Looks like OB is the best fit for me as far as the way I like to shoot and distance from my house.  I looked at the membership page and seen the 12 hours of work time.  What kind of work is required, and is it specific work dates that this happens?  I have a job where I work 75% weekends and the other one is usually taken up by family time.  

 

Any members that can shed some light on this?

 

Thanks

Work hours are voluntary once your a member to reduce the cost of dues.

However. You are required to observe and participate x amount of club events as a probationary member in order to become a full fledged member

Work hours happen all year long. Some are simply stuffing envelopes, others can be fairly, like when they remove the lead from the indoor range. There is no set schedule. When things need to be done, an email blast is sent out to all members, and they tell you what needs to be done, how many people are needed, any special skills/tools, etc..... Once a member is done with the probation period, they can perform work hours, If you chose not to, or can't, you will pay $15 x 12 extra yearly. Many chose not to. Still cheaper than a cell phone.

Ok, I think I got it now.  So yearly dues per the website is 384 and there will be an extra 180 if you don't complete the 12 work hours?

Checko,

 

Lots of work hours are available since we have both indoor and outdoor ranges to maintain.  Like Mike said, the email blasts do a good job of notifying members of work hours opportunities.  Everything from trimming branches to filling-in pot-holes on the range road.  And then there's the administrative side like stuffin' envelopes for the annual election of Officers.  So they're rather easy to find something that you're good at.  The first six months (minimum) you're a member of the club (during your probation), you're NOT subject to work hours.  What you're supposed to do as a Probie is what Alec mentioned:  visiting the Leagues and getting signed-off for participation's and observations.

Thanks guys.   It's not really the work I'm worried about, I can do just about anything, but the schedule with my work hours is a little tough sometimes.  

 

Is the membership pro rated or does the clock just start when you apply for membership

Membership is pro rated --  You also are not required to do work hours during your 1st year as a probationary member

 

You won't have to worry about work hours till next year
