Shooting competitions occur throughout the day for prizes. Entertainment for the kids is available. Additionally, we have a variety of items that are distributed through raffles or auctions. Proceeds benefit the club.

Merchandise shoots are held several times a year. The club holds “meat shoots” where the winner of the competition will receive a slab of bacon, ham, turkey or other meats, depending on the season. These competitions are often held prior to major holidays and anyone can enter these fun, quick shooting events. The club’s newsletter or website will have more information on upcoming events.

Your Membership is Encouraged

The advantages of membership are more than just financial. In addition to being able to shoot at a discount, members get a quarterly newsletter with all the latest about the club. Not only does the club provide a great place to shoot but also provides an opportunity to socialize while building an stronger club and even better place to shoot in the Bay Area.

Annual membership is available at $75 with a one-time initiation fee of $50. Clearly it doesn’t take much shooting to save the cost of your membership fees and more. Life memberships are also available at $1125. Members can bring spouses as well as family members under the age of 21 to shoot with them at member rates, providing you even more savings.

Everyone starts out as an associate member. Associate members have the same shooting privileges and access to the shooting facilities but are not allowed to vote or hold elected office within the club. After an associate member has been with the club for two years and satisfied the requirements as outlined by the club’s bylaws, the member can petition the board for regular membership. This level of membership allows you voting privileges and qualifies you to hold an elected office within the club.
