We do ask that you donate when you come and shoot. We provide targets, cardboard, labor, free instructors for your signifcant others, spouses, children, and not to mention all the effort of getting there, setting up, packing up the night before. We are currently being charged $15.00 a hour, for use - the goal is to walk away with a postive for the range days, otherwise we will have to look at how we run them. Things like 1 x 3's, shoot and c targets, drinks (water / gatorade) are also recommended.
We also have some people coming out who we are 'networking' with, and who we are not asking to contribute (although if they do... good on them). This year we are really focusing on doing things better, improving what we have, and more importantly, kicking ass in court.
