But if things are to the point the time of day I have for my game is totally unavailable, or if I'm trying to avoid afternoon heat or morning cold, or if I have to turn around and go home to accommodate snowflakes. . .simply put, I don't think I'd want to join your range.
My range has it's matches for various disciplines on the weekends, closing the range typically from morning to early afternoon. Result - I don't shoot on the weekends unless it's an emergency pre-deer-season prep kind of thing. I have my every-other-flex-Friday off work and that's about it. I think I'd vapor lock if they launched what your club is proposing.
