Also, shooting ranges should advertise and have more days where they are open to the public to promote the sport.

Less and less ranges are open to the public, and some don't even allow guests to discharge firearms on the property. This trend will continue because of the liability that the club faces if there was to be an incident, and because the existing ranges are becoming busier and busier. My former club used to have free sight in days for the public, but they were discontinued because of the safety issues that resulted from having people that had no clue as to range safety, and because so many non members came out, that it reduced opportunity for the paying members at the most busiest time of the year. And with some clubs implementing membership caps, how do you justify allowing non members to use the facilities when you are turning away people willing to pay for a membership?
