In line with the post about joining a club with an outdoor range, for those of you who pay to use a range, what are the yearly costs?
For me, I have dawn to dusk access to a first class range (although the limit is 100 yards) for $40+ required NRA membership, so around $90 a year. That is about a fifteen minute drive. There is also a DNR operated range, also limited to 100 yards and not as good facilities with limited hours and closed to the public two days out of the week. The DNR range is, I think, $3 per session or an Indiana State Park pass which is $50 a year or $25 for seniors. That is about 20-25 minutes away.
Until I decided to let my membership drop at the end of July I could take an hour and a half drive to Friendship and use the NMLRA range with a 500 yard max. Cost there is now $35 for electronic membership or $50 if you want a paper version of the member magazine.
None of these are as convenient as when I could walk out the door and be shooting in a couple of minutes, but I still get the feeling I’m pretty lucky.
