Three clubs Jamie but these days most activity is self shooting practice - at least at my local two, one of which is really a Hunting oriented club with a basic range - the other is almost all shotgunning.

The other is Hollidaysburg Sportsmans ... where I try to do some IDPA when I can and it is there I have done most NRA course tuition in past - right now that is a bit inactive. It's probably more likely these days I'll be teaching when needed, one on one.

We have our own ten guy shooting club at my range. We dont have a name, we dont have any events, except sometimes we have campfires during plinking sessions.

I do belong to a larger club, but I just dont make it out there enough to be called "active"

I am a range officer at our universities pistol club. We have an indoor range which we let anyone use for target shooting 2x a week. and we also do our own defensive practice once the others leave. I am SO thankful to have it.
Back at home I am not a member of any clubs and I just didnt find one i like all that much. Instead I usually go to my friends private outdoor range, or pay to go to a local indoor one that I like a lot.

Bend Of The River, Buchanan, MI

I provide physical labor when thinning the woods. I also BBQ'd briskets and chicken for the annual picnic last month. I prefer to work doing the non-glorious but necessary jobs to keep a club going.

Started one, in HIGH SCHOOL!

That was when I was a junior in high school, in 1971. Actually, it was a Jesuit-run college prep school, I talked with the Vice Principal (who had a rep as a real hard nose but I understood where he came from.) He told me to find a faculty moderator. I did, a chem teacher. We had rifle, pistol and shotgun, about 20 club members, trips to the local Sacramento range (Folsom Gun Club), and NEVER a problem. Not a single accidental or negligent discharge, no misbehavior, nothing negative at any outing or on campus. I'm pretty sure that the priests running the school may have raised their eyebrows at the idea of a gun club. I think they actually preferred to trust that the students would behave responsibly and applauded our leadership. We never gave them any reason to regret their faith in us.

Belong to one now, after a few decades of non-affiliation.
