Membership

Heritage Rifle and Pistol Club is located on ten acres in the Argo-Moody area of St. Clair county, Alabama, approximately 28.5 miles northeast of Birmingham. We have been in our present location since 1990. We are NRA affiliated and insured.

Membership With the exception of our competitive matches, which are all open to the public, Heritage is a members only club. We do not make provisions for any visits by non-members except as the guest of a member.

We will meet with new member applicants to process their applications, or give tours of the facility for prospective members by appointment only. For Saturday appointments to tour the range contact Jeff Gibbs at jdgibbs@charter.net For Sunday appointments contact Greg Browning at rgregoryb@windstream.net There will be one Saturday and one Sunday per month for tours. Those specific dates will be arranged as needed to meet demand.

New applicants for membership must meet the following requirements:

Must provide proof of identity with a current, valid government issued photo ID at the time of application.

Must be 21 years of age, either a U.S. Citizen or legal resident.

Must provide proof of character in one of the following ways:

Current, valid, active duty military picture ID

Must be a current member of an organization that actively supports our full Second Amendment rights, and lobbies for the protection of all currently legal forms of gun ownership. Acceptable organizations include, but are not limited to the NRA, GOA, and JPFO.

Must be interviewed and approved by a designated HRPC officer or membership committee designee to determine if the applicant appears to have the necessary firearms knowledge, skills, and attitude to conduct themselves safely with firearms at our range.

The Heritage Rifle and Pistol Club does not, and will not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion, physical disability, or national origin. We do reserve the right to deny membership to any individuals, who our officers or directors determine, do not to have the necessary knowledge, attitude, and skills for safe shooting and firearm handling based on the NRA's guidance for these issues as outlined in the formal NRA training and gun safety programs.

Members are allowed to bring guests but must accompany them at all times. Any legal firearm may be used at the range. This includes full autos and other class III weapons so long as they are legally owned and properly registered (Class III paperwork must be present with the firearm at all times). The club offers members a 100 yard rifle range (extended distance planned), complete with covered firing line and five benchrests. There are also five areas for pistol shooting with distances out to fifty yards. Two of these areas have shelter as well, one has steel plate arrays with remote reset.

We hold a current Federal Firearms License, allowing members to take advantage of discounts on most of their shooting needs. Orders must be approved by a club officer and ALL Federal, State, and Local laws are strictly adhered to.

Membership requires a $100.00 initiation fee*. Annual dues are $125.00. The initial cost for new members may be calculated by adding the $100.00 initiation fee to the dollar amount indicated in the schedule below.

	$100 initiation fee still applies to new members, regardless of when they join.
	Initiation fee is waived for competitive shooters who have participated in at least 3 matches at the club in the last year. If a new member is currently a member in good standing of USPSA and they agree to participate in at least 3 matches in the current year, we will waive the initiation fee subject to audit of their participation at the end of the year. If they fail to compete in at least 3 matches during the current calendar year they will be assessed the full $100 initiation fee before they can renew their membership.
	Existing members who renew or re-affiliate at a later date must always pay the full year dues no matter what month it is.
	Full year dues of $125 are due in January every year for every member
	A $25 late fee applies to existing member renewals paid after February 1^st of each year
	Any member who has dropped out may pay the $25 late fee and current year dues in full ($125) to re-affiliate with the club.
	Because of all the things we need to accomplish with range improvements and clean up, the club will schedule 5 work days in the next 12 months. Every member will be required to either attend 4 hours of one of these work days, or pay an assessment of $35.00 at the end of the year. If any member elects to skip all 5 work days, or if you just cannot make it, you will be required to pay this assessment (in addition to any dues you owe) before your club key for next year will be mailed to you next year.
