Thanks for the info.....I was unable to make it the other night because I had to work until dark. Wonder if they filled all the open memberships?

Thanks again for passing that info along.

Yes the openings are filled. I'd guess 35 or so people showed up for the 21 spots.
I was lucky enough to get my number drawn.
Looking forward to shooting somewhere 10 minutes from my house.

Please remember shooting is only 1 shot every 3 secs, I saw a guy there shooting his AR like he was at Parabellum >< We gotta keep that club safe!

Lmfao. Keep the club safe. Were you joking or are you serious?

I've been a member for a few years. Good little range for rifles with backstops at 20, 50, and 100 yds. Some extra rimfire backstops, too. OK for pistols. No real close backstops, no rapid fire, and drawing from a holster. So, good for target shooting, not SD training. I've rarely had an issue finding room on the shooting line.

Lots of rimfire competitions. Starting a youth program, too.

I use the lake routinely to fish with my daughter. Tons of smallmouth.

There is a nice clear area to set up targets for bow as well.

If you want to rapid fire, use close targets, or use steel, you'll need to look elsewhere.

Didn't even know it was there, but I guess it doesn't matter, as it sounds like a Fudd club anyway!?

Well for $100 bucks a year and it's 1 mile from my house that I can shoot 100 yrds at so I'll take it. It's 3 secs per shot since its in the middle of town basically. I don't have to travel 40 mins away for another 100yrd range, fish spot and archery area. You can put kayaks and other swamp boats to.

I know one of the guys that got a spot this year. He said they used a lottery and there were some people that were really upset they didn't get called.

Lottery seems to be the fairest way to allocate slots.

Not my business, but why would they have a lottery instead of a waiting list? The lottery is fair, but the waiting list sorts out the buyers from the tire kickers.

Their pre-announced lottery process was this: If you wanted to be a member, you had to show up at the March meeting with your completed application form and a check for the first year dues plus initiation fee plus key card deposit. Once you presented the form and the money at the meeting, you were in the lottery. If you won the lottery, they processed your membership. If you did not win the lottery, they returned your form and check.

Assuming that they followed that process at the meeting, anyone who was in the lottery was probably more than a tire-kicker. The problem I see with waiting lists is that the list can be manipulated by unscrupulous people who might have access to the list. The lottery process seems fair to me.

Also note that DCC apparently does not open up the membership until March of each year. This gives existing members time to renew. If you haven't renewed by March, you give up your membership and your slot goes into the lottery.
