I am looking for members of this forum who are members of Delaware County Field and Stream who would be willing to bring me along as a guest so that I would eventually be able to join the club myself. In order to join the club, you need to have three current members (including one officer) vouch & sign for you on your application according to the instructions.
I have my own (small) collection of appropriate firearms (some rifles and shotguns) that I can bring along.

I'm a member, but you just need to go to the clubhouse, and tell the person behind the "window" you want to join. He will give you a form to fill out, then find 2 members plus a club officer to sign for you. A weekend, especially a Sunday, is best to do this. They will inform you when the next group of proposed members will go through the 2-3 hour safety/orientation session. This is a great time to do this because by the time you become a member, the weather will be decent. Do not bother to bring a firearm with you. Being a guest has nothing to do with joining. Just be aware that safety is #1 priority with this club.

And I love a gun range/club that cares about safety so much. Most public gun ranges that allow rentals have too many idiots. I ALWAYS follow ALL safety instructions and triple-check everything.
Are there any "strange" rules that this club has that I should know about? Like rules outside the normal ones like "Don't fire more than X shots per second".
I*m not a member but have read other threads that have some of the info you are looking for. Here is one. https://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=279110Quote:

no human silhouette targets permitted.
As far as the 5 round limit, it would bother me if I was a member but I can see why they have the rule. It*s in a fairly populated area where sound travels pretty far. I have a buddy who has a house near 352 and and Dutton Mill Road on Harrison Rd. Its probably a 1/2 mile or so from the club. Sitting out on his deck I have heard shooting many times. It does not bother me but I can see how some people might not like listening to gun fire all day. I can understand why the club would go the route they did to try and appease the neighbors.Quote:

All I had to do is submit my membership and I was in. I didn't because they didn't allow .50bmg
This was 15 years ago, had all the sponsors and everything.
