I was a member at Johnson Creek for two years (didn't renew for 2016) but their requirement of only shoot a target at 50 ft is ridiculous. The projectile is just going through paper and will still hit the backstop anyway. I know - it's their rules & if I want to play I have to abide by them but I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
I applied at Tri County (10 minutes away) in late 2013 & was told I was #2000 in line. About 18 months later I emailed & asked where I was - up to 600+. About 5 months later I got an invitation & really began looking at what they offered. No indoor range larger than .22 so I passed. When the weather is good I can shoot for free on either of two private ranges a friend owns.
I was at Rich's in Dec & they have an indoor range. I hadn't been there for about two years so I don't know when it was added but at $15/hr it's not a bad price. They don't charge extra if you bring your own ammo like the crooks in Clackamas but Rich's doesn't allow reloads. I forgot to ask about factory reloads (LAX. etc) but what knocked me over backwards are their annual dues. The least expensive single membership is $600 and that only reduces your hourly rate - not eliminate it. When I lived in CT my son belonged to the oldest gun club in the US - the Hartford Gun Club - and dues were $500/year. That includes skeet & trap, long range rifle & indoor & outdoor ranges that allow .22 & up. The place looked like a country club with full time maintenance & gardeners. $500 a year for a place like is understandable.
Last June Douglas Ridge held an open house. I was interested in the rifle range so I drove back to the range & saw two guys wearing safety vests - RO's I guessed. I was open carrying & as soon as I got about 20 feet away one of them asked if I was a member. I told them I was there for the open house & was considering applying and one of the RO's said. "We don't allow open carry on the premises." I think my jaw hit the ground & after I picked it up I said, "This is a gun range & you don't allow open carry?" The guy said, "Correct. It might make some people nervous." At that point I untucked my shirt & covered my gun & said, "Well now it's concealed." I asked about prices & after this, that, & initiation I lost track around $600. While I stood there trying to catch my breath & process the political correctness of a gun range I received a text saying a close friend in CA had just passed away. I just got in my car & left, baffled by the "make people nervous" comment. It's a GUN RANGE and one I'll never recommend & will always hold in contempt.
Yikes.
