Special Note To New Shooters and Those Unfamiliar with Range Safety Protocols:

WSSA may require that new shooters, or anyone unfamiliar with range safety protocols when using ranges without a designated Range Safety Officer, attend a live-fire WSSA Range Safety Orientation. The orientation will be held at WSSA facilities and be provided by WSSA member volunteers the appropriate skills and training to help orient new shooters to WSSA range safety protocols. Scheduling will be coordinated on an as needed basis between new members and the WSSA volunteers providing the orientation.

Special Note To Deployed Military Members:

The membership has proposed and passed a motion to waive club dues for any serviceman or woman deployed overseas in an active combat zone. Annual club are waived for any service person who was active and deployed at any time during the previous calendar year, or any service person who has orders to deploy during the next calendar year. The service member will still need to pay the $5.00 deposit per electronic keycard requested (one minimum). To take advantage of that benefit, contact the membership secretary via email at membership@westshoresportsmen.org. All information is confidential and any information not needed beyond the time of application is destroyed.

Please note that we are a private, gated club, and so you will need an appointment to take a tour.
