Membership

Interested in joining the Club?

Thank you for your interests in becoming a NCRGC member! Unfortunately, there are no memberships available at this time.

The maximum number of NCRGC memberships is 800 Household Memberships, as determined by Larimer County, and we are currently at maximum capacity.

Our members renew their memberships in July and we usually have more than 100 memberships available during Open Enrollment after annual membership renewal ends.

The next Open Enrollment begins on August 5th, 2025, at 7pm

Set a reminder on your calendar to come back to this webpage on that day and time to complete your payment and application, before we fill all open memberships! Similar to concert tickets, our memberships are offered on a first-come basis until all open memberships are filled.

If you have any questions, or would like to request to be added to our email list to be reminded of our next open enrollment, please send an email with your questions or request to: membership@ncrgc.org.

We do welcome you to participate in any of our public events including:

The NCRGC calendar has all the specifics of upcoming public and club events. Weather permitting, there is something going on almost every weekend!

Household Membership

The Club offers one type of membership.

A Household membership includes:

  • A Regular member; An adult 18 years of age or older who can legally possess a firearm,
  • An Associate member; The Regular members' spouse (by marriage or civil union as recognized under Colorado law), and
  • Any children under 18 years of age (by blood or adoption, who are residents of the Adult's household, including a ward or foster child).

Members are allowed to be on the NCRGC property between sunrise and sunset, 365 days per year. (Consult the NCRGC calendar for range closures due to scheduled events.)

NCRGC Badges are issued to Regular and Associate members who:

  1. Pay the appropriate fees,
  2. Complete the Household Membership Application, and
  3.  Have attended a Safety Orientation. (NCRGC generally hosts three Safety Orientations each year. Scheduled upcoming Safety Orientations are listed below.) 
  • An Associate member is entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of the Regular member, with the exception of the right to vote on matters concerning the Club or to hold and elected position. 
  • Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a badged Regular or Associate member at all times while on Club property. Children under 18 that were listed on the Regular Members' Household Membership Application do not need to wear a Badge or Guest Badge. All others must have a Badge or Guest Badge visible at all times while on Club property.

Unexpired badges are club property and MUST be returned if requested upon suspension or early termination of membership. Failure to return badge(s) upon request may result in disciplinary action that could include cost of re-badging entire membership. The Board can set additional requirements for the issuance of badges. Badges are non-transferable and must not be shared.

Dues & Fees

Current Membership Dues: $150. These are the current annual household membership dues. Annual membership runs from September 1st through August 31st of the following year.

Capital Improvement Fee: $150. This one-time fee is charged only to new members. The fee is their share of the cost of the improvements that have been made over the years.

Range Cleanup Fee: $125. This fee is charged during membership renewal to current members who DID NOT participate in at least one range cleanup during the previous membership year. 

Lost Badge Fee: $25

Instructor Program Fee: $150. Requires a separate application process for current members only. The program runs durning the membership year (from September 1st through August 31st of the following year.)

Range Cleanups

Regular members MUST participate in at least one range cleanup each membership year.

To accommodate the membership renewal process, the July cleanup is the first cleanup of the membership year and the June cleanup is the final cleanup of the membership year, and last time that members receive a range cleanup credit for the previous membership year. A range cleanup fee of $125 will be charged to Regular members that do not participate in a range cleanup and the fee will be charged in July along with your membership renewal. Failure to participate in a range cleanup or payment of the fee will result in membership forfeiture.

Make sure to sign in when you attend a range cleanup. If you do not sign in, there is no way to verify that you have attended the cleanup. If we cannot verify that you had attended a range cleanup, you will be charged the range cleanup fee during Membership Renewal. 

Don't wait until Membership Renewals to confirm that you received credit for your participation in a Range Cleanup!

Range cleanups are generally held on the first Saturday of the month from 10am - noon except for holiday weekends such as July 4th and Labor Day. In those cases, the range cleanup is moved to the second Saturday of the month. Please visit the NCRGC calendar for more information. Questions about range cleanups should be sent to rangemaster@ncrgc.org.

  • All ranges are closed during range cleanups for obvious reasons.
  • Ranges can be closed 2 hours before a cleanup and 1 hour after for setup and tear down.
  • The June range cleanup is the last time that members receive credit for the current membership year. The July range cleanup credit is credited towards next year's range cleanup commitment.

Guest Policy

Public Events are exempt to the Membership Guest Policy. Guests attending public events with members DO NOT count towards a members maximum number of guests allowed per membership year.

With the exception of public events, guests must be accompanied by a member at all times.

Guest waiver stations (kiosks) are located at the entrance to the Rifle Range and at the entrance to the lower ranges near the Archery Range. These kiosks contain blank waivers and badges, pens, mail slot for completed waivers, range safety rules and other important information. There are no electronic waivers only paper waivers located at the kiosks. 

A Household Membership is authorized to bring a total of twelve guests per year with no more than two guests per visit, per badged Regular or Associate member. Regular and Associate members must accompany their guests at all times while on Club property. If only one Regular or Associate member with a badge is present, then only two guests can be brought at one time.  If both the Regular and Associate members with badges are present, then up to four guests can be brought at one time.

The Regular or Associate member is responsible for ensuring that guest waivers are completed, range safety rules are followed, and guest badges are worn. Guest badges are non-transferrable and good only for one day. Subsequent visits require a new waiver and badge.

Failure to follow the guest policy constitutes a serious safety violation which may result in a members suspension or expulsion.

Membership Renewal

Existing NCRGC members can renew their membership during the month of July. Failure to complete the process during the month of July will result in the forfeiture of their NCRGC membership. It is strongly recommended that Members do not wait until the end of the month to renew their membership. 

There are two steps the the membership renewal process and they MUST be completed during the month of July. 

  1. Credit card payment for membership dues (and range cleanup fees, if applicable)
  2. Completion of the Household Membership Application

Failure to complete BOTH steps in July will result in membership forfeiture. DON'T wait until that end of July to renew your membership. Unforeseen issues, such as unexpected trips or credit card payment problems, could cost you your membership! If  a member does miss the deadline, they do have the option to become a member again during Open Enrollment, although they will be responsible to pay the one-time $150 Capitol Improvement Fee charged to new members.

What to Expect:

NCRGC does not send out notification that you have completed the Membership Renewal process. Although, you should receive notification that the payment was made by the Credit Card service AND you should receive a link to the completed Household Membership Application from SmartWaiver. 

If you do not receive notification from the Credit Card service and/or SmartWaiver:

  1. Check your email spam filter, and
  2. Check your credit card statement to confirm that the payment was charged to your account.

If payment was received, and there were issues with the Household Membership Application on SmartWaiver, NCRGC will contact you. If your credit card was charged, and you do not hear from NCRGC regarding the Household Membership Application, it is safe to assume that you have completed the two required steps.

Regular member badges will be sent out mid August. The new gate code that goes into effect on September 1st.

Associate Members (Spouses)

If the Regular member lists an Associate member on their Household Membership Application, an email will be sent out to the Associate Member on or around August 15th with a link for them to complete and sign their own Waiver. 

The Associate member must attend a scheduled Safety Orientation. Once they have attended Safety Orientation once, there is no need to attend it again. If an Associate member attends Safety Orientation and signs in, but has not yet completed their waiver, an email will be sent to the Member with a link to the Waiver that must be completed by the Associate member. The email will also include the deadline for completing the waiver. 

Associate members badges generally are mailed mid-September.
