Rates for what? Membership? Range fees?

I believe Membership has stayed the same - at least thats what the Membership Committee were told.

Not sure what has gone up though I expect range hire might have done???

Would be nice if General Council had been told whats happening so when the members we are supposed to represent ask questions we can answer them!

Love

Everything goes up - it is the way of the world, businesses need to make profit to survive - just look at the threads in GoM

I wish, my rates are slightly less than they were ten years ago. A lot more competition in network engineering than there used to be.

As a "charity", should profit be a driving factor of the NRA? Cover operating costs and a little "put by", obviously, but profit...?

And as someone who left the NRA 15 years ago and hasn't shot there outside of Phoenix, save for once or twice with the affiliated club, how much do they charge now for membership and lanes?

like with everything, its not how much you earn...its how much you spend that matters, is the NRA putting the money to good use? if yes then fine, if it is going to blow it on poor decisions, as has previously been suggested then not so good.

So we can expect to see the extra funds go to provide a strong, well argued campaign against the stupidity Theresa May seeks to impose upon us in order to pander to populism in complete disregard of the facts of gun ownership and crime? How much does a backbone cost these days?
