Knicks, are you serious about your range charging $12.95 for 50 rounds of .22 ammo?
That's not inflation, friend. That's PIRACY.

For one hour $15.00 non-member, $10.00 member. Indoor range, no R.O 
, rapid fire is fine. About the only rule they have that gets enforced is "you shoot it you buy it". Their lack of rules makes a fun range, however due to that fact I only go during times I know I will be the only one there (had some guy bump firing an AK once while I was in the stall next to him, he blew my target clear off the T-Bar 
).

$225 for the family and unlimited use. I just renewed again for about the 7th year in a row.
I envy you young. At my hole in the wall two stall shooting range we are charged $10 a half hour, and $5 for ever 100 rounds you shoot if you're not a member. The shooting stalls are in a 50x12' room with only two stalls, and the target retreval system is a bike wheel on the ceiling.
It isn't much, but it's all we have :/

The indoor range I use is $100 a year, unlimited use. You can use your own targets and ammo, and no charge to bring a guest. Handgun rentals are $5, but you have to use their ammo. They have pretty competitive prices on handguns, any handgun purchase and the yearly range fee is reduced to $50, in effect giving you another $50 off the guns purchase price.

Grand River.
I go to Grand River Wildlife Management Area. Just short of 3,000 acres of hunting land with a small bit set aside for a shooting range. 25, 50 and 100 yard lanes, half covered, the rest open to the sun on good days and the rain on bad days. Double taps allowed, but no sustained rapid fire, everything but .50BMG allowed. No centerfire rifle on the 25, though. Nice little range.
24 dollars per year, 5 bucks for a day pass. Closed January and February, closed to the public Mondays and Tuesdays due to police use.
The best part? 14.8 miles from my house.

$150/year for a husband/wife (and kids when they're around) membership at the indoor range. That gets me no fee shooting for as long as I want. It's an indoor pistol range that also has two (short) rifle lanes. Also a 10% discount on other assorted stuff (not including firearms).
Since I live in an excesively urban area, it's as good a setup as I'm likely to find convenient to me.

$50 yearly dues and $2 per person per visit (rifle and pistol range). Each shooter gets a free target and tape each visit.

Free I have my own 100 yard shooting range. Just open my back door, walk about 50 ft to my bench and start shooting. I hauled a 3ft thick x 10ft long log into the field for a backstop with logging equipment. Works good for me. However, I just turned 21, so I'm gonna need a pistol range now too.

$8 an hour at the Grapevine BassPro shop. Although they've never charged me more for staying over an hour.

Very nice indoor range. $35 per year and 8.50 for an unlimited session. Very clean and well kept.
Okay well I guess I get the prize for paying the most:
1) £140 per annum membership
2) £1 to hire a club gun (whether it is an air pistol or a .38 carbine)
3) £3.50 per 100 .22 rounds
4) £8.50 per 50 .38 rounds
5) Paper targets range from 10p to 50p each
5) £100 per annum if you rent a safe at the club
Of course this is in the UK, but still I reckon that is a lot. However, a visitor can come down to the club on the first Sunday of the month and pay only £2 to use the ranges. They then pay for ammo and targets only.
At the indoor range in South Africa, as long as I had bought ammo from him, I could shoot there. It wasn't a very busy range because it was in Hillbrow, Johannesburg

$20 a year (plus $5 initiation for your first year) for the one that's a 15 minute drive. Almost always empty, strangely. Most I've seen were 3 other people there, on a 70 degree Sunday.
100% free for one that's a half hour away, and always crowded.

I frequent an indoor range w/ 25, 25 yard lanes. Members pay $300/year - includes unlimited range time, unlimited rentals and discounted guest priveleges.
An old buddy manages the shop. I shoot free most of the time. I do help out (when the range is busy) from time to time (cleaning up, cleaning range guns) to compensate for the free range time.

Well for a non retired veteran/civilian it runs $85 a year. Non members are $8 a day. The ranges are outside. There is a club house and small shop for targets, ammo and such. We have 4 trap and skeet ranges 3 dedicated rifle ranges several pistol/rifle ranges, one offical 25 yard range and several small pistol ranges for shooting at ranges less than 25 yards. No rifles capable of shooting over 4100 yards are allowed. No .50's either. We do have a plinking range for what ever you shoot. I'm taking some pumpkins(filled with water) there when they go on sale. Several of the ranges have roofs over the area where one shoots from allowing one to be protected from the sun or shoot while its raining.
some info is out of date in regards to opening hours. Also the club house now serves on Fridays.

What part of Houston are you in? (makes a difference, as to what ranges are in reasonable driving distance ya know..)
I live down here in brazoria county and am a member at Greenwood gun club just outside Brazoria. anual dues just went up to around $65 i think it was (new members also pay a one time $50-something "initiation fee" that goes into the land fund) no stated limit on guests but you're responsible for anything they do. Not gonna detail everything and be boring but, ranges out to 600, plenty of room and i've seen it crowded during a "regular" day (ie not "open house" etc) maybe twice in 5 years.

Bay Gun Club in Port Lavaca, Texas. We pay 30 dollars a year, just go by the police station and check out the key. The local LEOs and coasties qualify there, so there are days the range is closed, but not many. Nice outdoor range. We rent the land from the city for a dollar and upkeep it and in turn the police have a place to shoot as well as local armed citizens. Works out really well. It's a small town deal you're not likely to find in a big city, but I love it!
The club puts on shoots for members and we have ultra nice covered, paved shooting areas, electricity, fans on the pistol range, remote resetable steel pistol targets, bench rest quality shooting benches of 6" thick reinforced concrete set on 4" schedule 40 steel pipe legs bolted to the pavement with carpeted tops. 25, 50, 100, and 200 yard ranges. And, we have traps for our shotgunning, but nothing formal.
Anyone interested in membership should go to the First National Bank in Port Lavaca on the first Wednesday of each month, 1930 hours.

The one I belong to is $50 per year, members only. That membership has more than paid for itself in all the free brass I get. Go out after LEO training day and you have more brass than you know what to do with. You can prety much do whatever you want, but they have security cameras to make sure you aren't breaking the rules. Only thing I don't like is that the porta potty is often out of TP so I have to bring my own.

It is 2 minutes from my house but is "closed" during Deer season. 2 is my sisters 45 acer property. but covered in corn part of the year and 3, my buddy's 2 acer place in the country, but not always home either. Hopefully sometime in the next 2 years I will have my own place in the country to shoot. Because it sucks to have a "new too me" Taurus 66 4" .357 mag that I have not shot yet because, 1 it is deer season. 2 it is covered in corn and 3, he wasn't home.
