Membership Renewal

Annual dues for the Watauga Gun Club are paid on a calendar year basis and are past due February 1 of each year.  If membership dues are not paid by February 1, the expired member must rejoin the club as a new member and pay associated new member fees in addition to attending the new member orientation and safety briefing.

Renewing members must have attended at least one regular member meeting during the prior year.

Annual membership renewals may be submitted online, by mail or at a regularly scheduled member meeting.  Online renewals are recommended and preferred (check your email).

The WGC Membership Renewal Process is:

  • Affirm that you are a current NRA member
  • Review the annual membership dues
  • Click to pay online for an individual OR family membership
  • Sign the liability waiver (required annually) – opens a new window to electronically sign

  • If you prefer to mail in your payment please mail check / money order to:

    Watauga Gun Club
    Attn: Treasurer
    PO Box 2316
    Boone, NC 28607

    You can also bring these items in person to any regular club meeting.

Several members have asked about updated “annual” stickers.  The club no longer mails out a new sticker each year – which saves $100’s in postage and material each year.  Your gate card will remain functional and active as long as your membership is in good standing.

Prerequisites

  • Active NRA membership — present your card or member number.
  • Signed liability waiver (below).
  • Attendance at two consecutive monthly meetings (2nd Thursday, 7 PM) plus one range orientation briefing.
