Doug’s Shootin Sports. $10. Shoot all day. Bring as many guns as you like. Gotta love Utah.
A set of hearing protection can cost $120 to $170, eye protection $100 for high-quality lenses that protect and help with contrasting the sights.
Sounds like she (?) is trying to scare people off with the perceived cost of entry. I have good quality hearing protection for a fraction of that, ditto safety glasses.
My go-to outdoor range is also $10 a day, $8 for subsequent shooters in your group, $1 silhouette targets, bring your own ammo or buy there (at very competitive prices). For that you can use the outdoor pistol range, rifle range, or both. Only restrictions are no tracer, and only paper targets. It is surrounded by usually very dry grassland so duh... ;-) They are extremely strict on range safety and their RSOs *will* very publicly very loudly get on anyone who makes a mistake. (and we all like it that way) Very safe range.
