Private facility - $100/year membership fee. That's it.
It's an outdoor facility with covered shooting stations. 15yd pistol range. 25, 50, 100yd pistol/rifle ranges. An open range for shotgunning, cowboy action shooting, etc.

Knicks: Try the Chickahominy Wildlife Management Area range. Free, just have to drive about 60 miles one way to get there. Nice pistol and rifle range. Hours are a bit funky during hunting season.
Shooting club east of Richmond is $100/year, $15 for spouse and $5/guest. Facilities are pretty good.
My son laughs at my prices. He lives in SW Michigan. The range is 5 minutes away and costs $50/year. Pistol, rifle, shotgun.

Gosh, I pay so much more than you guys, it's sickening.
I belong to two ranges:
1. Red's Indoor Range in Pflugerville TX. $300.00/ year
Why? Well, it's indoors and they have long daytime hours, so good for any time of year (not that that's a big problem in Texas). But, it's also very convenient so I go there a lot and they know me.
2. Austin Rifle Club (ARC) outdoor range. $100.00/ year (I think)
Why? It's a beautiful outdoor range, and they permit draw-and-shoot. Problem: it's 35 miles from my house which is too far to drive every week (sometimes 2x a week).
Geesh,

$35 per year, 100 + 50 yard rifle, 25 yard pistol, 50ft indoor, indoor open only Sun + Thur.
First year $75, renewal $25. It's an all outdoor "Sportsman's Club" with a single berm for shooting. One shooter allowed at a time, max range 85 yards. It's out of the way and you never know if it will be packed or deserted. Sometimes I have to wait weeks (or months) to head out with my car loaded and show up to find a 75 person family reunion and children playing frisbee in front of the berm.
The same place also has a fishing pond and a place to shoot trap, but it's all bring-your-own gear. The only place to shoot rifle is a 2 hour round trip and an expensive yearly membership, and the next nearest place is pistol only with a 25 yard max. All outdoors. During the fall I may as well not even try to go shooting because people are lined up trying to sight in their deer rifles, and there's no regulations on how long one could be waiting before your turn arrives. It's a crapshoot. You just never know what you'll find. 1 out of every 5 times I turn around and go home for one reason or another.

I work at a range. It costs $350 to join, followed by $25 per month. Frankly, I think the membership fee ought to be $500, partly because using the range is worth the cost, partly because you don't enhance perceived value by offering discounts.

Mill Creek Rifle Club, Desoto KS:
$200 initiation Fee
$80 per year
3 pistol ranges, a couple are lighted
100-300 yard rifle range
100 yard rifle range
75 yard LE range
Shotgun range
You get a key and an ID card, unlimited use for a very well maintained facility.
The only problem is the ranges get heavy use for competitions on the weekends and it’s 40 minutes from my house. They’ve also got some serious rules due to urban sprawl. So last year I bought 40 acres and built my own range. I have a 30-meter pistol range and shoot rifle at 50, 100, 200, and 300meters. Costs are:
Construction and gravel $3000
Steel Targets $300
Shooting table for the pistol range $200
Bench for the rifle range $250
Mortgage with double payments $1200
Doing whatever I want, when I want……….priceless. Mill Creek is still a very, very, good deal though.

Indoor range (open 24 hrs), electronically operated door.
Outdoor, pistol (covered), rifle
Meeting hall is quite nice as well. I like it because I can go late at night and shoot inside, (heated of course), at any time.

My old range was $250/year with free rentals, clubhouse access, and unlimited range time. You also had to use their ammo, etc.
I currently shoot at the public range which is $5/hour of rifle/pistol. $2.50 per round of skeet/clays. I like it a lot better.

$175 a year for a club with trap, skeet, five stand, 100yrd rifle, 25ft pistol, 25 & 50yrd pistol. Anything involving clay pigeons is $3 a round over and above.
Not having to deal with the run of the mill idiots as well as too many people at the public range makes it well worth the price.

NRA Headquarters Range (I'm a life NRA member).
Range fees are $250/yr or $12 per visit for lifers. I don't shoot quite often enough to justifiy the yearly fee so I stick with the $12/visit.
I was looking for an outdoor range to use as well and all I could find locally were a couple of "hunt clubs" and they wanted to charge me $1,400/year for a membership! I laughed and walked away from that.
Found another nice outdoor range that would be happy for me to join for $150/year (unlimited use) but they are a 1.5 hour drive away. Still I'm tempted because it's a nice place and I do get over that way once in a while.

My Local Public (County owned and operated) range cost $10/day or $40/year for in-County residents. Slightly higher for out-of-County residents. This range has on site RO's and added a separate pistol covered range a couple of years ago. They are fairly restrictive on types of firearms and firing (no rapid fire, drawing from a holster, etc.), but, considering it's open to all, I would rather be safe than sorry. Many experienced shooters don't like the restrictions.
Just this year, I joined a local (10 minute drive) club. It offers pistol and rifle up to 300 yards as well as a separate 75 yard pistol range. It's pretty basic but it's great to have something like this available. There are also other nice amenities. The initiation cost is $75 and $50/year dues. There is a 12 hour yearly work hour minimum too. I work as many hours as I can and have met some great folks there.
I moved to this County a few years ago and am very glad for the shooting opporunities offered. In my previous County, you basically had the choice of two commercial indoor ranges. That became so exepensive that I virtuall stopped shooting for 10 years. For me, it was virtually impossible to get an opportunity to join a local club in that jurisdiction. Now that I am shooting more (IDPA primarily) I have been asked if I would like to join several clubs. I guess it helps to show up early and leave late to setup & takedown.

$10 a day to shoot all day. Can bring your own ammo. I think it is $250 per year, per person. I would not be able to get my moneys worth by paying per year since I live about 35 miles from the range. I can rent a pistol for $5.00 and shoot all day long, but must buy ammo from range. It's an indoor range.

They raised the dues to $50 last year, I think; I joined right before Hurricane Rita hit. Best shooting-related $50 I ever spent, too...Robert, I live down in Mid-County (Nederland/PA) and before I found out about the Golden Triangle Gun Club, I went to Leger's Range off Highway 90 just west of Beaumont -- about 50 miles round-trip! And I go to the range every week, too, so between range fees and gas, I was spending a good bit of money before I even loaded the first cartridge in the magazine. I figured it up one day, and not counting the gas money I spent every week, I am saving about $160 a year now. And the GTGC has some good people in it, too.

Indoor range: $15/day, or $10/day + $29 /year, or $200/year unlimited range time. Have to buy their targets.

Trap/Skeet Club, also has covered handgun range and 200yd rifle range, SASS on first Sat: $100/year + $3/day (limited to Fri Sat Sun, open 6 hours) Guest limited to twice a year per guest.
I only go to one of the first 2 if the club isn't open or taking a repeat guest.

I am sorta like Vern, I do not pay as I shoot on private property.
Honest, I burned all sanctioned cards, and memberships when the Great Equipment Race Started in the early 80's.
I have been on a public range, I forget when it was, and I was paid to be there.
I have been on a high dollar private club property, with private Sporting Clays, 5 stand, Skeet and game. I guess been 10 yrs ago. Membership was $25/$50K/$100k up front and so much a year. (depended on what one wanted to do and how often and family members) I was flown in, to instruct, assist, and all my expenses covered. Then I hunted hard for 3 days felling quail and other birds for ME.
Nope, give me private property for now. I might change my mind someday...maybe.
