hard to find those bright spots in the dark clouds of burdensome financial disarray these days, so little bright spots can mean a lot, and put a small glimpse of sunshine in your day
Saturday.. bill day here... got my annual range dues billing today
Local semi-private 100 yard range, 8 stations covered, high backstop and side berms, house trailer with utilities for a clubhouse; nothing fancy but pretty nice, must reside in county to belong, no range officer, honor system combination lock on gate, mind your manners and clean up after yourself.
They provide stands, targets, etc., free, county mows the grass and such, 15 minutes from my front door. I have been a member for a couple of decades now.
You show up on a weekend morning, odds are better than 50/50 you will have the whole place to yourself.
You pay your annual dues one time a year, one charge, and your spouse is automatically included as a member, no extra charge. You can take along a non-member guest any time you want. Use it, don't abuse it. BYOB (bring your own bullets)
This year, they (again) voted to reduce the annual one year fee, vs. the $36 "std" annual dues.
Cannot even remember the last time they charged $36
$24
funny how such a small thing can put a little smile in your day
What's happening to you other folks out there, range dues ?
good news, bad news ??
