I'm a member, and will be for some time too I expect. The $120 sounds about right (some branches use National to do all their paperwork and pay a fee for it).
$40 for a range is sweet, esppecially in Auckland. We have been without a facility for some time here in Hastings and it sucks.
The joining fee would be the first one I have heard though of and is not the norm.
All in all, good on you for joining up and I hope you meet a bunch of like minded fellas (and gals). NZDA is like a lot of clubs, where you will get out what you put in and as with most hunters don't expect a mariachi band at the front gate heralding your arrival. Make yourself known when you get there (the President or Secretary should see a new face and welcome you to the club on club night anyway) and you should be fine.
