The last invitations that went out will clear the waiting list and a new one will reopen in coming months. If you got an invitation and want to join, then don't ignore the invitation! The current waiting list will be deleted very soon.

At other times there have been hawks perched on the 50 yard target frame while targets on that frame were being shot at. It's interesting to note how accustomed they are to guns, and, I suppose, how trusting they are in the accuracy of the shooters.

There's a rabbit that hangs around Bay A. I've had to stop shooting to run him off the berm. I think he growled.

I got in as they were finishing up the membership system conversion earlier this year. I'm not sure what the expected wait time is now, but go ahead & sign up. It doesn't cost anything to get on the list.

At some point in the very near future we'll suspend New Member Orientations until the renewal process is complete. That's a lot of work and it's done almost exclusively by our Membership Director who also conducts Orientations. Since he has a real job also, there simply isn't enough time to do both. Plus, we need to see how many people don't renew to know how many slots will be available. Renewal season begins on April 1st and ends on June 30th.

Hopefully we'll be able to finish Phase II of the Range No. 2 expansion program so we can raise the membership cap. We closely monitor range usage so we don't overload our facilities.

We normally have about 3,000 Members and will be opening up for new members in just a few weeks. Our non-renewal rate was down percentage wise, but was about the same number (approx. 200 people). Phase I of the Range 2 expansion project is almost complete, and we'll be starting Phase II shortly. We're working on a video for our "New Member Orientation" and it should be completed soon.

We discussed this issue at our Board meeting last week, and we should be able to take most of the 800 people currently on the waiting list, but those will be spread over several 35 to 40 person orientations.
