Lone Oak Rifle and Pistol Club FAQs
1. The first step to joining is to go to The Gun Shop (1023 15th Ave, Longview) early in January to get your name on the waiting list. We have a membership cap of 450 and the number of new members admitted is determined by the number that don’t pay their dues and thus relinquish their membership. Be aware though, that it’s not uncommon for all of a given year’s openings to be taken by people that got on the list for the previous year. In other words it could take up to two to three years to get in if we don’t have very many drop out. People that have patience and stick with it do get in.
2. The cost of joining is an initiation fee of $75.00 and annual dues of $75.00.
3. The range is located on Stewart Creek road off Coal Creek. We have about a dozen covered positions for the rifle targets out to 400 yards and a covered two position 50 yard pistol range. Shotguns are allowed to be used only with slugs and only on the rifle range. There is no electricity, water, or supervision. Hours of operation are 7:30am to dusk every day.
4. We require all members to maintain an active membership in the National Rifle Association. If you are not already an NRA member when you go to sign up it is recommended that you submit your NRA application at The Gun Shop when you sign up. That way your application will not be delayed while we wait for NRA to process your paperwork.
5. It takes until March or April for new member applications to be processed and range orientations to be scheduled. New members have full member privileges after completing a range orientation. No consideration is given for getting less that a full year’s use for your first dues payment.
6. We do not offer family or group memberships. The member is prohibited from allowing his or her gate key and/or member credentials to be used by another party.
7. The club may be contacted by email at lorpc (at) comcast.net. You may also wish to view our website at WWW.loneoakrpc.com.
The violation of any range rule by any member or guest may result in membership termination and forfeiture of any dues paid.
