Special Attention
The gate code that gives you access to the club grounds in off hours is confidential club information and should not be given out to non-members. Off hours use of the club grounds is for club members only, period no exceptions! Abuse of this basic rule will result in the offending member being expelled from the club.
You may bring a guest (non-member) one time only and this should not be misinterpreted to mean a whole hunting party or the guest coming with you repeatedly.
If your friends want to use our facilities we have open shooting during regular club hours for that purpose. example: Sight-In days, open trap and skeet, etc..
As members of the club you have the responsibility to ask any person on the club grounds for their membership card. This is the foundation that the off hours program of open use (non-supervised) was built on, members policing members. If they refuse to show you their membership card write down their license plate number and give it to a club officer for investigation. A member who refuses to show you his membership card may have their membership revoked.
If we find non-members on our club grounds and it is not during scheduled hours they are trespassers and will be dealt with accordingly. This may sound harsh but the consequences of abuse by a non-member that has no responsibility or allegiance to the club could be dangerous to our club's very existence. If a local shooter is to cheap to buy a membership in our club to support it he/she can not be a very responsible person in the first place so we do not want them here.
