    im getting the tour (if Charles calls me back confirming) and want to shoot some skeet/trap. the bod is missing the point. before I join, I want to test drive the ranges. everyones quick to send me applications and offer tours, but I want to shoot when I take the tour. they told me if the tour guide doesn't want to , I cant. they side stepped the idea of bringing guns on tour day to shoot with me. seems unless I know someone and come as a guest, I cant shoot. well duhhh! why do you suppose im asking for the tour? im from va! has anyone there ever heard of first contact?
    its about as stupid as a teen out of high school being told he cant be hired without experience or references.
    anyone here a member or does any one know a member wants to shoot from guilford? if so, I wont need the tour. and I can tell you for a fact, im not joining the club if I cant test drive the ranges! looking at empty buildings and listening to a member brag about their pot lucks and fund raisers doesn't impress me.
    lmk.

    Unfortunately I had the same experience here in Florida.

    When we moved here we knew nobody from the club we went to, and had to pay up for a membership, and training class before I could shoot. Then I had to go and shoot 5 times, and have someone sign a ticket that I was safe to shoot with.

    I liked the guys, but I ended up dropping out of the club since I only went there about 15 times a year (long drive) and they kept raising the memberships which ended up somewhere around $300.00 because they Mandated you belong to other organizations, which added to the cost.

    I forgot to mention that they cater to Rifle, pistol, and sporting clays shooters, Trap and Skeet be damned.

    I am sure there are better clubs around for you to enjoy rather than this bunch.

    its certainly a catch 22 issue for sure. I will shoot at Guilford. the more a club opposes me, the harder I try to get in. lol.

    I can understand the need to be exclusive to keep out rif raf, but if a member is allowed to trump the tour first and 'run the gauntlet' rule by just bringing anyone in, how does that make sense? its beyond me.
