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
Add a reminder to your calendar to come back to this webpage on that day and time to make your payment and complete the 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.

- Archery - Regular and 3D Events

Household Membership
NCRGC offers one type of membership. Annual memberships run from September 1st through August 31st and membership renewal is held during the month of July.
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, including a ward or foster child, who are residents of the Regular members household).
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.)
Badges must be visible at all times. If a Regular or Associate member forgets their issued NCRGC badge, they will need to complete a waiver and wear a yellow guest badge while on NCRGC property. The use of a yellow guest badge by a Regular or Associate member does not count towards the maximum number of guests allowed by a Household membership. (See Guest Policy below.)
NCRGC badges are issued to Regular members that:
- Pay the appropriate annual fees,
- Complete the annual Household Membership Application during Membership Renewal or Open Enrollment, and,
- Have attended a Safety Orientation. (If a Regular member fails to renew their membership, they will be required to go through Open enrollment and complete Safety Orientation again.)
NCRGC badges are issued to Associate members that:
- Are listed on the Household Membership Application during Open Enrollment or Membership Renewal,
- Complete the Associate Member Waiver within the specified timeframe, and
- Have attended a Safety Orientation during the current term of their membership. (A current term refers to consecutive years. If an Associate member fails to renew their Associate membership and receive a badge during consecutive years, they will be required to complete Safety Orientation again, following the break in their badged Associate membership term.
An Associate member is entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of the Regular member, with the exceptions of the right to vote on matters concerning NCRGC and holding and elected position.
If an Associate member was listed on the Household Membership Application, and does not attend Safety Orientation to receive their own badge, they can visit the NCRGC property as a guest of the Regular member and it will NOT count towards the maximum number of guests allowed by a Household membership. (See Guest Policy below.)
Children under 18:
- Must be listed on on the Household Membership Application,
- Do not need to attend a Safety Orientation (but it is recommended that they do!),
- Must be accompanied by a badged Regular or Associate member at all times while on Club property.
- Do not need to wear a badge or yellow guest badge, and
- Will get preferential consideration to become a member during NCRGC Open Enrollment following the membership year in which they turn 18. Contact membership@ncrgc.org for additional details.
Children listed on the Household Membership Application that turn 18 years of age during the Membership year will need to complete a guest waiver each time they visit after they turn 18 years of age. They can still visit the NCRGC property as a guest of the Regular member and it will not count towards the maximum number of guests allowed by a Household membership for the remainder of the membership year.
NCRGC Badges:
Unexpired badges are NCRGC 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.
Range Cleanups
Regular members MUST participate in at least one Range Cleanup each membership year (although, since they are a great way to socialize and meet other members with similar interests, it is common for members to attend multiple Range Cleanups!)
To accommodate the membership renewal process, the July cleanup is the first Range Cleanup of the membership year and the June cleanup is the final Range Cleanup of the membership year, and last month 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 fee. 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 Range Cleanup. If we cannot verify that you had attended a Range Cleanup, you will be charged the Range Cleanup fee during Membership Renewal.
Range Cleanups are generally held on the first Saturday of the month from 10am to 12pm, 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 Cleanup's for obvious reasons.
- Ranges can be closed 2 hours before a cleanup and 1 hour after for setup and tear down.
Don't wait until Membership Renewals to confirm that you received credit for your participation in a Range Cleanup!
The following is a button that opens a file showing Range Cleanup attendance this membership year. You will need to know your membership number:
Guest Policy
Public events are exempt to the Membership Guest Policy. Guests that members bring to public events with DO NOT count towards the Household membership maximum number of guests allowed per membership year.
Guests at public events are not allowed to use any other areas of the range unless accompanied by a member.
Guest waiver stations (kiosks) are located at the entrance to the lower ranges and to the upper 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 are 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 are present, then only two guests can be brought at one time.
- If both the Regular and Associate members with badges are present, then 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.
There are two steps the the membership renewal process and they MUST be completed during the month of July.
- Credit card payment for membership dues (and range cleanup fees, if applicable)
- 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 may 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 in addition to the annual fee.
