Range costs are going to be affected by many factors.
Public (govt) ranges have much lower costs, no rent/mortgage payments, if unsupervised no direct wages, if supervised portion of wage costs may be covered by state civil service rather than individual agency, pays no taxes, any costs not covered by whatever token fee is charged is covered by part of hunting license fees and/or infusions from general fund so actual cost supported by taxes of many who do not use the range.
A club range can have rent/mortgage costs, taxes, but by relying on member volunteers for RO's, maintenance, etc., has relatively low overhead.
Private range hav rent/mortgage payments plus prop taxes, business taxes and fees, prop and liability insurance, probably doesn't have volunteer help so there are employee costs of at least minimum wage plus mandated payments like soc sec, workman's comp, state health program, etc., and there is a relatively small pool of customers who must provide enough income to cover all costs, AND the owner needs to make some money to support himself unless the range is being operated as a break-even benefit for gun store customers.
While some range owners may be looking to scalp the innocent gunnie, price differences are more likely to be reflections of differences in cost of operation. Some guy that has a paid-off building can charge less and still make ends meet. A guy will set up his fee structure to give himself the profit he needs, while not alienating too many potential customers. He may be open to constructive comments on what you find annoying. But the bottom line is, he has got to make a certain amount per transaction to stay in biz.
