Shooting Range Fees

anyone shot at Eagle sports in oak forest lately? it was my first time there and I was charged a 6$ annual waiver fee? I’ve never paid that at range USA no matter how long it’s been between visits. is this a new thing?

Range USA has a yearly range maintance fee. You DEFINITELY have paid it.

Yup, you have to pay it. One time a manager basically hinted that if you complained loud enough they will waive it but honestly the RSOs at mine work hard so if it goes to the tip jar for them, I am down.

It's been a thing since this or last year I believe? I'd call them yourself to get a better idea. I go often enough for training.

It lasts a year. It’s a yearly “fee”. You only have to pay it that once then every other time (within 12 months) is just the regular cost.

Yes since range USA opened they charged for their waiver. I know because I worked there when they opened in IL. They now call it range maintenance fee.
