Requirements In order to be accepted into the Elmira Rod & Gun Club prospective members are required to attend at least two meetings, provide a Police Records Check, be voted in by the existing membership, ensure all dues are paid promptly and obey Club rules and safety regulations. First Meeting During your first meeting you will be expected to introduce yourself to the Club Executive. Ask to speak with the Membership Chair, he will provide you with an application which should be completed and returned at the meeting's end. Please ensure you have your PAL/POL license present as you will need the number from it as well as some standard identification to complete the application. Police Records Check In preparation for your second meeting you will be required to obtain a Police Records Check. To acquire this, go to your local Police Department and inform them that you would like to request a PRC for a Gun Club application. The Police will ask you to provide two pieces of identification, there is also a nominal fee charged as part of this process so be prepared. Second Meeting At your second meeting you will be asked to furnish your Police Records Check after which the Club will hold a vote on your application, if successful you will be given back your PRC and asked to make payment on your dues as well as schedule a Safety and Range Orientation Course before you use our facilities. Rates The standard annual membership rate is $165/year, plus a one-time $75 initiation fee for new members. Family membership rates are also available on request; this consists of a discounted rate for your or your spouse but does not include children. Rules/Regulations As a respected member of the community, the Elmira Rod & Gun Club strives to conduct itself in a safe and responsible manner at all times. As such, we have a 'One-strike and you're out' rule for any members who break range safety or conduct rules. For example; placing a target on a bunker or handling a firearm in an unsafe manner is sufficient to expel that member from the club. Be safe, use all safety equipment, appoint a Range Officer if there is more than one person shooting and always treat members and citizens with the respect that you in turn would expect from others. After being accepted into the club you will be asked to sign up for a Safety and Range Orientation Course before you use our facilities. During these courses the rules and safety regulations of the club will be explained to you and you will be given an opportunity to ask questions. |
