Just getting around to our yearly budget and trying to figure out if we need to raise our rates.

What we pay here in FL should have nothing to do with what you charge in Maine. Is your club public or private or a combo? Is it for profit, non-profit? What are YOUR costs for targets, land use/taxes, utilities, and most importantly INSURANCE? From that you can determine base minimum. Then you add in area demographics, atmosphere of club - nice big club house with restaurant or a trailer in the parking lot and a sani-hut? How many other clubs are in the area offering the same thing? What do THEY charge in your area?
I have lived in many states over the last 30 years. Sporting prices have varied from as low as $20/100 to $65/100 - and that is regular everyday pricing, not tournaments or fundraisers. Some places bought land, others took a part of land they already had in the family and converted an area
Currently, in MY area, trap and skeet run about $5.00 for members when you buy a multi-round card; otherwise add about another $1.50 for a non-member stopping by. Sporting seems to be running about $30-$40 for a member at 3 different clubs - add another $10 for nonmember and another $15-$25 for a cart rental - ALL of these places have first-rate facilities, excellent upkeep and maintenance, and a rep for excellent customer-focused service
