You really don't need a formal "sponsor," just two members in good standing to sign-off on your application. On Sunday morning the clubhouse will be full of dudes BS'ing and eating breakfast so that's a great time to go. If you ask any of them to sign, they in all likelihood will. Some might ask if you're an NRA member, so if you are (and you probably ought to be) you might want to bring your card with you, but it is not a membership requirement.

I'll be down on the High Power range from 9:30 until around 11:00 or so on Sunday. If you stop in just ask for Jay Brower and I'll sign your application and get one of the other guys there to sign it too.

dcfs is a GREAT range. can not say enough good things about them. i sponsor people there as long as they're apart of the nra, do not look like a wanna be "gansta", and seem to be a generally safe and responsible individual. I am only 22 and am talking like I am 65...imagine that

I am a member also. I love the club! I live very close by and it is fun just ot stop in even if you aren't shooting. I tend to stop on my way home from work almost everyday just for the heck of it. I will sign your sheet if you need someone to do so still, as long as you are as cool as you say you are.

Me and my joined a few months ago and I still have very mixed feelings about it. I really enjoy the archery range and the ROs over there. The smallbore rifle range really rubs me the wrong we though. The ROs there really seem to have sticks in their ass and only enforce rules on those who are not one of their buddies. And I cannot figure out why you can't shoot 22lr at the 100 yd range. The handgun range has been ok as well as the ROs who are over there, but they seem to frown on 20 somethings shooting there and laughing while shooting. God forbid you have fun while shooting. I tell my wife that this place is more of a target range and less of a fun range, we just go else where for fun.

Have shotguns? Come over to my range, table trap, it's all about the fun there. We have "fun shoots" once a month (although it's always fun at table trap) except July & August, that entail shooting in ways you don't normally get to do. Our next "Fun Shoot" is Sept, 11, 2011, come on up, if you don't have a shotgun we'll get one for ya to use, just bring 12 ga ammo, and if you really want a hoot, come out to the November 13 Red Neck Fun Shoot, here's some photo's from last year Red Neck Shoot: http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x...20Fun%20Shoot/

I'm a Range Officer on the 100yd High Power range. Several years ago you could not shoot .22LR on the 100yd range but that (silly) rule was repealed and you can now shoot .22LR, Mags, shorts, .17's, etc. at the high power range. Just try to do a good job policing your brass, especially in the shooting house. I don't mind cleaning up .223 or .308 (I get lots of free brass that way) but .22 is a pain.

Note that the no-more-than-5 round rule does still apply, and you must shoot at 100 yard paper targets (don't set up a reactive metal target at 40 yards or anything like that).

I'll also say that in the past 2 years the HP range has become a lot more "fun." We run 1 weekend match a month from May through December, and that's in addition to the Saturday .22 silhouette matches which we started last year. A few of them are 3 gun matches and the rest usually involve bench shooting. From January - April we run Sunday AM offhand leagues. The Military rifle league (open to any military rifle 6mm or larger, no glass) starts in January and runs for 5 weeks, then the High Power league runs for 5 weeks (open to any rifle of 6mm caliber or larger, glass is okay) followed up by the Lever Gun league (any lever action gun of .30cal or larger, no glass) which also runs for 5 weeks. You take 20 record shots each week (if you miss a week you can make them up). If you don't have a gun that's needed for a match, you're welcome to borrow one of mine, and I know that other guys will lend you one of theirs too. I might ask you to pay for ammo though, especially if you score better than I do . Nobody is gonna bite your head off. Just come up, introduce yourself, ask questions, etc. and we'll get you involved.

I also shoot a lot on the Black Powder range and there are lots of monthly matches there too (Cowboy Action, BPCR and Muzzleloader). Again, even if you don't have the equipment (yet), show up, introduce yourself and ask to borrow someone's gun (expect to clean it after you shoot it though).

Personally I can't speak about the guys running the Smallbore or Pistol ranges. However, all members are empowered to enforce all of the club's rules and if you see people violating the rules then you can and should speak up, even if they're one of the "good ol' boys" who may think that the rules don't apply to them. Also remember that a lot of the guys at the range shoot competitively and don't take too well to distraction (guys laughing at each other, etc.) while they're practicing.
