The $20 for ten weeks, is a pretty good deal.
It is pretty informal. You don't even have to be there at 12 o'clock. They just cycle people through until they stop coming (usually by 1330-1400). As far as paying your twenty and not showing up for all the match days... I don't think they care much. The score sheets often show people who have only made it to half the match days. It is supposed to be fun. People can shoot ahead, or catch up; so there tends to be more of a crowd there on nice days......
You can shoot pretty much what you want. Your scores are categorized by caliber with .38/.357, 9mm, .40, .45 and .22 being typical. If you brought a .25 ACP, you could probably have your own category! You are further split up by iron or optical sights. There is another check box for personal defense pistols (barrel shorter than 3"), but I haven't seen anyone do that. I think you get a bigger target at the 50 yard line for that.
I'm not a member there, but I think this about the 4th or 5th winter I've shot the league. Good fun but dress warm.
