Membership Information

Thank you for your interest in the Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club! We are a community club that promotes the shooting sports, located at 8503 Chambers Creek Road West in University Place, Washington. We are situated on a 50-acre parcel of land in what has been described as a park-like setting. The shooting facilities include ranges for smallbore, centerfire, pistol, airgun, and archery; there are no shotgun facilities. All firing points are covered for year-round comfort and there is a full-time resident manager on-site. Club regulations and operations are governed by a 17-member Board of Directors that meets every two months.

Prospective Members

• Membership is open to U.S. citizens who are at least 18 years of age.
  
  

• Fees for NEW members will be $150 plus a one-time $35 initiation fee, for a total of $185 for the first year of membership.
  
  

• Fees for EXISTING members that renew in calendar year 2010 will be charged the $140 rate with no initiation fee..
  
  

• However, beginning Jan 1, 2011, the renewal rate for all members will be $150, but the maximum allowable credit hours will increase from 8 to 10 hours. This means the minimum amount that all members will pay will now be $50 per year. Therefore, "working" members could actually end up paying $10 less per year than before. . We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, and MasterCard as forms of payment; sorry, no American Express.
  
  

• All prospective new members are required to take a free 20-minute Range Familiarization Tour before being allowed to join. This tour is given every Saturday morning at 9:30 AM sharp. At the completion of the tour, individuals may join by providing some basic contact information, photo ID, payment, and by signing a statement that he/she is familiar with the basic rules of firearms safety and will hold TRRC harmless.
  
  
• At the time of sign-up, new members are provided an access badge that opens a locked gate at the front entrance. This badge will show the member’s name as well as the renewal date of his membership.
  
  
• Members are free to come and go at will using their badge, and to use the range facilities immediately but must adhere to all Club rules and regulations.
  
  
• New members are also provided the latest issue of the TRRC newsletter, which provides:
  
  
  • The rules and regulations of the club.
    
    
  • The names, phone numbers, and email addresses of all TRRC officers and Board members.
    
    
  • The general range schedule of planned formal competitive events.

Volunteer Opportunities

You can choose to reduce the cost of you annual membership renewal to as little as $50, as follows:

• By putting in volunteer work on various individual or formal work parties. The credit for this work is $10/hour worked, to a maximum credit of $100.
  
  
• You may volunteer your time and talents on any of several programs or committees such as the Range Safety Officer (RSO) program, Membership Services Office (MSO), Newsletter, Web page, etc.
  
  

• Any new member that you recruit earns you a credit of $40. Although there is a maximum allowable credit of $80, the general recruitment of new members is encouraged.
  

  
  

• All credits toward the reduction of renewal costs must be compiled by the individual member on a specified form, adhering to the Club’s honor system, and presented at the time of renewal.
