Gun clubs open to new members?
Are there any gun clubs that are open to having new members in Allegheny. I live over by Sewickley. It seems that what I have found are clubs and organizations that are full and not accepting applications.

There are no required meetings, no required volunteer time at our range, and you are not required to purchase anything from us (ammo, targets, etc). You get a key to the gate and you can shoot 7-days week from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday to Saturday and 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Sundays.

Coraopolis Sportsmen, www.cdsa.biz, will probably open membership around the end of the year. You can get on the waiting list now. If interested, to to the website and get the information for membership there.
Dormont Mt Lebanon will probably open membership after the first of the year. Their website is www.mdi.net/dmlThe Lord Bless You

Stickler,
As has been mentioned, check out PMSC and Washington County M.G. Range.
Also check to see if Beaver Valley Rifle and Pistol Club is accepting members, its a good one and should be around 30 mins +/- from Sewickly. I used to shoot IDPA at the club, nice club.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will...

Re: Gun clubs open to new members?
Perhaps outline what you want in a club.
Many places have great looking facilities but for safety?? concerns, limit the number of rounds in the gun, some disallow holster presentations, shooting steel, moving and shooting. Some may limit your rate of fire to one round per sec.
There are some odd requirements and limitations under the guise of "safety".
Only 3 rounds in a rifle for safety when it only takes how many to have an negligent discharge?Opinions are like anal apertures. They all stink but mine.

Re: Gun clubs open to new members?
Sure...
1. Location
2. Location
3. Other members aren't jerks
4. Ability to keep costs down on range time
5. It would be nice to have variety (e.g. a place to practice drawing from holster, maybe a place for trap, indoor and outdoor ranges) but less important than #1 &2
6. Less expensive than Keystone (which I believe is now up to $35/month)
I am getting killed every time I rent range time episodically. Coraopolis was my first choice. I know some people who have been (possibly still are) members. I want to go to the range about once a week and build my skill ... maybe even compete someday (but mostly want to work on target and cc skills)."If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
