So we have a new range opening up next year in stamford. It looks to be a well-designed place with a great opportunity for success.

I mean look at the place, looks and sounds to be perfect for what i am looking for.

So i look at the memberships.
Platinum total price is 6500 a year. That puts you prepaying for 144.4 hours of range time. to break even you would need to visit the range 3 hours a week.
Here is my old range in Seattle

Here are their range memberships
Out of curiosity I started a thread on sig forum to see what various people across the US are spending for range fees. It can be read here :

:So I made the comparison to CT range prices and seattle range prices today. The owner deleted my posts. <shrug> It is his page, then proceeded to message me that I can not compare east coast to west coast. That doing so is ridiculous. I responded that having lived recently on both coasts I see no real difference in most things as far as prices per unit. Why should a gun range be any different?
