Joined Local Gun Club Tonite

There's a Gun Club in Rogers (AR) that has a range with some 200 yd lanes. Heard about it from a friend last year. It used to be a pretty exclusive outfit, had to know a member to get in, etc. But in the past couple of years they've made it a little easier--you pay your membership, turn in an application, go to an orientation session with the club range officer. He checks your safety knowledge and awareness, mainly. You get the club handbook and read it, fill out a "test" over range and shooting safety, and that will give you everything you need to pass the RSO's scrutiny.

So tonite I completed the process, went to the range and got checked out with about 8 other newbies.

It's GREAT to have a place to shoot more than 100 yds!

and btw, there's only about 100 members, so when I go during the week, will probably have the place to myself. No waiting, no idiots.

the gun club here has a year long wait :(

The club here has a open membership, 24 bucks a month and free dinner at the christmas election meeting.

Dang though less than a 100 members would be sweet for sure too.

Very good. Its good to have a place to shoot. To support community organizations that are involved in the shooting sports, and meet other locals that are interested in your hobby is an all around win situation.
