I was a member in 1982-1984. I think the buy-in was 250 and dues were 185 or so. I moved to Nashville in 1985 until 1992. When I moved back is was 400 and 240ish.
I think the level you join at is where you stay which is mighty Christian of them. |

MSSA is going to a 3 tier dues structure, effective 01/01/2016.
Tier 1 is the old, grandfathered dues. Tier 2 is in effect until the end of the year. ($400 initiation fee, $240 a year, $25 for spouse, children up to the age of 24 provided they are in school, are free.) Tier 3, starts 01/01/2016 ($500 initiation fee, $300 a year, $25 for spouse, children up to the age of 24 provided they are in school, are free.) If you were considering membership, now would be the time to come and check out the club. |

Glad I joined last may, though I've only had time to go out there about 3 times since then. I really need to get qualified on the action range.

You will have to be qualified for pistol, shotgun and rifle separately. Shot a 3 gun match and they will endorse you for all three. |

Will they let you go on a tour? That is a lot of money to put down and not be able to look first.

Of course, but the best way to do it is go with a current member or go on some weekend and sign up to shoot one of the various disciplines and ask the match director or somebody to show you around after it's over. It's a fair amount of cash to drop the first time so I get it. That said, you don't have to be a member to shoot any of the scheduled matches so keep that in mind. |

Those of us that shoot 3 gun will be grandfathered and will get all 3 endorsements. |

The application fee is high, but it keeps out he area riff raff of all sorts (not a race thing). It is worth knowing the guy shooting next to me has been through a thorough check. To expensive for sighting in your deer rifle once a year. My wife and kids love it. 600 yard range (NRA High Power - F Class match range) 200/300 range 8 bay action pistol bays 15 trap/skeet bays sporting clays 2, 10 person + covered 100 yard rifle bays 1, 10 person + covered 50 yard rifle bay 1, 10 person covered 15 yard pistol bay Cowboy Action Archery range with elevated shooting stand. nice club house member flea markets NRA and CMP affiliated etc etc Go to MSSA and shoot some matches. You dont need to be a member to shoot matches. Meet the folks there first. The shooters are great. The match directors and match shooters will be very helpful. I must admit a few of the ROs for the non-endorsed areas can be a bit unsocial. If you go, try to get a tour from Bobby. |

It is not a bad range. There was a "fudd" vibe. I'm not used to range nazi's, chamber flags, and flashing red lights to notify when the range is going cold. From what I understand, you have to get qualified to use the 600 yard range and that it is only open certain times. I'm fortunate to live where I do. 800 member range for $115 per year, 2 covered rifle ranges, skeet house, clubhouse, archery range, 5 pistol ranges, and full auto range. Weekly 3 gun, USPSA, cowboy, and skeet shoots. If I want to shoot extreme long range, Oak Ridge is a little over an hour away. |

Cheaper than the K&N facility in Finger; but I prefer the solitude during the week.

All targets go up at the 600yd berm and you can only shoot from the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yd shooting spots. You cannot shoot a target at 465 for instance. |

I didn't know it was like that. I love shooting steel. K&M has 250+ pieces of steel plus movers. And they are empty during the weekdays. Thanks for the info.

Yea I am going to save my pennies for a K&M membership, but it will probably take me a while. I have access to land in whiteville, its closer and free. But I have to setup my own steel :( |

A friend is a member there and I went with him. For what is available in the Memphis area, the place is amazing.
