The ranges I went to overseas had annual fees in the high $100's so to me the Tect Park Range fees are minor in comparison.

Yes Bryan. I can relate back to the game bird licence. I hunt the whole season and really get my moneys worth, and I do not begrudge the fee charged. However, you will see a lot of people complaining about the fee, because they only shoot opening weekend. It's the same situation for me with the range fees. It is my choice not to participate in all the activities, but I am disappointed that there is not a provision for people like me to only use the range infrequently, and pay a reasonable fee/donation like Taupo.
