If you belong to a gun club, how much are the dues?

[bpisler]

My wife and i just joined Az shooters world,Paid $320.00 for the year and got some extras.Range time is unlimited,6 1 hour range passes,buy 1 gun at their cost,members only lounge
We also get 10% off most classes and They have a great selection of rental guns and acessories.24 indoor lanes with no handgun or ammo restrictions except no steel core ammo.They also have shotgun and rifle lanes.It was a little pricey to join but it only costs $149.00 to renew.Best of all it's only 10-15 minutes from work.

 

[cheygriz]

When I joined: No inititation fee, $10 per year. No limits on membership. Clopse to 1,000 members

NOW: $100 inititation fee, $65 year dues. Membership limited to 500, two year waiting list.

Nice outdoor range 15 miles from town. Indoor range (more or less) for .22, .38, .45 only. Midrange taret loads only. No "booth" type firing points, only a straight, open 50 foot firing line. No target carriers, you have to go forward to change targets. The rangemaster allows this every 10 minutes. No shooting "from the holster."

OOOPS!!! I forgot that this wasn't a thread about how **NOT** to run a club. Sorry about that!!

[Langenator]

Mid Carolina Rifle Club in South Congaree, SC (east of Columbia)

25/50m bullseye/2700 range

[Raistlin]

The Firing Lane
Athens, GA

Indoor range.
$200/year membership gets you unlimited range time.
$250/year for family membership.
10 pistol/shotgun/.22 rifle bays, to 25 yds.
2 >.22 rifle bays to 25 yds.

you have to buy their targets - prices from $0.50 to $2.00 each,

I know it's pricey, but they're the only indoor range within driving
distance of my home.

 

[larryw]

$50.00 annual dues and perform work for the betterment of the club (occasional range duty). No charge to shoot on rifle/pistol range, trap is $2.50/round.

 

[kitsap]

Worth it in my opinion

Poulsbo Sportsman Club, Poulsbo WA

Individual membership $50/year. Family $62.50/year. NRA membership mandatory.

Covered firing lines for pistol at 25 and 50 yards, rifle at 100 and 200 yards.

 

[Guy B. Meredith]

I pay $25 for Diablo Rod and Gun in Concord, a real bargain considering they sell reloading components for 6% over cost to members, have the lowest match fees and range fees.

For Chabot and Richmond clubs I pay about $40 and $50 per year. At Richmond I have worked as RO to get action pistol range priveleges that are worth at least $25 per year. Chabot match fees are the highest at $20.

All the above are outdoor rangees in the SF Bay area no less.

 

[manwithoutahome]

JuniorG,

You don't have a location but I'm willing guest "somewhere in Oregon".

If so, and if this is the range that I'm thinking of:

They're open all year around now? Four or so years ago they closed in the winter (or that was what I was told) due to the ranges where getting hosed from wear and tear.

If this is the same range, maybe I'll see you there sometime, or at the 'Den.

Outdoor range: $75 a year with NRA membership. It's $2.50 per hour on the rifle/pistol range and you get targets for that price. No non-paper targets and no human shaped targets. I have on idea what the trap/skeet prices are. Range goes out to 125yards.

Hours are pretty limited: 6pm-10pm Tues and Thurs. 10am - 6pm Saturday. 12am - 6pm Sunday.

Indoor range: $200 a year. Tues and Wed are free for members... all other days are half-off. That's $7 per hour of pistol range time and, uhm, $9 per hour of rifle range time. Ranges go out to 25 yards.
Hours: 10am-9pm Mon-Fri. 9am-5pm Saturday.

They've both got their ups and downs. The indoor place is coinvient for pistols and after work shooting -- outdoor is nice for some longer range rifle work.

 

[lee n. field]

Eight miles? Twenty bucks? Lucky you.

The one I'm trying to scrape money together to join is 25 miles away, and costs $90/year. Participating in work days can knock that back to $50, depending on how diligent you are. Your $90 gets you a key, so you can go anytime. Nice facilities, from what I saw of them.

Metacon in Simsbury, CT. $95 a year; this year and next year there is an additional $45 per year surcharge because we are replacing the backstop in the 25-yd. indoor range (complete with lights, ventilation, about a dozen ports, etc.) and doing a full survey of the property, which is dozens of acres. We have an outdoor 100 yd. rifle range (all shooting positions covered) as well as a trap/skeet area and are building a 500-yd., one-lane long range rifle range. There is a cowboy action club, an IDPA club, a bulls eye club, rimfire club, teen club, etc. etc. Up to two guests are free at all times; spouses are half price.

 

[YodaVader]

[4v50 Gary]

Use to pay $30 a year a few years back. Then they offered a limited lifetime membership for $200. Myself, my brother and my uncle dropped off a check for $600 for the three of us.

 

[Wolfy]

You guys have it easy!!!

$400 initiation fee
$150 dues (knock off $50 if you attend three meeteings or 2 work parties)

Rather than type all the facilities here is the link click on the "club facilities" link

The only drawback is the indoor range no jacketed bullets and no magnums. Also the ventilation system is at least 20yrs old.

 

[Dan Morris]

$75 per year, Trap/rifle/pistol and automatic ranges. Unlimited range time
except when in use for LEO training. About 28 miles from home.Just too many people and not enough ranges.

Yep Orygun USA. Just a wee bit north of you in Salem, well actually a bit north and east as I live out of town about 11 miles or so.

Been shooting out at 4 corners for about 4 years now, ever since they closed our local woods down to the public
I don't know if the range was closed in the winter before that or not.

We used to shoot at the Albany range but it was too far to drive.

 

[45King]

Mid-Carolina Rifle Club, Columbia, SC
Annual dues: $100
Facility includes rifle range out to 200 yds with covered firing line, covered 2700 (Bullseye) bay, serveral plinking bays (including one with a plate machine,) a hunter pistol sihouette range, and a pistol range with 6 bays.

The only other shooting facility in town is an indoor range at 25 yds. max, with a 2 point rifle range and 12 pistol bays. Membership there is $125 annually.

IMHO, MCRC is a great deal. I think it's either the best private/public facility in the state.

 

[MrAcheson]

$200/year. Unlimited free range time, free non-Class 3 rentals.

 

[Detritus]

Greenwood Gun Club, Brazoria TX.

10 minute drive from my front door (usually including the stoplights)

rifle range is of decent size with 100, 200, 300, and Pit-served (when you can get a buddy to go with and help) 600 yard areas.

Pistol area has another 100 yard section, a 50yard area, one (i think) 50foot area with a covered line and subdivided into stalls, and then a last Open (ie no structuctures) area of thge same depth for use by the IDPA/IPSC shooters and the CHL courses that use the range.

located about 10-15 miles away is a separate piece of property that houses our Shotgun range, this section is only open on sundays or by special arrangement, and last time i was there a round of skeet, trap or 5-stand was $4 for members and a little more for non-members, since then a regulation international trap field has been added (brazoria county sent 9 kids to the National Junior Olympic Trap and Skeet Shooting Championships in 2003, we thought we'd give em a place to practice tht wasn't over 100miles away) and i'm not sure what the per-round fee for that one is, b/c THOSE fees will go toward paying off the loan taken out to complete that feild.


Dues for the club are $54 per year, prorated if you are accepted later in the year (we now have a waiting list) with an additional $54 "initiation fee" the first year that goes directly to the fund for accquiring the land buffer between the range and possible housing developments.

from all i've seen every other range in this area is either has a yearly dues of close to double that per year, a public "for-profit business" packed with folks whos gun handling is so bad it makes my skin crawl, or both.

 

[andrew17]

35.00 for the sportsman side of my club, rifle, pistol, bow, falling plates
25,50, 75, 100, 200 meter range

35.00 for the trap skeet side +2.50 a round

along with NRA membership.

The range is open 7 days a week- no range officers looking over your shoulder. With 300+ members it's still usually deserted when I go.
