Sadly, I only have Four options for ranges in my area:
1.) Farm Land - Don't know any farmers, not sure I'd want too shoot there anyway.
2.) Bullet Hole Store - 7-35 yards, not enough range for rifle shooting (although they do allow it with soft points), indoors, 10$/hour range fee.
3.) SW Iowa Sportsman Club - Trap, Skeet, Action Shotgun, 0-50 yard "Pistol range" and 100 and 200 yard lines, 40$ annual membership fee, 3$ range fee for the day, "Supervised" range, shooting positions that are NOT covered (yet), and politics to boot.
4.) Eastern Nebraska Gun Club - 120$ annual fee, 120$ first time registration fee, non-supervised range, 0-600 yard rifle in 100 yard increments, 0-50 yard pistol, "Cowboy" range, Trap/Skeet range, pay and get the code to the gate. Not sure about the politics, but I hear it's nice.
3&4 are the same distance from my house (about 45 minute drive). 3 is where I currently shoot. As much as I would LOVE to shoot at ENGC, I can't swing the 240$ for the first time registration, and right now I have zero use for 600 yard shooting (I'm barely comfortable with my 100 yard shooting!!!) I just wish SWISC had less politics. It's owned and chaired by trap and skeet shooters who have zero desire to have a rifle or pistol range despite having held NRA matches before. They desire a small "good ole boy" club and absolutely frown upon everything "tactical." Almost every rifle/pistol RSO I've met has made a point that until the owners see a need for the Rifle/Pistol ranges, it will remain relatively bleak. Last I checked, Trap/Skeet was a shooting sport, as was rifle and pistol, and that is the REAL tragedy of SWISC. There is also this issue about, you can shoot 3 times, then you are forced to become a member, then after 3 more times shooting as a member you have to join a team to help run the ranges. Not a huge deal as 20 hours annually (4 weekends) is NOTHING, but it's really annoying when the only thing you do there is Rifle/Pistol and they have zero desire to support that side of their range. They have the opportunity to make one HECK of a nice range for a 100-200 yard Rifle Range.
They have some interesting rules, but for the most part, it's pain free. I can swing 3$ + gas for 5 hours of shooting on Sunday, but 240$ is painful to save for and painful to spend if I have no use for the facilities offered. I would be ENTHUSIASTIC about spending that kind of money after a new barrel is put on the 700 and I get comfortable at 200 yards.
