Does anyone make a profit from the dues?
- No. The Del Norte Gun Club is a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit organization.
What are the fees and annual dues?
- There will be an initiation fee of $100. Part of this fee will cover new
member orientation and Photo ID badge. The yearly dues are $150 ($100 for
members that are 65 years old or older). The first year you join, the dues
will be prorated for the number of months available for you to shoot that
year. Subsequently, the dues will cover membership from January 1 to December
31.
The spouse or dependent child (18 to 20 years old) of a Full Member who
lives in the same household as the Full Member may become an Associate Member.
The fee for an Associate Member sponsored by a new Full Member is $10.
Dependents who are under 18 years old are considered too young to use the
range unsupervised. Therefore, they can not become Associate Members, and they
must be accompanied and personally supervised by the Full Member. Only two
children can use the firing line at a time, but if a Full Member has more than
two children under 18 he/she can rotate them to the firing line two-at-a-time.
All new associate members, whether sponsored by a charter member or new
member must attend the new member orientation course and pay $7 for the NRA
First Steps manual. The associate then gets his/her own photo ID badge and two
guest badges, and keys to the gate and clubhouse. The associate can visit the
range alone, that means it is not necessary that he/she be accompanied by the
sponsoring full member.
How are the fees determined?
- The exact amount of membership fees is determined according to the
costs of running the gun club and maintaining the ranges to the highest
quality safety standards.
How much does the initial training cost?
- The one-time initiation fee covers the cost of an initial training session.
- Each new member will have to attend an
orientation class consisting of:
(1) a full description of the range and range rules, (2) an introductory
firearms course taught by NRA certified instructors which will include a live
fire segment, and (3) the issuance of a photo ID and two guest passes.
Why are new members required to take a firearms
course?
- As a result of having passed the introductory firearms course, the club
will have a record showing that all members understand the use of firearms and
firearms safety. Because all members will be certified, a member can go to the
range anytime from sunup to sundown, any day of the year, even if no range
officers are present.
Can non-members take the orientation and
training?
Yes. The orientation class is open to individuals who want the NRA
First Steps pistol training with live fire but do not intend to join the club at
this time. See Training Available to Non-Members
for more information.
How do members gain access to the range?
- Each member is issued a photo ID which will open the front gate and a key
to the clubhouse.
Will members be allowed to bring guests to the
range?
- Each member will also be issued two visitor passes that are keyed to
his/her ID number. A member may bring two shooting guests provided they are
under the member's direct supervision. This means that guests must shoot on
the same range in the presence of the member.
When and where are the club meetings
held and why don't you post meeting minutes on the website?
- In regards to posting the club meeting place and time, when people become
members they are given this information in person. In this way we can limit
meetings to members-only.
In addition, we do not wish meeting minutes to be publicly accessible. We also
want to limit access to this information to members-only.
One possibility is to have a "Members-Only" area on the website that would
require an authenticated login for access. We discussed this and done some
research, however, it has not been implemented at this time.
See the Driving Directions page.
Safety First - Currently, parts of the range
are still under construction,
therefore, we don't want people visiting the site
on their own for safety reasons. In addition, we are strictly prohibiting anyone from firing
a weapon on the property until proper safety measures are in place.
Contact a Board member if you want to visit the
range.
