How much to join?

Membership for the first year is $140 ($120 annual membership, $5 for a new key and $15 processing fee). Each year thereafter the annual fee is $120 (plus $5 for a new key) and is due on February 1st. If you work at least one work party per year, our annual membership decreases to only $72 per year (plus $5 for a new key). If you wish to have a hard copy of our newsletter mailed to you instead of e-mailed, please add $1 per month or $12 a year.

We hold a club shoot on the 4th Sunday of each month except December plus additional fun 3-d shoots throughout the year.  Please click on the upcoming shoots tab.

Why is your email address spelled out strangely?

Due to the numerous spammers out there looking at web pages to add email addresses to their mailing lists, we have made the email address spaced out making it difficult for those automated scripts to capture our email accounts.
