Cost of Shooting Club Membership

[Mark in Ottawa]

A few months ago somebody was asking about the price of a shooting club membership

I just renewed my membership this afternoon and the price was $570 Canadian or about $420 USD

Our club is all outdoors but most of the ranges have covered shooting benches.

We have rifle ranges at 50, 100, 200 and (a small number of spots) at 300 yards. We have two pistol ranges (one with covered shooting points) and an archery range. I don't shoot shotgun and am not sure of the correct nomenclature but as far as I can understand, we have 5 stand, skeet and trap

My membership is for rifle and pistol but not shotgun

Given that it is an outdoor range I no longer shoot in the winter but there were a number of people with shotguns there today, perhaps because it was not all that cold

I pay just under $300.00 for my club membership. There are 200, 400 and 600 yard ranges plus three bays, one is 40 yards, pistol and rimfire only and the other two are 50 yards, pistol, rimfire and anything you can shoot on the longer ranges. Firing points are all covered and have benches, though the benches are widely spaced on the 40 and 50 yard ranges.

My fee includes three guest passes. Guest passes can be used a limitless number of times and are a real perk. If it was just me and no guest passes membership would be about $250.00

Sounds a little pricey to me. With everything going up in price I can see people dropping out of membership. In my neck of the woods we have ranges--I haven't priced them lately and I'm sure they have increased but there are limits to what people will pay before asking to shoot on someone else's property.
