We're members of our local Izaak Walton League, which has a range. It's something like $120/year for Mr. WPW & me. We have enough room on our land that we could safely shoot, assuming we did a little work to set up a berm, etc., and a lot of our neighbors shoot on their land. However, I feel much safer going to a range that has all the precautions necessary, various ranges for various weapons, etc. along with access to instructors (on a pay-for basis, but still easily accessible).
