I haven't heard anything, and was wondering the same thing.  I hope I get a call soon or else I am gonna look like this all year:

I paid my renewal fee the day the bill came and still haven't received my new card yet. I believe someone is behind schedule.

The renewal sheet mentioned that your check may not be cashed until the middle of March.  I have not looked at my account to see if the check has cleared or not.  I would guess that the new card will go out next week.

As for the waiting list and phone call, when I got in last year, I did not receive the phone call until a few days prior to the orientation meeting...I think on Thursday.  I believe that the orientation meeting is set for March 18, so they will probably start calling next week.

Good luck to all trying to join and make sure you answer all calls in the next couple of weeks because they will probably only try you once and if they cannot reach you will cross your name off of the list.

I stopped at Young Guns this week and asked about the calls.  John told me the renewal processing was about done and they were getting ready to start calling potential new members -- he did not say anything specific, but I got the impression it might be this week - and in the evening.

As mentioned, stand by your phone.  They will not leave voice mails -- you've gotta be there to say yes.

placeholder post to up my count to 222 -- now I just have to make the next post a memorable one.

I haven't any renewal information yet either.  My check hasn't been cashed.

Maybe we all could have a Welcome to SSI new member shoot and greet the next weekend or the one after  I'll show the newbies the secret SSI handshake

I hope I get to be a n00b and learn the secret handshake.

I didn't get called, and I guess this means I won't.

Maybe they gave up for the night??  To be continued?

Or maybe I will chalk this up to my losing streak that has been going strong since December 23rd 2006.  I seriously need something to cheer me up right now.

saturnstyl -

Don't give up yet.  As Lex said, maybe they stopped last night and will continue tonight.  They probably stop calling at 9:00 PM so as not to disturb those with kids or who have to work early.

I hope you can get in.
But if not, you are welcome as a guest anytime.  
3/10/2007 5:05:05 AM EDT
[#15]
Ditto.  You're always welcome to join me for an outing anytime!  Just say the word.

Honestly, I was thinking about DPRC (as a distant 2nd choice) if SSI didn't come through for me....DPRC is just a lot further for me (I'm in Clayton).

Thanks guys.  I appreciate the invite, and although hopefully I won't have to take you up on that, I certainly will!

Agreed!


AssaultRifler, Thanks for introducing me to SSI and thanks for the heads-up about the wait-list.  Kindly appreciated!!!

I tell you all what, what time's the orientation? I'll arrive a bit early and snag one of the pits and we could have a shooting party after you all are oriented.  
3/10/2007 3:53:30 PM EDT
[#20]
Orientation is at 11:30 on Sunday -- not sure how long it lasts, but it couldn't be that  long.

Assaultrifler can prepare Sunday brunch for us in the pistol pit while we are getting oriented. (or disoriented)

I got the call Friday night, got to be at the meeting sunday morning, 11:30, bring money!

I counted 20+ cars so there were a lot of new members today!  5 of the people who got called were no shows!  I asked John of SSI and he said membership was capped at 200 people.  Showed up eary with ready-aim-fire, shot some, then deuce showed up.  After the orientation Lex joined the crew and we all yucked it up a bit.   Long day for me, left house at 9;15 got back about 3:15.  Good time though!  Congrats new members!

Great time today at SSI.  Started out shooting with Assaultrifler, then went through the orientation session and got my membership card.  Then, back to the range for more blasting.  Deuce03 shared his "toys" with us -- lots of fun.

Hey if they didn't show up.... does that mean there is an opening, or do I have to wait until next year still?

Call John at Young Guns, I don't know how they handle situations like this. In the meantime I'll extend the invite when I plan to go next time and hopefully other members will as well.

SaturnStyl-

Call John at Young Guns!!!  Who knows....."No" is the worst you can hear.


I had a great time shooting and BS'ing w/AssaultRifler, Deuce03 and ReadyAimFire.
Thanks for sharing guys!

Next time, I should bring some Smithfield's BBQ for everyone...it was a long day out there.

John liked the TIB, but Lex brought some serious competition!
