Late may/early June. Not sure of the exact date. I was beginning to think I just wasn't going to hear from them and finally got the notification. Earlier at the orientation they said this was the last one until July. Hopefully you get in soon brother. In the meantime, hit me up if you want to go sometime. I shoot rifles, handguns, shotguns, you name it so I'm always down for whatever. Take it easy.

Got my invitation email a couple days ago. Orientation on Tuesday! Finally!

And the wait continues. Not so bad now though ya know since you can't find ammo and if you can it costs as much as buying a firearm to shoot for 5 mins.

Congrats to you guys that are now members. I've been on the waiting list since June and looks like I still haven't made the cut. Hopefully soon.

Our non-renewal rate was down percentage wise, but was about the same number (approx. 200 people). Phase I of the Range 2 expansion project is almost complete, and we'll be starting Phase II shortly. We're working on a video for our "New Member Orientation" and it should be completed soon.

We discussed this issue at our Board meeting last week, and we should be able to take most of the 800 people currently on the waiting list, but those will be spread over several 35 to 40 person orientations.

Chas.

That's great! Thanks for the information. I hope to join the PSC family soon!

Thanks for the information Mr. Hickok. I appreciate it.

It is a very nice range and the membership fee is very reasonable.

For the wait list, if you haven't yet, please go to http://www.psc-range.com/index.php/form ... st-request" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and sign up.

The wait list, I do not believe, will be made public and there is a statement on the wait list form that says

The PSC Waiting List is not operated on a strict first-come-first-served basis as preference is given to Legacy Members. Submitting this New Member Waiting List Request does not guarantee that you will be afforded the opportunity to join PSC.

But as a member, I can say that I believe things are very straightforward, so do sign up, it doesn't cost you do so and without it, there is no chance to join.

Until such time as you are given the opportunity to join, as PSC has about 4,000 members (if my memory is somewhat correct), at any time you want to go to the range, you probably just need to make a post here and ask for someone to take you in.

I have done that a few times with various people I didn't know, except on this forum and I believe many others have as well.
So you can make new friends with similar interests and have a good time doing so.

Thanks for the information. I am currently on the waiting list. I saw that same information you posted regarding the waitlist, I was just more or less wondering if it was even realistic for me to be trying to get in or if I should just get on the waitlist and then go elsewhere because it might be a few years or something. A big part of the reason I'd like to be a member at a range like that is to make some new shooting buddies. I have a small handful of them but they are all from different areas of Houston so sometimes it can be a challenge coordinating with them. Thanks again for the reply. I may hit you up sometime. :)

I agree with all of that. I've just heard rumors about years or never. :/

I live in the League City area and recently went to PSC to check out an IDPA match as my buddy is trying to get me into it. Anyway, the place looked awesome and everyone was really nice. It was a nice change of pace to my normal ranges which are Clear Creek Gun Range and the Arms Room. As an avid shooter it has just become too expensive to shoot at Clear Creek Gun Range as they charge per gun and do not have a membership program. Sometimes I only need to go out and shoot off a few and it's hard to justify spending $40 to try out a few rounds of new ammo.

Getting to the point, does anyone know how long the wait list really is or rather how long it may take? It's really close to me and looks awesome, but I need to find a solution to my current shooting arrangement as it really is bleeding me. I want to hold out for PSC but I fear I may wait and still never hear back from them/never have a spot open up. I thought someone here may be in the know and any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas!
