A low season target with marker costs £58.50 for four hours, so if you don't actually know any other shooters who qualify to share a target with, (and if you do, try getting them all there at the same time!!), the NRASC is a cost effective alternative.

That's view that matches my experience.

I think it is Fab and has really helped me get into full bore cost effectively. I have also made great friends and been able to receive and offer advice.

Will drop you a PM. I have just become a full member of the NRA so can shoot outside of my current club, are there any GR intro sessions? I would need to hire or borrow a rifle as my .22LR is a hunting rifle.

Unfortunately, I don't know the charging basis, and I've just had a look at the NRA website, which is a bit out of date on this subject (It shows a 2012 list, but there is a 2013 list of guns for hire on issue) and doesn't include the critical element of how much.

Will try to get that fixed when I get back to work tomorrow.

Really sorry this week has been just too busy to deal with this. NRASC are at Bisley tomorrow and I am duty manager - I will ask prices.

Firearm hire is £5 per half day for each firearm that you hire. Ammunition is charged according to calibre and brand. It costs £20 per half day to shoot with the NRASC. All firearms need to be booked in advance.

£40 a day to shoot with the NRASC? a bit pricey, the last time any of our members paid that much was when only 2 of them turned up ! how many people turn up for NRASC shoots ?

So, how much it costs to shoot with NRASC for half a day, low Season?

For the NRASC there is no low season that I am aware of. It is £20 per half day. This seems expensive but when you consider that there are targets on Century,Short Siberia, Stickledown (all with markers that have to be paid for) and a bay on Melville there is an awful lot of shooting that is available. The NRASC has to pay the full cost of the facilities and any 'profit' is re-invested into the NRA's firearms and equipment. If you are only shooting at one range/distance it will always be cheaper to organise a target yourself and get a few mates to help with the costs.

Alex: It costs myself and five friends approx. £11 each for a half day mid-week, during which we would normally expect to get through 50 rds each.
We have a routine which maximises our use of the time available, and allows a break for the marker at half time.
