Wait, what? I must have missed that bit in the newsletter. Why did they close membership? Will they re-open it, or have a maximum number of members, or what?

Taken from their website:

"Your Board of Directors has closed our clubs membership effective November 7. This is for the outdoor range only. Our indoor range membership remains open. We have taken this step due to the increase in new members and the work load it is causing our secretary, the increased maintenance and damage to our outdoor facilities. This action has not come quickly and with much consideration by your board. We will be able to answer your questions, if any, at our November 25th Club meeting."

Looks like the outdoor range is getting too much wear and tear.

That I can understand. The railroad ties at the plinking range have been reduced to mere splinters, and I'm sure some inspired idiots keep shooting up the numbers at the bench rest range.

I was there a couple of weeks ago and the ties on the plinking range have been removed. My only complaint with the facilities is I wish there were more steel bays for pistol. Or wish the cowboy targets were made out of a stronger steel to allow all pistol calibers to be used.

Been a member there since '02. I loved it there for the first 6 or 7 years, but it seems, to me at least, that it's gone downhill since the great rush of '08 and '09. I never felt uncomfortable around anybody I encountered there before, but some of these new folks just make me feel the need to pack up and go home. Still keep up the membership, but in the last 2 years I've been there maybe 3 times.
