In an earlier posting I mentioned that a new shooting range is being planned for Roanoke.  One of the people involved in opening the range added a comment giving updates on their status as well as a link to their website.

I noticed that their yearly membership is $300 for individuals and $500 for families.  At first, this seemed a bit steep to me, but then I realized that the individual membership is the same price as 38 trips to the range at Bass Pro, so I’d be saving money over the course of a year by buying a membership.  They’re also offering a lifetime (family) membership for $3500 to the first 100 applicants (it will be $5000 after that).  That’s a bit steep for individuals like me (especially after buying a house).  It would be nice if they offered a less expensive individual life membership (with the option to upgrade to a family membership if things changed).

According to their site, they will also offer gun rentals and sales, classes (CHL and safety) and a gunsmith.

I look forward to checking them out once they’re open.
