For more details, contact Rodney Brown at [email protected] or Dominic Stevens at [email protected] Will You Sponsor Me? If you’re asked that question by anyone, it is your responsibility to determine whether they will be an asset or a liability to the Club. If they have little or no shooting experience, it’s up to you to help them attain the necessary skills to ensure that they are sufficiently familiar and safe around firearms, BEFORE nominating them for membership. You wouldn’t be doing any of your fellow Club Members a favor by nominating someone who has not proven themselves safe. Doing so would be reckless, potentially dangerous, and completely irresponsible. Don’t do it.
