or ?

What does it cost you to shoot/day/week/year or?

Me personally I shoot where I volunteer R/O

It costs customers $5.00/Day + Targets

I shoot for FREE, because I donate time.

our bp club owns it's own range and I do most of my shootin' there.
It cost $20 a year to join and is less than 10min from the house.
 
I do 99% of my shooting at a state range. It's a nice setup. I like to get there nice and early, typically have the whole place to myself. About the only time it gets busy is just before and during the early part of hunting season.
Always meet nice people and I personally have not witnessed one unsafe act or heard of any accidents.
 
I get to shoot at a private (members only) range that is about 20 minutes drive from where I live. Dues are $25.00 per year, and I can shoot anytime during daylight 7 days a week. The only time I ever encounter any other shooters is the couple of months leading up to hunting season. other times during the year it's almost like my own private range :grin:
As a matter of fact HalfTail and I were up there this morning burning some powder. Got there about 8:30 am , shot 15-20 times, told a few lies to each other, weather was great (70 F.) no wind, no flies...................can't see life getting much better than that!

Thanks,
Been here about 9 months now,70 acres surrounded by the Daniel Boone forest.
Love it,love it. :bow: :bow:
 
I also donated time for the use of a state range for several years. I moved and ranges are rare near me and quite costly. I joined a group down near Charleston for $80 and only shot there once since January. I shoot mostly on some private land near where I hunt.

Maybe I'll get moved somewhere that has some good group with a range nearby.

public range on Natl F. land. 100 yard covered. I like to go to when weather is cold. but it's all good. I donate 10$ to the range volunteers.
 
Its in south eastern KY.
Im between the cumberland mountains and the wilderness trail.
Im right on the warriors path.
 
Never been in that part of the state only thru the middle, (I-65). Great looking place, I'm sure you will enjoy it I'm looking for some land myself gettin' close to time to quit work & spend some quality time in the woods.

By the way I shoot at a covered 10 bench range on a state owned management area or at my old home place in the country in N.W. Ala. when I'm at home & when I'm working I have a couple of guys I work with that have Airboats & we go out on those or the swamp buggies and hunt Hogs in South Fla.
 
I mostly shoot at a private range about 5 miles from my house. I'm on the BOD of this club so I get a few extra perks. :wink: It's a well run range in a nice setting. GW
 
our club is on private land, we have aggregate ranges and ample room for trail walks and a 200 shooter rondy every year with ample camping space.
costs me 22.50 a year for the family and 3 bucks each month for insurance. damn dirt cheap!

I also have the pasture/ hay field at home where I can shoot out to 150 yards with a great backstop.
My friend and his son help get the hay off the ground, and they shoot gratis whenever we like!
 
I'm a member of 4 ranges:
1. A Trap Club with 16 yd and handicap A.T.A. traps costs $100.00 initiation and dues are $50.00 per year. A round of trap (25 birds) costs the member $3.00. Range Duties (collecting the monies & loading the traps) is required.

2. A Primitive Club that mostly shoots on a Farm in the northern rural part of the State costs $20.00 per year. This is more of a novelty shoot group, and they shoot "out of the pouch".

3. A Club with an outdoor range only, featuring 3 pits for handguns & .22's, a 50 and 100 yard ranges where Highpower, PPC, Bullseye, Bowling Pins, etc. league shoots take place. Initiation is $175.00 and the annual dues are $100.00 per year, and we just had an emergency assessment of $100.00 for a new road that needs to be built to comply with the State D.E.P.

4. A larger Club where they have a BP league shoot on the first Sunday of each month. Any BP firearm is O-K including ML, single shot pistols, .45-70 cartridge guns, revolvers, et al. This Club also has an indoor range with 24 hour keycard access to a 12 point firing range, air conditioned meeting room, kitchen, restrooms, etc. This Club is very active with several leagues both indoors and outdoors: PPC indoor that I'm the Chairman of, Bullseye, smallbore, youth smallbore, indoor I.P.S.C., etc. Outdoors is Shotgun, BP, U.S.P.S.A., I.D.P.A., Knock-Down Steel, Static Steel, World Class Steel, etc. This Club's initiation is $300.00 and the annual dues is $337.00 per year. Work hours are required (12 hours) or you pay a buy-out of $15.00 per hour NOT WORKED. As a league Chairman (PPC) I'm exempt from the work-hours due to the amount of time to run the league.

Then I'm also a member of the NMLRA, I.D.P.A., U.S.P.S.A. and an NRA Life Member.

That's it SO FAR, unless I forgot something :shocked2: .

Yours for more trigger time,

Dave
 
Brett, I assume you are talking about Bryces place at the Flying M, how is the long term status looking there? there have been a lot of uncertainty over the years as to the fate of that property, hope the club has at least a moderate time locked up, it is a beautiful place.
 
Quarter million acres of public land, access is only a couple hundred yards away from house here in Golden Shores, cost is nil.

Gray is National Forest, yellow is Wildernes Area.

Beautiful looking pics of the country, as a bonus, maybe even a tree rat paradise
 
Thanks Tans,
Amazingly there are not that many squirrel.
Lots of coyote and bobcat.
Lots of red tail hawk.
Walked out the back door Saturday and counted at least 6 roosting in the trees.
