If you haven't gotten the email, WCAN just opened up their rifle/shotgun range and silver membership.
Looks like the hours are still the same Tu-Sa 10am - 6pm but when I called they said they are hoping to extend them in the next couple of weeks as they get more staff.


------
Greetings members and shooters at WCAN,

I am pleased to announce that the long awaited rifle and shotgun bay is now open. Access to the rifle and shotgun bay will require a Silver level membership. Listed below are the Silver membership rates as well as current ammunition restrictions. Bronze level members have 60 days from today's date (April 10, 2013) in which they may upgrade to a Silver membership and have the initial cost of the Bronze membership ($25) subtracted from the cost of the silver membership.


Ammunition restrictions:
Maximum rifle caliber size 7.62x39
Shotgun ammunition must be 00 buckshot, slugs, or higher
All rifle caliber ammunition must be nickel or brass cased and fully metal jacketed


SILVER MEMBERSHIP:
$250 (individual) per year
$300 (family) per year
$9.13 per guest (up to two guests)
$7.50 per child (min age 8 years old)

I find this highly offensive.
Why is that, they want to keep your brass? I brought it in, I can take it out.

Maybe for those who don't pick up, or the ones that fly out of the area you can actually retrieve them?

This is the problem with ranges. They could easily design areas that sloop back to the shooters, better sides to deflect brass to stay with in your area, etc.
I still say they want to keep your brass to resell and they are to lazy to sort.

I agree! I'm surprised they don't actually design them for the floor to be made of steel grates, or slope away from the shooter. Not that hard to have a roller with a magnet strip on it. Greedy bastards.

I saw somewhere else that the family membership only applies to kids under 18, not a household, like some others do. Anyone know if that's true? Since my kids are 18+, $300 for the wife & I is high....

:timeout:

High membership fees and limitations to "kids" actually benefits everyone. What good is a "Membership" when the place is packed 5 deep every day of the week. When a "Family" can consist of 25 single guys who rent a large house?

Ranges that are convenient to large population centers will be able to charge more and often do so to somewhat limit the amount of people shooting. They also make more from the walk-in shooters that pay a daily fee.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I assume the membership and range rules are the same for WCA-north as are listed on the WCA main website?

Bronze membership $25, $15 per visit., unlimited time.

Members can draw from holster after safety check.

Website lists the pistol range as 20 yards, is the bronze member accessed pistol range at WCA-north 20 yards as well?

How many pistol lanes at WCA-north?

Assume one can use own targets? (23 x 35 silhouette)

Thanks

Not if you think that range trips are free and after you 300/15=20times a year you have paid for your membership and from there it is free to use.
