Re: Looking for an outdoor shooting range with available memberships
DCFS is taking new membership applications. You still need two members and a club officer to sign your application.
It's not the kind of place where you turn in your application and can start shooting later that day. All applicants go through a background check, then get voted on by the executive committee, then you have to go through a 2-3 hour orientation. I think if you turned in an application today you'd be looking at April or May before you could be able to shoot (unless you're a guest of a member). They've been flooded with applications over the past six months.
The place was founded in the 1930's as your typical PA "Rod and Gun" club. If you absolutely can't stand Fudds or rules like 5 round mag limits, no rapid fire, no holster drawing, etc. don't bother joining.

Re: Looking for an outdoor shooting range with available memberships
I'm a member of DCFS. It appears they are welcoming new members, but like others have said, it is not a quick process. The 3 signatures are mainly to weed out the total idiots. The "safety and range orientation" takes about 3 hours on certain Sunday afternoons. Some complain that DCFS are safety fanatics (like no guns in the club house), which is fine with me. Screw around, and you are OUT! Your badge is taken, and no refunds.
