To access the range, in addition to a current Post membership, you will need a paid range membership and gate key. Cost for a year is $50.00 and may be gotten in the canteen during normal operating hours. The key may NOT be duplicated nor loaned out. Use of the range area for any purpose by a member requires possession of a range pass. Use of the handgun range requires possession of a range pass. (At some future time, it will be fenced as well.)  Visitor policies remain in effect. If challenged on the range, one must be able to show their Post and Range membership and key. If a guest, the sponsor must be present. 

Violation of any range rules may result in a lifetime ban from all range activities.
