I ordered 7. I don't have a real need for more .22 L.R. But that's a good price.

I'm going to start shooting more now that I am practicing retirement and 22 is a big part of that.  It really helps me to switch off the centerfire to a 22 to keep the bad habits from creeping in too quickly.

Plus...I gotta bunch of old 22 of various flavors.  A lot of which is plain lead head because that is what you could get back when.  I need to put it downrange and then upgrade with the hollow point and copper swashing.  Back in the crunch I said I'd never be caught with less than 25,000 rounds of 22LR to plink with.  I am not there yet but I am keeping that in mind.

I'm shooting more .22 L.R. now that I'm retired as well. It gets me out of the house, and into some fresh air. Not so much now because of the heat. But in the cooler weather for sure. My gun club just raised the yearly membership fee to $100.00 a year. (Up from $90.00). So I'm hoping to get my money's worth out of it, just as soon as it starts cooling off.

My annual membership is $380.  You are bustin' my chops here...

At William's Gun Sight I can get an Outdoor Annual Range Pass good for rifle/handgun and skeet/trap ranges for $100. I think it was only $70 when I had one several years ago. It would get me free entrance to the outdoor rifle/handgun ranges, and discounted rates on the skeet/trap ranges if I ever shot clays. It's $8 by the day.

I've never been to the indoor range but it's only 25 yards long. Daily Pistol Fees are; Half Hour – $14; Full Hour – $18. Daily Rifle, Shotgun, and Muzzloader Fees are; Half Hour – $18; Full Hour – $24, and they have 10% off for active military, law enforcement, & seniors 65+. They have gun rentals now; Handgun – $15 (up to 3 handguns per visit) and Rifle – $20 (up to 3 rifles per visit), plus range costs, and you have to use their ammo. I checked to see what they have to rent and it's less than 100 guns.

I don't know when I'll ever get to the range but I have more than a footlocker full of ammo. There's some .22 ammo in there that's probably over 20 years old. I should use that up before I worry about getting more.

$300/yr.   I get 3 Action Pistol bays, one with 2 sets of plates.  10 Cowboy bays, 2 with 2 sets of plates each good out to 30yds.  One dedicated Shotgun pattern bay.   One .22lr and one centerfire plinking bays with tons of swingers.  One 24+ position bay 100yd rifle range and one 24+position bay 200yd rifle range.  One 25 position 50 yard pistol Bullseye bay with a 4 position 50yd magnum pistol bay with a Ransom rest.   One 600yd traditional National match rifle bay.  One 300yd reduced National Match bay.  One 100yd .22lr only rifle bay.  And of course a field shotgun course, trap and skeet bays but they charge extra per round. 

If I take a handful of pistol and rifles I can spend all day shooting.

A C-Note a year for me. I only use about 20% of the ranges. And most of the time have them to myself if I go early on Monday morning.

most of my shooting is 9mm in the form of an AR 9 for PCC...since switching to a 9mm G43 carry pistol it gets a couple of magazines a week also, but my G34 is not used much and most likely gets an Advantage Arms .22lr conversion unit, and my back up AR is switched to a dedicated .22lr upper with CMMG barrel and adapter... if you have an Atchison style AR conversion and not familiar with the Boonie Packer better mag adapter to use SW 15-22 magazines, give it a try...

I'm a member at two ranges... outdoor (they allow me to draw from a holster) $250/yr , and indoor (no draw from holster) $100 year( represents a half price loyalty re up and $50 off as a vet)... the indoor range has an interactive simulation 5 screen rear projection unit that uses CO2 operated actions and laser shots... well worth the cost of a year's membership alone....
