Hard to do an honest comparison here.

Do HFT clibs have to register with the home office or NRA? If your club owns its range then the (silly) fees to Landmark + overtime pay to the range warden do not come into it. How many members against how many active members does your club have (makes a big difference). Need to do an 'apples for apples'

My club fees currently run £40/year membership + a £10 range fee on the local military range (100-600 yard targets every meet + McQueens) normally twice a month and a £3 range fee on a 100 yard range twice a month. No competiton or target fees. This level covers costs + prizes, no signinifcant profit (I know this as I'm the club Chairman).

Compared to Golf (a good walk spoilt by 18 diassapointments ) then powder burning rifle club fees do not see too bad?
