    Gun Range Fees

    My old gun range, lafayette gun club, in York County, Va. Now wants 700 buckeroos to rejoin after a 15 year lapse, plus 150 a year to shoot. When I was an original member they said it was good for life.....they lied..

    I would like to hear what you all pay for membership.....does the above sound reasonable given today's Bidenflation???

      I own 200 acres of land in Marion, NC with 800 yard range behind the house but it's 400 miles down there, I don't like driving anymore but I don't want to pay outrageous gun range fees either...

        Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club,

        non resident member, as in I am more than 75 miles away, supposedly, and I think I pay $70 a year,

        that's probably close to 3 hrs for you,

        I know folks in the Gloucester area that drive up to Charles City (conservation park) to shoot

          Local range owned and operated by the county charges $300 for a annual membership which allows unlimited use of the range. One day is $20/person. Pay be the month is $ 30/person. Years ago, range outside of Macon Ga. charged maybe $125.00/yr. for membership, but that was 17 years ago. Sincerely. bruce.

            I don't belong to a range but have asked at a couple of places. One is $100 per year another is $100 per year or $10 to shoot if you're not a member.

            I would check around if I were you.

                That's a lot of money just to shoot....

                  I might check that out. Closer by is public Chickahominy range, but only from Sep to March.

                    there is a similar range in Amelia, with the same hours and schedule,

                    and it is not a great range,

                    you may want to look into the range in Irvington,

                    my brother moved to Deltaville, and is a member there,

                    they are fairly active, but I am not sure what disciplines they shoot,
                    or if they have a website,
                    I will be in our shop in Kilmarnock on Thursday, and will ask


                    I have heard of this place as well, but don't know anyone that goes there

                    We do our very best to ensure a safe and educational experience for our members and guests while they develop their skills in the shooting sports

                      I belong to two ranges:

                      (This one is pretty cheap.) One is near Pittsburgh. I pay $15/year for a senior membership plus $10/year is required to pay for a yearly NRA membership. Pistol and rifle target structures are usually well maintained. Pistol ranges are 10 and 25 yards. Rifle ranges are 50, 100 and 200 yards. Dedicated archery range is 50 yards. Some borough LEOs train there.


                      (This one is even cheaper.) The other is in Linesville, PA. I pay $7/year for a senior membership. 5 skeet machines. Pistol and rifle ranges are combined and are 25, 50 and 100 yards. The targe structures are always too badly shot up before they get replaced.

                        I haven't been to our range in fifteen years. There are three places that we shoot at out in the boonies. Of course they aren't totally level.

                          My son is a member there . . . .BEAUTIFUL range and facility!

                          My kind of shooters there . . . .NO ?BLASTERS?! (They only try to see how fast they can empty a magazine!)

                          If I lived closer (Connecticut) I?d be a ?range rat? there, I?m sure!

                          Will this forum/site EVER fix this punctuation problem?

                            this is the other range I was thinking of,


                            To provide the opportunity and facilities for members to practice shooting sports and learn firearms usage in a supportive and safe environment.
