How many guests are allowed with a senior member?

 

[RKBA]

Just got back from the DRRC new member's orientation with membership card and gate key in hand (well, actually on a nifty DRRC lanyard). Kudos to club VP Joe Keller for standing and talking nearly non-stop for almost 4 hours. That's stamina!
Membership is just over 1600 and I'm now officially one of them ...woohoo!

Congrats, you will enjoy it. I've been a member since 2006 but shot out there for years with other members before joining up. I enjoy putting in my volunteer time at the hunter sight in days. Lots of hunters don't understand ballistics and scope adjustment so they are genuinely thankful for some help. Plus, getting them on target hopefully translates to more ethical shots in the field. I'm glad the shotgun range is back up and running too. I haven't shot it yet but summer is coming

Gosh that's a beautiful set up you've got there! It looks especially nice right now considering the time of you your picks were taken. If I lived closer I would absolutely consider becoming a member.

What's the rule on SBRs and pistol ARs? Which range are allowed? I have a 22lr suppressed sbr that I take out to 25 yards, and a AR-15 SBR that I run both suppressed and Un-supressed. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to find out everything before I decide to join.

$4800 in dues would have bought alot of gas to go shoot in the wood's. Just sayin.
We have some clear cut's out here you can run out to 1870m +/- a few.
Only cost is ammo and fuel .

That's true, but more important to me, is enjoying company of like-interest folks.

The maintenance director was an Army scout in 1950. He and his squad were in among the chinese divisions attacking us in N Korea.
I could go on and on but the point being there's more to DRRC than paying dues and 8 work hours to shoot.
Did I mention I can do all this 11 minutes from home?

You can shoot on the covered firing line or the adjacent dynamic range. No F/A shooting though. SBR and/or suppressors are not an issue.

Sounds nice. What's F/A?

No F/A Full Auto, burst, bump fire (simulated machine gun)

DRRC does what we can to keep shooting safe and enjoyable for everyone.
The big deal about pistols and rifles is ricochets (uncontrolled, go anywhere). Hence, Rules
22lr rifle can be shot on the silhouette, Tactical shotgun bay (20 yd max), dynamic range, and 100-200 range.
AR-15 rifle can be shot on the dynamic and 100-200 yd,

No pistols on the 100-200 range.
No center-fire rifle cartridge handguns or rifles on the silhouette range.
No center-fire rifles at the Tactical Shotgun Bay
Exception - Discipline Directors and DRRC Chief Range Safety Officer may suspend certain rules to accomidate a club sponsored match, such as USPSA, 3-Gun, Appleseed

 

[HuckleberryFun]

Just remember: no shooting at the neighborhood elk herd that wanders through from time to time. No, not even if you have a tag.

 

[308]

Sounds nice. What's F/A?

Full Auto, Select Fire, Bump Fire not allowed. Single trigger pull. I've shot my full auto there but only with the happy switch in the less fun position.

 

[Alex V]

It really isn't that bad of a deal. If you don't count the initiation fee, it works out to be just under $20 per month and that would drop a little too after a while. I spend more than that just going to English Pit a couple times a month.

Hey! How did you get a lanyard? I never got one...

It really seem like that bad of a deal. If you don't count the initiation fee, it works out to be just under $20 per month and that would drop a little too after a while. I spend more than that just going to English Pit a couple times a month.

Another plus is the fact DRRC is a beautiful place to spend time, especially in the spring and summer. We usually bring a lunch and there are places on the property where you can get back away from the noise. Some days there are only a few people around. Thats why we have been members since 1999

 

[etrain16]

You guy's pay someone so you can shoot your guns ?
Weird.

No, we pay to have a nice, clean, well-run, safe place to shoot, free from drunk idiots, losers, and people that trash public lands. Not a bad payoff overall. We don't pay to have the privilege to shoot, we pay to have the privilege to shoot in a nice place, which also happens to be much closer to home.

 

[Mister Bisley]

For me, heading up to the "free" shooting lanes vs going to DRRC, would be another hours drive each way, plus additional wear and tear on the vehicle. Shoot, the membership pays for itself with that in mind. Not to mention the extra two hour time investment, each time I would want to shoot. Plus, what etrain said.

Well, there are a lot of people that somehow got used to the punishment, on themselves and their vehicles, driving clear across town on a regular basis. I am not one of them. Fortunately/unfortunately? But I sure do like the looks of the place. And as far as driving to the forest or going to that beautiful setting at DRRC, the club wins hands down!

 

[Who The F R U]

Not allowing FA at a range has always reminded me of someone looking down there nose at you.
Lot's of guy's with $20-60k machinegun's that are plenty safe and respectable of others.
And the ranges you can shoot FA at only let people shoot ball, Kinda lame in my opinion but that's just what it is and why we shoot in the wood's.
Or at the big bi-annual MG shoot's out of state.
