    I don't think I would pay 600 dollars per year to become a member of a shooting range, especially one that's always crowded.. I just renewed my FAMILY membership at the Rod and Gun Club here for $55.. :P

    And it's not that people can't afford to pay out 600 dollars over the course of the year, but many cannot afford to hand over 600 in a lump sum. The only way I would be able to justify spending 600 dollars to shoot would be if I shoot over 600 dollars worth of ammunition each year, which I do not.
    Saving up your ammo money all year to pay for a membership to the range? Not likely.

    40 dollars for a one time thing though? If it's a nice spot, as this range sounds like it is, I'd check it out.

    No #### Sherlock!

    I was referring to shooting my black-rifle XCR .223 at Homestead.

    And YES, the XCR is unrestricted.

    Anyway, I got the membership at TSE and LOVE IT!!!!!

    NOTHING LIKE being able to walk into a range with your badge and just scan yourself into the shooting lanes WHENEVER you want! Best money I have spent aside from purchasing the guns themselves! Very easy to pick up your brass too, especially if you go when it isn't busy...

    Hands down, get the membership! I go shooting pretty much every single weekend now. It is great!

    Go check it out...I guarantee you will like it. If you shoot pistol/restricted and especially if you live in Calgary or surrounding area, then a membership at TSE is basically something you can't put a value on, as I have discovered.

    I used to groan and moan about spending the day-pass fee for me and my wife to shoot for a couple of hours, and so we would go only about once every two months. Now with the membership, I go almost every weekend and she comes with every 2nd or 3rd time, and when she doesn't shoot with me she either goes to the Farmer's Market (adjacent next door now!) or to the shopping area just down the hill less than 1km away and does girl shopping. I mean you just can't beat the location convenience for everyone involved and the TSE Range itself is, without qualification, first rate.
