Learn How To Join

Download the Membership Form or pick one up at the club. Complete the form, including the Sponsor section, and return it to the club. The Membership Committee will review your application and invite you to a brief 10 minute interview at the club. Once approved, you will be contacted to attend the New Member Orientation to familiarize you with club facilities and ranges. Bring a check for the new membership fees. Upon successful completion of the mandatory New Member Club & Safety Orientation, you will be issued a membership card and combinations to the gate locks, and you may begin using the club.

General Information

All new members must pay an initiation fee and annual dues, and must successfully complete the New Member Club & Safety Orientation prior to being issued a membership card and considered in good standing.

All members must display their membership card at all times while on the property. If you do not have your card displayed, you may be asked to leave.

Any member in good standing may bring a guest at the club facilities.

New Member Club & Safety Orientation

The New Member Club & Safety Orientation includes a facilities orientation and instructions in Range Rules and General Safety Regulations. Completion of this seminar is mandatory for all new members prior to issuance of a membership card. This seminar is scheduled as required, and is open to invited applicants only.

Orientation Seminar includes:

Club overview
Club Officer and Board of Directors overview
Range Officer overview
Possible range closures during meets, shoots, and special events
Safety
Payment of 1st year dues and fees

Indoor Pistol Range

The Indoor Pistol Range is for qualified club members only, club sanction shoots, and league shooting. .

A member may qualify for use of this range by hitting a standard 50 foot target with five (5) consecutive shots in bulls eye fashion (one hand) as witnessed by the Safety Committee Chairperson or his/her designee. The annual Indoor Pistol Range dues will be collected upon qualification to use the range.

A trial program has been initiated by the Safety Committee to qualify family members of qualified club members. The same qualification method will be used. Once qualified, the family member will be issued a Pistol Range Card without combinations and they may only use the range only when accompanied by the regular qualified member. This pertains to both Indoor .22 rifle and/or pistol, and the card will be so marked to indicate the permitted use.
