How far do you have to travel to go to the range you shoot at the most? How often do you visit the range you shoot at? How much does it cost? I'm lucky, about eight miles from my house is the Turcotte facility. It has pistol, rifle, shotgun and skeet ranges. It It is state managed and cost $16 a year.

$16 a year?! :Whoa: 
The outdoor range is $12 and is a "target range" like most, 2 seconds between shots and safety nazis for rso's. It works well for sighting rifles in.
The indoor range, which I go to more often, is $18, for the regular range where normal rules apply or $25 for a private lane that allows drawing from a holster and rapid fire. Additional shooters are half price and a regular lane is $5 during happy hour. This is the farther of the 2 at about 30 minutes. The rso's are friendly and helpful as long as you are being safe.

A friend of mine has a hunting lease that's be pays $30 a year to use their range. It's not the greatest but fun as hell. Usually we're the only ones there so anything goes lol. So I guess it's free for me. Another range I go to cost $8 per gun all day. They make you buy their targets though so it can start to add up. It's not super strict but I prefer the other one simply because its not crowded

Hmm, I think it's about 10 or 15 miles away...every range covered, 4 with concrete pads and benches.
25 yard pistol bays,
300 yard line,
80 yard bay,
The 100 yard bay I don't use - that's the one without a pad or benches.
Cost? Oh, nothing. Free, gratis, nada, zippo. City maintains it and cleans it every morning....

I travel about 18 miles to the range from my residence.
After first time fee it is $200 a year for single member and $300 for family.
It is one of the top rated NRA ranges in the country and worth every cent of the
initiation and yearly fee for me.
Take a look at the web page and see for yourself.

I usually drive the 30 miles to the Rod n Gun Club in my hometown. $20/year
The range closest to me seems to always be closed for special events every weekend, is way too strict about everything and seem to be quite snobbish to casual shooters. They are also quite expensive

Go to my friend's house with an outdoor range on his property. 12 foot berm behind shooting targets.

Going to be setting up a small range across the back of my property in a few weeks. This way I'll be able to walk out the back of my reloading room and test fire some rounds. It won't be as elaborate as the guy on Youtube but hope to have at least 3 gong targets at different distances to shoot at.
I really like this guys setup.

Currently I go to a indoor range about 20 minutes away that is $15 an hour for me and the wife. If we have time we can go 1hr to the outdoor state range but it is sometimes full of people that I don't trust to shoot around.
We are looking at buying some land to get a small cabin and shooting range setup less than 1-2 hrs from our current house. Anybody have any recommendations on how much land I should be looking at. Currently most of what I am looking at is around 5 acres with 10 being the max.

IMO you can not have too much land. You can set up a range on pretty much any parcel of land as long as you have a good backstop and know for sure there aren't any homes beyond where you're aiming. That's another reason I'm choosing steel targets. The bullet will basically disintegrate on contact. But I will still have a solid backstop in the unlikely event that I miss my target. Psst, yeah, like that could happen.....:shooter:

Yea, the more the better but when you are working with the amount of money that I have available it is hard to get much more than a residential lot. I have a friend that wants to go in with me so that will make it a little easier. Just found 140+ acres for $600 an acre. Now to just find out if they will split it up.
