Any word on membership info yet? I know ZSA has been holding matches there for a while, but haven't received any info about memberships, opening date, etc.

 

I'd be interested. Any idea on initiation fees/dues?

 

You can go to their website and request to be put on their email list. I believe the initial membership fee for regular members is $200.00. I also believe, if my memory is correct, they will accept 100, first come first served, life memberships for $500.00. They are having a cookout at the range on Dec. 1st. for all prospective members from 10:00am to 2:00pm. The exciting thing about this range is the possibility of having a 1000yd. rifle range. I haven't heard any more news about that part of it. Here's the link: http://www.ccgci.org/

 

Just click on the "Contact Us" tab and put in your info. You can also go to the events tab and register for the cookout.

 

Hmmm.... Think I need to be there on the 1st. I really like where I shoot now, but only have a 100yd range.

 

Will it be open to the public for a fee as well? Or members only? I'd love to be able to shoot at a 1000 yard range. Certainly none in my area.

Is this out towards Lake McIntosh?

It is in North Alamance Co. just to the north of Hwy 62. and about 3/4 mile east of Hwy 49. According to what I've read so far, this will be a members only club and not open to the public. I am going up there Saturday to the cookout to check it out................... Dave

 

Well, if it's members only, I wonder if a member can take a guest??!! I'm from Alamance County and still get up there to visit family every couple months.

I hope they decide to open it to the public for a fee. 1000 yard ranges are few and far between.

 

Just registered for the cookout on their website. Should be interesting, can't wait.

 

Wonder if I can get there AFTER the 2-gun rimfire match at DPRC......

 

I'll be there. I'll knock off hunting around 10 & come scoop up the missus on the way.

 

I'll be there as well.

 

I went this morning. Met Qball. Mistook another guy for Crazy Carl and he looked at me kind of weird when I asked him.

The range is pretty nice. It's in its infant stage. 2 50 yard pistol pits and a 200 yard rifle range. The 1000 yard rifle range is next in line to be built but there is still a lot of earth to be moved. No real eta on it yet.

It's a not for profit club, so they need dues and members to begin expanding. No power, water or club house yet. But the vision seems to be there if members join and contribute. They want to sponsor a lot of junior shooting programs and such. I liked what I saw and heard.

I'm probably going to join.

Regular membership application fee is $200. Annual membership dues for 2013 will be $100. Dues will likely increase as the range expands and as voted on by the club.

There is the option to join as a "founder" for a $500 application fee. Only 100 of these are available. After 15 years a founder converts to a life membership, which does not require dues and can be transferred to an heir.

Applications are on the website. After you complete the form, you have to attend an orientation/saftey meeting with the RO. After he concludes that you are safe and competent with firearms, you send in your money and will receive Range ID and the gate combination. Range will be open 7 days a week.

Membership includes your immediate family, and you are allowed to bring guests. They don't really have a set number of guests you can bring, they just said "bringing 10 people is pushing it." I expect most rules like that one to be hashed out and finalized by members at the first few club meetings.

 

damn... ANOTHER nice place to shoot... thats an hour from where I live!

I need to move to Graham or Burlington....

I like wake county for a lot of reasons... access to shooting is definitely NOT one of them.

 

Yeah. Looks like it has tons of potential. Nice meeting you today Shane. One important note about this up and coming range: They have over 1000 acres to work with and the owner of the land is a very prominent Greensboro corporation whose sole wish for this land is a gun range. So as the tour guide told us today, if the guys they (the land owner) hired to get it started can't do the job, they'll keep searching until they find someone who can.

On my laptop the membership page was kind of quirky. If you can't see the whole page on the screen, you have to scroll down and slide the bar over to the right to see the "Next" button. Navigating to the Login page is kind of tricky as well. I just submitted my membership application a little while ago. You don't have to pay anything until after you've been to Orientation and accepted. Then you pay the initiation fee. The annual dues are expected to be due sometime in January. There is a possibility that Orientation may start next weekend but that's not certain yet.

Take care and I hope to meet more CSC folks there..................... Dave

 

Only bench shooting?

 

Only bench shooting?

Nope. In fact, there aren't any benches yet.

The pistol bays won't have a dedicated firing line. There also won't be any rules against rapid fire, etc.

 

I would love to be able to use this range but at 2 hours away i just cannot see paying for a membership that i will use once or twice a year. It would be nice if they had a couple days a month they are open to the public for a fee. If the 1000 yard range was open it would be more enticing to get the membership.

X1. What he said.

At one point, I heard one of the trustess mention that the club may consider days open to the public to generate revenue. I assume that will be something else hashed out and voted on after the club is established.

However, they did say that the 1000 yard range isn't going to be open to just anyone, even members. They said you would have to demonstrate to an RO that you can keep rounds in the berm because they don't want people that don't know what they are doing plinking at 1000 yard targets.

So I don't know that they would ever open that up to the general public.

 

Thats understandable limiting the 1000 yard range. I just want a range beyond 100 yards. The only range that i know of near me is the newly opened range off horneytown rd in high point it is about 1hr 20 min from the house and has just 100 yards. Their pricing is too high at 20 a person if your only gonna be there an hour. Its not bad if you spend the whole day but i know i cannot afford the ammo to be shooting much more than a couple hours. If anyone knows a range near Danbury let me know as i have yet to find one.

 

Is anyone that is planning on joining going to the range certification classes this weekend? I'm gonna go to the one this Saturday the 8th from 10-12. They have the registration for them up on their website. The 10-12 session is full, but there is another one from 2-4 Sat. They also have one from 2-4 on Sunday the 9th and then another on 12/12 from 3-5.
