Step 2: Confirmation will be sent to you (by email) that your application has
been received in its entirety and is now active. If you do NOT hear anything
within 7 days, please e-mail an inquiry as to the status of your application.
Step 3: Ensure that your interview is scheduled at a mutually convenient time.
To ensure you are interviewed by the most qualified club officer, please
indicate in a separate e-mail your first, second, and third shooting discipline
(i.e., handgun, rifle, shotgun, archery) in order of priority.
• A date and time will be agreed upon.
• The interview will be conducted by a Trustee, Officer or other established
club member; an interview form will be signed by you and the interviewer.
• During the interview, you will elect membership in a committee of interest;
the Committee Chairman will be notified and a follow-up interview may be
conducted by the Committee Chairman at their discretion.
• Following successful completion of the interview, the membership committee
will determine eligibility of the applicant. If eligible, the applicant will be
issued a temporary membership card for the express purpose of completing the
final eligibility requirements (additional interview, training, safety class if
needed, etc.). This card will be printed with a list of ranges to which each
applicant must be oriented prior to range use as well as a general range safety
class that might be required. This card does not allow the applicant to use the
club without being accompanied by a member, but will be your record of range
orientation, safety training and committee involvement.
**Step 4: Safety Training
• Provide a copy of a certificate or other means of verifying successful
completion of safety and live fire training (e.g., NRA Basic Pistol, live fire
course administered by any reputable firearms training institute or
credentialed club member); or
• A club member who's also a credentialed instructor and is familiar with you
as a shooter can formally certify that all safety and skill set requirements
are met (They will sign your temporary card; Safety Training_________________);
or
• You may elect to attend a formal half day safety training course [must bring
a handgun or rifle (.22 lr caliber maximum)] or any of the many full day
classes administered periodically at Bradford.
**Step 5: As a guest of a range Committee Chairmen, you will be orientated to
the safe use of the range (s) in your discipline (s) of choice: Ross Hill and
Mosena handgun and rifle ranges; trap, skeet, five stand. Prior to using any
range, you must undergo range orientation.
**Step 6: You will meet with the Chairman of the Committee on which you will
serve.
(**Steps 4-6 might overlap and not be sequential.)
Step 7: You will attend and be voted in at a Thursday Club meeting (monthly
meetings are the 3rd Thursday of each month), at which time you will pay the
annual fee of $250 (dues $150 + capital fund $100), sign a liability waiver
form and receive your member card. For those applicants who will be accepted
into membership after December 31st, there is a reduction in dues by one half
($75.00 payable vs. $150.00).
EACH YEAR MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL TAKES PLACE BEGINNING IN JUNE by providing a copy
of your current year NRA card, a new updated signed waiver, and payment of the
annual fee of $250.
