I've been a member of one private range or another for over twenty years. It amazes me that people (who I assume are also paying members) would trash a place the way they do. It frustrates me when I see holes shot in benches or chairs or other items used inappropriately as make shift target stands. I just don't get why someone would take a nice place to enjoy their hobby and abuse and destroy it.

As far as membership goes, I think CRC is way too open to just let anyone in. The club I was a member of back in Texas was a bit more exclusive. The only way to join was to have a recommendation from an existing member. I think that policy really cut down on the rif raf and kept the place nice.
