Initiation Fee and Yearly Dues

Full Club Membership is currently $155.00 initiation fee with yearly dues of $165.00 per year. All memberships expire December 31^st. Dues for the first year that a person joins the club are adjusted on a quarterly basis. Quarterly Adjusted dues are shown below.

Succeeding Year's Dues and Work Bond

A members second year dues will be $165.00 plus the requirement to perform a Work Bond, which is 8 hours of approved work for the club. If a member does not perform a Work Bond, then the annual dues increase by $110.00, for total annual dues of $275.00. The Work Bond is used to reduce the next years dues, not the current year in which the Work Bond is earned.

In your first year of membership, you will have many opportunities to earn a Work Bond. Monthly work parties that perform maintenance work on the range, working at some of the club sponsored matches, hunter sight in during September and October, painting, plumbing, and other handy man work around the Trap and Skeet Clubhouse, are some of the typical projects that allow a work bond to be earned.
