Default Looking to split a family membership at Target Range, Van Nuys

Recently picked up my first handgun and wanted to see if any fellow calgunners were interested in splitting a family membership at the Target Range in Van Nuys. For four people, it would come out to $45 per person for a year.

Feel free to reply or message me if you are interested. Would love to hang out with some experienced folks who can show me a thing or two as well

Unless their policies are very very lenient what you're suggesting is not going to be within the terms of their membership, and will most likely get your membership pulled.

This is not some subversive idea that I thought up on my own - this was advice given to me by the staff members at the range. They told me the best deal was to get 4 friends together for the family membership and I confirmed (with TWO separate staff members) that they did not have to be actual "family" members. I don't know many people who are fellow handgun owners and the ones that I know (and am friends with) live too far way for a membership to Target Range to be worth it.

Still have doubts? Feel free to call the range to confirm and if you are told something different, please let me and the board know.

So.

I got one gent who messaged me, anyone else interested?

I'm definitely in. Great deal. Thanks for suggesting, OP.

Would it be kosher to announce this in the "deals and sales" forum? You could start a thread about "range memberships $45 a person per year" just to share the info with people. Give people the pertinent info (like what the benefits of membership are because their website blows) and also mention that you have some slots open yourself.

I'll corroborate Monkey9MM's statement. Target Range's group membership (not really a "family" membership) is indiscriminate about the relationships of the members.

Is the offer still good? I'll go in. I actually had the same deal with my friends and have not renewed for a couple of years.

Looks like I have 3 folks that messaged me already... so I will confirm to make sure everyone is still interested and get back to you. I'm looking to get this processed this week.

Ok, so I added all three folks who messaged/emailed with me to the membership, but only two have paid up (thank you guys!). Gave the third gent until today to at least arrange payment means, but I got no response. So I'm going to remove him from the membership and open it up to anyone else who's interested. Please send me PM.

So it looks like we had issues with email with the last gent. He made good and sent payment over. Apologies, but I am retracting the offer for the last spot.

Just called the range as well, and it could be anybody, not just family member. If anybody else that wants to get in on the "family" membership, I'm down to start another one. Let me know if you're interested. $45 per year is a great deal

I know, right? It's pretty cool that Target Range Van Nuys is allowing it. Looks like a pretty decent range too from the reviews. I haven't been there yet because I'm only 5 mins away from ASR, but for $45 for a whole year, I don't mind driving a little.

Anyway, looking for 3 people to get in on the deal. PM me if interested. Thanks!

"Group of Friends" will cause much less drama than most actual families, according to my buddy who did package snow ski "family" deals.

I'm pretty new to Calguns.. and to shooting, but been addicted to the forums. I have been to the Target Range and thought it was a nice little range.

I was considering joining as a member, and I'm wondering if joining as a family went through ok?

Were there still others who were planning to join and need another to fill the 4?

I use to be a member there 2 Years ago. The guys there were pretty cool. It's only a pistol range but it was a lot of fun.

Did you guys have to all go in at the same time to sign up? Or could 1 person just pay and give the names.. and everyone could go in and complete the registration when you had time?

Anybody interested in joining still? PM me or reply so we can sign up as a group.. $45 sounds like a great deal.

You'll need the full names of the people in your group. Double check with the range, because you may need something additional, like a driver's licence number or something like that.

The other individuals can come in later at their convenience to pick up their membership cards.

This. I'm in the OP's original group. The membership has to be paid in full by the first person, then the rest can go fill out their paperwork and get their cards.

I'm there pretty much every other week.

Wow this is a good deal. As a member, what is the cost to bring a friend? Also, does the main person on the account have to be present to use the family membership?

It's a great deal! It's only $6 to bring a friend and no, the main person doesn't have to be present
