My feeling is the cost to shoot is climbing at a steep rate. Shooting range owners, outdoor range owners are making it difficult for gun owners to keep their skills up. I would like to use the example of a indoor range located in Huntington Beach CA. to show membership cost. Please comment how you feel about costs. Here is a reference to the range http://www.firingline.net/memberships/
The owner had Tuesday night free for the ladies to shoot but some lawyer got a law suit to stop that discrimination.(cannot win). Annual membership is currently $150 per year, there is no discount for people over 65, no discount for serviceman and no discount for vets.
They have a Law Enforcement Membership for $75 per year. Why the price discrimination? The police officers make outstanding money, they retire at 100% of their pay or better. What is it with Range Owners to treat a community of shooters so badly??? It seems to me a range owner would want to encourage shooters and give a break to those who can least afford it. By not giving a break to active duty servicemen and Vets it shows a we don't give a dam attitude.
The guy is the only game in town so if you want to shoot payup. Your comments please, do you have a simular situation near you??
