What kind of facilities do you guys have available to you?

What kind of range fees if any do you/would you pay to use them?

    The reason I ask is that I am VP of a gun club and we have been approached by local archers (about 200) looking for a place to build an indoor facility. We are more than happy and want them to build the building on "our" property. They aren't so happy with the fact that they would then have to join the "gun club" every year ($100) to continue to have 24/7 access to the the building.

    What am I missing here?

    You could make a deal with a local range for your org. I shoot in my attic in winter.

    That is a cheap rate. Our local indoor range is $8 an hour. Outdoor range is $75 a year.

    Archers are very funny group. Most will not flinch at dropping $1K on a bow, but not want to spend $10 to shoot it.

    Range fees here vary also but you can buy a day permit for $10 (just for archery range $20 per day for gun & bow) and a yearly permit for $50 for both gun and bow so I buy the yearly permit

    Local indoor range is $25/hr here. Its only $22/hr to use the rifle range at the same place....Crazy. I shoot outside. I have a few 3D targets at diff. ranges and shoot mostly from my deck. $2 0r $3 bang? how can that place stay open? I need to relocate. The price of everything is crazy here in NY.

    At current membership dues we are looking at 27 cents a day!

    I am learning this, very strange indeed

    We currently have target bails at 20,40,60 &80 yards and some 20 odd 3d targets that they can set up where ever they want withing the range boundaries and they still won't come out and play @ 27 cents a day.

    Now they want a place to build a building so they can shoot indoors in the winter and they are hung up on the $$
