Hey all,
I'm considering applying to join one of these two clubs. They both seem to be fine orgs. Like just about everyone, I'll shoot mostly on weekends, so I'd prefer to try to join the one that's least crowded on weekends 
I'm looking for a place where I can push my long range shooting out to 1000m or so, practice for USPSA, and do some carbine drills, so if the latter two are frowned upon, that will help make my decision. Of course, if any property owners want to let me practice, I'm very respectful, clean up after myself, and all my rifles wear cans.

It's Ben Lomond Gun Club:
https://www.blgc.org/ Their ranges go out to 600 yds. Be aware that "work equity" is a requirement of membership, or was, the last I knew. |

CRC is a shitshow on weekends. If there is a match (and there almost always is) they have priority, the are supposed to accomodate others, but mostly they tell you to FOAD...
They frown on tactical type shooting. No moving and shooting etc. Lots of range nazis abound.... |

OP, BLGC limits their membership to something like 1000 so I never find it to be super busy unless there are matches or something going on. 600 yards is the limit so if 1000 is important to you then look elsewhere. |

Or if it is no one mentioned it when I joined in August. My understanding is the cost of membership went up but the 8 hour work bond went away. |

I used to belong to CRC. After the way they dealt with the whole steel issue, I let my membership expire and joined pawnee sportsmans club. Much better, and they have 1k yards of steel...

I'm considering joining CRC for the thousand yard range, but would like details on this before doing so. |

To my knowledge the 1k range is/was paper targets only, there were some guys that put up steel gongs at one point, but I have no idea what actually happened with that. There is a silhouette range that goes to 500m (550y) where you have some steel targets. There are also the pistol berms (50yd), where you can shoot your own steel (but per the rules only with pistols and of course no moving/shooting). |
