Wow membership fee and monthly fee...I can only afford Elzy Pearson shooting range...

Well I heard the SGC if you were a member it has its benefits. When you walk in you are first to get on a lane over non members, you get discounts on rentals. You get first dibs on law enforcement trade ins. Now I know the elite room has a eye scanner. Now that is a hell of a lot more

It's a little funny it's in Gilbert with all the "No gun signs" in most Gilbert establishments.

That's odd. I've lived in Gilbert for around 15 years, do almost all of my shopping and eating out there and haven't seen a "No guns" sign since Costco took theirs down around 3 or 4 years ago.

Do people know it's possible to shoot for free?

You seen the price of shotguns these goofballs use to hit clay pidgeons with?
This will try to be a "status" club like Pebble Beach golf club or Mission Bay Yacht club.
Good luck to them and I'll wait for "part deux"...

I'm one of those goofballs with shotguns. Both worth around $3,500.00 each, which isn't expensive for a top end shotgun. A number of guys I know shoot $8K~$10K shotguns though.

That isn't about status for the level of guns I have, it's for a durable gun as serious shotgunners shoot a minimum of 20,000 rounds a year and most probably average 50,000 or so.

But Club 82 isn't all that expensive in the grand scheme of things. Take a look at Area 338 at C2 Scottsdale and prepare for cardiac arrest.

$4,500.00 one time fee and $200.00/month

Holy frijoles!!
I'd think for $4500, I could buy a chunk of land way out yonder, dig out a great range/berm, or have a small tactical course, and shoot whenever I want. And since it's just a play area, split the cost with some friends, and make it a shared space for us, but not the freeloaders...HAHA

What is this "gun club" that is spoken of ?

That's what I would like to see. It's a website advertising for some kind of high priced gun club / shooting range membership. But they don't post a single picture of it. It looks more like a bar & grill in a high rise.

[Elk34]

You know the red neck way of doing this. Tail gate out in the parking lot then go shoot or the reverse.

I have family that live in Surprise. Have visited it many times and I don't find anything shitty about it. Am I missing something?

The general consensus about what happened in Surprise, was that after the big housing crash hit in 2008 / 2009, they were one of the hardest communities that were hit the worst. Afterward a lot of people there ended up buying big 3,000+ sq. ft., 2 story homes for what amounted to pennies on the dollar.

While the same could be said for a lot of the surrounding communities, (Buckeye included), Surprise dropped faster in value, because they had much less financially stable people who bought there originally. And many ran out on their ballooning mortgages that they could no longer pay. The homes were auctioned off, and many were sold to, "less then desirable people". I will leave you to draw your own conclusions as to what that means.
