    Club Membership Fees

    I'm interested in how much we spend to "get through the door" for shooting. Naturally prices vary, depending on whether clubs charge a range fee per visit, and the facilities available (or whether they have no range and use a county or another club's facility). As a result, the poll will be a bit of a fudge, but do your best and add context in the comments. You can also pick more than one option if you are a member of multiple clubs.

    Also, what would you consider "maximum"? Obviously that's a bit subjective and based on quality/availability of facility (some places are superb yet open once a week, others are more modest but you can get a key and go buddy-buddy shooting whenever you like), but it'd be interesting to compare ideas of what people consider a fair price for somewhere to shoot.


    My Club Membership is £150/yr with no range fees (indoor .22 25yd, 10m air, outdoor 50/100yd), and I am an Annual Member of the NSRA (£84), so my annual subscriptions come to £284.
    I usually shoot at least one NSRA Open Meeting (Airgun/50m/Bisley Week), so being a member chops £20 off the entry fee, so arguably you could say I spend £264 since I'm doing that meeting anyway, not because I'm getting a discount.

    For context, other local clubs look like:

    Archery: £169 (£120 Club, plus £49 Capitation collected for ArcheryGB)

    Council Gym: £350.80

    Gliding Club: £384 (£334 Club plus £50 capitation for BGA) plus £8/launch and minutes (for club gliders)

    Golf: £500-1000/yr plus £20-65 Green Fees (Staffs/Shropshire, not Surrey!)

    My 2 outdoor ft ranges are £35 (Range fee £3, optional to upgrade to no range fee, think £50) and £50 no range fee.
    My indoor 25yd range is £65 plus £2.50 (I think) Range fee.

    Nsra membership which I use to cover my coaching (and will now look into for kit insurance) is £85

    I could drop the Nsra and it would therefore drop my cost per visit down.

    Max is subjective as a full ft course with 50m indoor range open 24/7 with support amenities on my door set would be worth the other 3 clubs combined at least. But how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

    Aldersley

    I belong to Aldersley NSRA range in Wolverhampton.
    It's £20 a year and £5 a visit.

    You need to belong to the NSRA which I believe is £85 a year.

    Facilities are pretty good. Approx 30 X 10m points. Around 8 X 6 yard points.
    All indoor. Together with a 25m Rifle range.

    There is also an outdoor range. But that is seldom used.

    There's a shop. Compressor. Boiler for tea/coffee. Plus toilets.

    Also a pretty good heater for the colder times.

    Enjoy shooting there. So lucky to be close to where I work, so a short detour on the way home a few nights a week.

    Been using a scout hut for 30 odd years one night of 3 hrs per week. £35 annual subs and £1.50 range fee for the 3hrs. However rent may double soon which will mean £50 subs and £3 range fee as that is the major revenue stream.
