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!)
