How far have you got to go to shoot /k/?

I'ts my birthday on the 1st, and my nearest range is open tomorrow so I might treat myself to a shoot tomorrow (in UK so ranges are practically non existent).

Problem is, it's a good hours drive into the buttfuck middle of nowhere, and the range charges ridiculous fees. I'm looking at about £100/~$120 just to go on a 50 yard range and shoot about 100 rounds of .22, or maybe 30 rounds of .223. I really want to shoot, but when I have to travel so far and pay so much just to do it, it really fucking sucks.

How is it for you? State country/state and how you have it.

>>32487186
5km or a bit over 3 miles for you savage folks.
>>
My back yard
>>
>>32487194

And I assume you can just turn up and shoot your own stuff free of charge, or is there a fee to use the range?

Montreal Quebeckistan, the one I go to is about 20 miles away.

>small calibers $15, big calibers $20, FMJ $25
>trap range rental is 20 bucks an hour IIRC

Probably moving to Quebec City region in a few months and they have this badass range not far from the military base, looking forward to it.

15min drive.
made it myself on my property.
private so i can do anything i want.
anything.
>>
>>32487256

If you have land here you're allowed to set up a private range as long as it has been reviewed to be suitable, i.e. no public footpaths nearby, suitable backstop etc.

I live right next to firearm approved land too, and was friendly with the estate manager but they won't let me hunt on it with a firearm, only an air rifle, so I can't get my license.
>>
>>32487252
>>small calibers $15, big calibers $20, FMJ $25

I take it that's a fee you pay depending on what you want to use?
>>
>>32487283
Yup. You bring your own stuff, no rentals unfortunately.
>>
>>32487288

That's fair enough, I suppose higher calibres are gonna punch bigger holes into the backstop so I guess paying extra towards the upkeep of the range is fair enough.

I really wish somebody would open a good range around here. There's a 25 yard indoor .22 range about 20 minutes away from me, but it's super fuddy (well, they're all fuddy in the UK but this one especially). It looks like full on prone target shooting with all the slings and blinders and shit, I haven't tried it yet but I imagine they're all gonna be the type to bitch about every tiny flaw in your form when you just wanna kill some paper.

I really hope I'm wrong but I'm not holding out.

m8 do yourself a favor and stick to outdoor ranges.

it is on about ~7 acres of land, the deer and bear here are running rampant. i got it a few years back built a small cabin with wood stove and a massive outhouse with view from the shitter all made out of old windows over the ridges.
i am in wv, where are you located with those rules?
>>
>>32487332

I would but there aren't any nearby. Ranges in this country are like hen's teeth.
>>
>>32487337

UK. If you have a legit reason to use a gun you can have one, i.e. pest on your land or you have your own suitable place to shoot privately.

15 mins to the indoor range, about an hour to my land. living in a city has its ups and downs.

Man shooting a .22 AR would make my trip, though if I was in burgerland I'd want to shoot something a little more impressive.

it's about 15-20 minutes drive to get to my closest outdoor range. however, it's a dirt road approach that gets fucked up by anything more than a mild drizzle and since it's free, the retards inherently flock there at all hours. I had a guy walk in front of me while I'm shooting so he could collect brass off the ground.
i'm seriously debating joining a gun club just so I can weed out some of the idiots I have to shoot next to

Free outdoor range about 30 minute drive (but only a couple minutes from my office)

Nice indoor range about 20 minutes in the other direction

>>32487186
About 13 km, about 8 miles.

Fees to shoot with your own guns are pretty low (25/30/35 zł, $6/7/8, £5/6/7) depending on what you want to shoot.

Even lower for members (15/20/25zł, $3.5/5/6, £3/4/5)

Members have to pay membership fees (325zł/$84/£68) every year but it's a good deal if you shoot frequently, at least once or twice a week.

Members also get a pretty big discount on rented guns. There are no additional fees for shooting rented guns, all you pay for is ammo.

Poland. Keep in mind we earn less though.

I live in the Midwest so I can usually go out to a buddies farm and do some plinking.

That said I live in the suburbs so it's a good 45 minutes to an hour drive for me to go anywhere I can shoot.

Backyard range best range.

theres an indoor range about 20 minutes (driving time) away. private outdoor range is about 30 mins away

Indoor up to 50ft - 25 min (handgun here)
Outdoor up to 300m - 45 min (rifle here)

Could easily be worse but I'd prefer them flip flopped.

universal background check aka private sales must go through a FFL. looks like the bill wording said only the FBI can run the checks and the FBI said they wont, thus the governor has said its unenforceable. something to keep your eye on as it progresses here as it just passed.

also keep in mind if they passed that shit who knows what will pass in the future.

About 10 minutes to the nearest indoor range, which is pistol calibers only.

45 mins or an hour to the nearest rifle range I know of.
>>
>>32487186
USA, MD
I'm about 15 minutes from the nearest range, which has a 50 yard pistol range, 100 yard general purpose, 200 yard rifle, archery, shotgun patterning range, and 4 trap houses.
It's ~$200 for an annual membership though.

CAfags moving there would be my best guess. sadly its happening all along the west coast, like i said that one is unenforceable and even the governor knows is so the bill will have to be re introduced with the proper verbiage to give the state police the authority to run the checks.

why do you want to leave TX, didnt they just pass a few pro gun laws like OC?

nah just need to get far away from here because personal issues, my main concern is gun ownership. i can literally move anywhere i want as i work for the government so thats what im looking for. i was thinking moving to another town here but fuck that.
