Our membership is capped at 750 Regular and 37 Military Memberships per our Club By-Laws. We accept applications to be put on our waitlist throughout the year, we encourage you to submit an application to be put on the waitlist. No money is required when you apply - only when you accept an invitation to become a member.
SLSC accepts new members once a year. Current members have the opportunity to renew their membership starting mid-June and continuing through July 31. At that point, the Membership Director determines how many vacancies can be filled. Names to fill those vacancies are taken from the waitlists in the order they were received. When your name comes up, you will receive an invitation to join with instructions. It is VERY important that you adhere to the timelines in those instructions. If the Membership Director does not hear from you in the time frame allotted, it is assumed you are no longer interested, and the Membership Director goes to the next name on the waitlist to fill that slot.
We have two main types of membership - Regular Member and Military Member. The main difference between the two is with the Military Membership the one-time initial fee is waived for up to 4 years as a courtesy to our Military members who may only be stationed in our area a short time. If after 4 years as a Military Member, you wish to continue membership you will need to pay the one-time initial fee of $250. To qualify as a Military Member, you need to be Active-Duty Military at the time of membership offering. Regular Membership covers all other people applying for membership.
In addition to a Regular Membership, we also offer Associate and Dependent Memberships. A Regular Member may sponsor their spouse for an Associate Membership and Dependent Memberships for their children ages 11-20. Military Members are not allowed to sponsor Associate or Dependent Memberships.
Per our bylaws, to be a member of our club you need to be a U.S. citizen of good character, approved by the BoD, and 18 years or older (dependent members are aged 11-20).
Once you are accepted into the club, you are required to attend a New Member Orientation Class. This class educates new members on the standard operating procedures (SOP) of each of the ranges which members have access to and certifies you as a SLSC RSO permitting you to open/close and operate shooting ranges safely. Several of these classes are offered August through December. At this class, you will be given an ID card with your name and qualifications listed, as well as the RFID card that gets you through the electronic front gate. If you do not attend one of these classes, you will not receive your SLSC ID or RFID cards and will not have access to the club grounds and must wait until August the following year before another class is scheduled.
To register your name on our waitlist, go to our website at sannerslake.org, select the 3 bars in the banner, scroll down to Membership, then select either the Regular Waitlist or the Military. Follow the instructions on the page. Please note that being on the waitlist does not grant you membership privileges or access to the club grounds. While on the waitlist, you may occasionally receive emails regarding activities at the club, but those are for information purposes only.
It is important that your contact information is accurate and up to date. We are not responsible for updating your information once the information is provided. You must ensure it accurately reflects your current email address in order to be informed you have been “Invited” to join.
