Forms & Documents
Membership
Membership
Annual memberships are valid from April 1st through March 31st of the following year. Memberships may be purchased at the Club's monthly meetings.
​
it is imperative that all members sign in the registry book as soon as they enter the gun range and before proceeding to any of the various ranges. Members must ensure that all guests they bring to the range complete a guest pass and put this pass and the $5 fee in the drop box before proceeding to any of the ranges. Guests must be with a member in good standing at all times. For insurance purposes no one should be on the gun range without signing in or completing the guest pass.
Any member found not to have signed in or have guests with them who have not completed the guest pass and paid their fee, will have their membership suspended for a minimum of 3 months. Members also have the right to request to see any person’s membership card at any time or check to see if member’s guests have completed passes. Should someone be found on the range without their membership card or with guests who have not completed the guest pass, please ask them to leave and report it to any of our directors.
We have to work together to ensure that everyone stays safe and the gun range does not get closed due to our negligence.

Procedures
Signing in at the range is for tracking total range use for the Chief Firearms Officer, not to track individual member use. Privacy is maintained by all members and their guest when signing in at the gate with their membership number, not their name. All members at the range may be expected to prove current, paid membership status.
​
Guests must also sign in and must have their completed Guest Pass with them at all times. Any member of the club may ask to see their Guest Pass, or, if the guest is a member of another club, their membership card for their home club.
​
Do not take the targets from the pistol range to use at the rifle range. You must bring your own targets to use at the rifle range.
Do not use damaged steel targets on any of the ranges; this is a dangerous practice and someone could get hurt or worse.

Removing your targets from target boards and disposing of them in the barrel.
Picking up your spent brass and shot shells. Dispose of them in the barrel or take them home.
Leave the range as clean--or cleaner--than you found it.
Remember that your behavior on the range and the condition you leave it in will determine if this range will continue to exist.
