It's a very old building, so the 50 foot pistol lanes are restricted to sub 900 fps muzzle velocity, and no jacketed rounds. So, I usually just shoot .38 sp. Blazers or wadcutters if I can find them. I like to finish off with a box of .357 magnum loads. For that, they do have a 7-meter trap on lane 1. Limiting, but works for me. I also get 24-hour access with my pass key. Meeting room, kitchen with fireplace. It's a cool old place with nice folks as members. They do ask for donations when you use the trap though. It does take a regular beating with the hot jacketed loads.

around detroit it will cost you over 300 a year to join a decent range. i pay like 10 to 12 for a half hour of time.

Thingster
February 8, 2009, 03:49 PM
Wow, these prices are nuts.

If I'm willing to drive just over an hour I can shoot all day from 25-300 yards for free.

If all i want to do is shoot from 7-100 yards or check out a couple reloads pretty quickly, I can drive 10 minutes to where it's supposedly $3/hour/booth. You pay $3 to get in and pay the balance on leaving, but I've never paid a balance on leaving. They supply ear plugs and safety glasses if you need them, and lend out spotting scopes- all included in the $3.

They also have a trap range that's- you guessed it- $3/round, a free archery range, and a shotgun pattern range.

God bless the Missouri Department of Conservation.

In the great Blue State of CT:
It's $125 a year for a membership to an outdoor range that I can shoot at unlimited on Weds, Sats, and Suns only, noon to about sunset. You can't really use this range in Dec, Jan, Feb, or March - it's either closed or too cold.
In the cold months, there's a local indoor range that charges $14 per half hour.
A little less local, but a lot nicer, is another indoor range that charges $26 per hour.

I guess I got the best deal. I shoot at a private range we built for ourselves on my best friends ranch. It costs me nothing but gasoline to drive out there, which is about 15 minutes from my house. Year around shooting and lifetime membership.

February 9, 2009, 12:39 PM
The range I use most often is $20 lifetime membership and $10 a visit ... you get one medium size target with the $10, full-size silouettes are $1.50 ... they have 7, 15 and 25 yrd pistol positions, a long-range rifle area (don't shoot rifle so I don't know the distance) and also a skeet and defensive shotgun range .. all outdoors, they sell ammo, a few handguns, lots of accessories ...

What michiganfan said. I think at mine it's $11 for half an hour and $16 for an hour...and that's among the cheapest in my area.

Also, around here I'd skip an outdoor range simply because I don't see a point in shivering my way through a shooting session for a large portion of the year. Hard to shoot when all bundled up and hard to relax when every muscle is tensed up from the cold!

I usually use the range in my back yard, but when I can't these are my options.

1) Drive 70 miles to pay $8.50 per hour. (200 yard rifle)
2) Drive 45 miles to pay $20 per day.(300 yard rifle)
3) Drive 60 miles to pay $25 per 4 hour block. (300 yard rifle)
4) Drive 15 miles to a 25 yard indoor pistol range and pay $14 per hour.

The "Missouri Conversation Corp" ranges are cheap ($3 hour) but only allow 1 round/3 second (strictly enforced) and you only shoot 30-40 minutes per hour, due to "10 minute" shoot and 5-9 minute "reset."

The local indoor range is $25/year, $9 day (members) or $15 day, non-members. Gun rental is $5. Firing is limited is 1 round/second.

Well, living in OKC we are blessed with a very nice indoor range complex (25 yard handgun 30 yard rifle ranges) and membership renewals run $125 plus tax each year. Unlimited range time plus 2 large targets come with each visit.(family memberships are only a little more and worth every cent, provided you shoot often. They even have an air-rifle range, kinda unique.)

Folks not purchasing memberships run about $10 per visit, still unlimited time and 2 large targets.


I'm also a member of Tri-city gun club and memberships run from $70 to $100+ depending on membership level and status. It is a private, outdoor range with awesome facilities. The club also supports 2A advocacy and introduction of women and youth to shooting sports. (Shotgun range, pistol plinking range, bow course and rifle range up to 200 yards.)

OKC has so many nice options, these are simply the two I landed on for my own needs.

Sheesh, I'm glad I go to the range I go to.

It's $2 per visit (which lasts 2.5-3 hours) or 50 cents per visit if you're an NRA member. It is a handgun-caliber only range and only has 5 50-feet booths, so I guess it isn't much. Works for me though!
