Cost depends, this year it looks like $60 for adult, $20 under 18 for two days. Some people like LEO, active military and elected officials are free. Range fees if you are not a SaraSpa member are $5/day per person.
Time is usually around 8:30am to maybe 5pm or so on Sat, Sunday ends a bit earlier IIRC.
The shoot is two days, but in the past you could attend just one day (not sure if that is an option this year). Saturday is usually a bit heavier on instruction, Sunday a bit more shooting but that can change based on things like how the weather is looking.
I would plan on about 400 rounds per person for the two days. The best setup for a first timer is a mag feed semi auto preferably in 22lr with a USGI type sling and either a scope or aperture sights. If you do not often shoot prone with a scope, you may want to try it out - you may find you want to move your scope farther forward compared to sitting/standing. Mag feed bolts work also, they just require a bit more work. I would not recommend a tube feed gun, although they are allowed. Tubes have to load in a process that can slow the entire firing line down a bit.
By all means bring your daughter. At least some of the shooters will be women or girls, and often one or more of the instructors are women also (or possibly even a girl - meaning a minor).
