Based on the description of your situation, I'd be happy with what you have. A couple of years ago I tried to "join" a local club. There was a $40 application fee, and then you had to attend so many meetings and work at least 100 hours within the year you applied in order to be eligable to be voted on for membership.... provided that there was an "opening" because membership was limited to a given number and an existing member had to die or resign in order for you to become eligable. Then after all of that there was a fee of $100 a year and an additional amount of fund raising. Well, I managed to fill in all of the requirements, even managed to get in over 500 hours of volunteer time, but in the process, I came to the realization that my tolerance for drunks wasn't as great as I thought it was. Told them what I thought about their drunks, especially the pet board member drunks, at one of the monthly meeting where, of course they served free beer, offered them 20K to get rid of the drunks and the beer, and walked out. Never heard from them again.
So fast forward to today.... Tried to go to a range today. The first range I tried -- $21 a hour or you can buy a membership for x dollars per week -- was an indoor range at a local gun shop. It's a fairly nice range and until today, I considered it the safest of the nearby indoor ranges. Well, I went in to check out the situation and was a little concerned. There were three pairs of guys shooting in three lanes next to each other, even though there were plenty of open lanes. The RO on duty had bullet holes in his name tag that he was wearing as well as his shirt. I think that was supposed to be funny. But he was also so large that he had trouble squeezing into the shooting positions to clean up all the empty cases and garbage after people left. If that alone didn't cause me to have doubts, just then a 20ish guy who looked and was dressed exactly like "Yosemite Sam" came in, signed in and began blasting away with his two "six guns." Do you have any idea what black powder cartridges do in an indoor range? I love the smell of black powder in the morning but I left while I could still find the door.
Then I went to an outdoor range owned and operated by the state dept. of natural resources -- $25 a year, I think. It was closed due to "whether." Yea, I guess it was "whether" the guys who run it wanted to work today or not.
The third and final stop was a range that is part of a chain of ranges -- $25 a hour, I think. Went in again to check things out and found two guys on two lanes blasting away with 12ga. shotguns. So, I left there too. Where did you say your range was?
