How much does an SCSA membership cost?
SCSA charges $100 for an Annual/Family membership and $10 for a Junior membership.

Can I bring my friend/uncle/sister to the SCSA ranges if they are not an SCSA member?
As an SCSA member you may, one time only, bring one non-member guest to use the SCSA facilities. The guest you bring must first complete and sign the SCSA Guest Waiver and the waiver must be delivered to file with the SCSA Caretaker or at the SCSA clubhouse prior to the guest using SCSA facilities. An SCSA Annual/Family membership only includes the primary member (the person who fills out the SCSA Membership Application) and their spouse and minor children as listed on the primary member’s SCSA Membership Application. The primary member’s spouse and minor children listed on the application may not enter the SCSA facilities under the membership until they have completed and signed, or had their parent or guardian complete and sign, the SCSA Spouse Supplemental Membership Waiver or SCSA Minor Supplemental Membership Waiver forms and the forms are delivered to file with the agent selling the membership or with the SCSA Caretaker or at the SCSA clubhouse.

My friend/cousin/plumber is a member but has misplaced their keycard, can I loan them mine to enter the SCSA facilities?
No. Doing so may be grounds for suspension or termination of your membership. Your keycard is assigned to your membership only and cannot be given to a person not associated with your membership to access SCSA facilities whether that person is an SCSA member or not (your spouse or minor children may be associated with your membership if you indicated so on your application).

I signed the use waiver when I signed my membership agreement, why do I have to keep signing waivers when I come to SCSA?
SCSA requires persons participating in, or observing, activities at a range to read and complete a sign-in waiver agreement each time they are at the range. This is for the safety of all present, the indemnity of SCSA, and serves as a record of attendance/interest for the activities and events that SCSA provides. The exception is that this is not yet required for everyday member use of the Archery or General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges. It is required at the Archery and General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges during all special events and activities which occur there.

My keycard will not activate the electronic gate, why?
The keycards must be in close proximity to the keycard reader pad to activate the gate. You will most likely need to roll down your window and pass the keycard within ten inches or so of the reader pad for the gate to activate. When the gate activates an audible beep will be heard and a green light will show on the reader pad and the gate arm will rise. If your keycard does not activate the gate at all, then your membership may be expired and require renewal to reset your card, contact the SCSA Caretaker.

I forgot to bring my eye and/or hearing protection with me to the range, do I have to go all the way home to get it?
Eye and hearing protection are required for all persons present (shooters and observers) at all firearm ranges when the ranges are hot, unless the persons are inside a vehicle with the windows rolled up or inside the Skeet or Muzzleloader shacks, there are no exceptions.

An SCSA (Range Safety Officer) RSO asked me to stop firing, put on my hearing protection, or etc., do I have to do what they say?
Yes. All SCSA RSO commands must be followed immediately. SCSA RSOs are given this authority to ensure the safety of everyone present at SCSA. SCSA RSOs are trained according to NRA RSO standards and certified by SCSA after passing an RSO course which they volunteer their own time and money to attend. All time spent by SCSA RSOs helping at SCSA is volunteer. Please be respectful of our RSOs and attentive to what they say. Thank them for their contribution to the safe operation of the SCSA facilities when you have a chance. If you have a question regarding rules presented by an SCSA RSO they will be happy to provide clarification, or you can contact the SCSA Chief Range Safety Officer or Executive Committee for further explanation.

Where can I find rules governing what can and can’t be done at SCSA?
During the membership application process, members commit to reading and understanding the SCSA Rules and Regulations and range Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) prior to using the SCSA facilities. Rules and Regulations and SOPs can be found and read here. An understanding of these rules and a commitment to follow them is essential to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone at SCSA.

Can I hunt at SCSA?
No. There is no hunting allowed on the SCSA grounds.

Can I carry a concealed weapon on the SCSA ranges?
Concealed carry or open carry as allowed by Wyoming State Law is permissible at SCSA, however, it must be performed responsibly in a safe non-threating manner. Certain SCSA range SOPs may prohibit open or concealed carry at times including during training, competition, and special events.

Can I bring a pet with me to SCSA?
It is preferable that members do not bring pets to the SCSA facilities. All pets must be always within the owner’s control, they must not cause a danger, distraction, or nuisance to other members, and they must be kept out of the clubhouse/indoor range.

I agreed to contribute 5 hours of volunteer time annually to the SCSA when I signed my membership application, how do I make good on that commitment?
SCSA is a not for profit all volunteer organization. We rely on our members to provide services to improve and maintain our facility. There are multiple ways in which members can fulfill their volunteer commitment including but not limited to:
• Contact the SCSA Director of your favorite SCSA facility and ask to help with range maintenance and activities.
• Provide equipment or tools needed to complete projects.
• Provide computer or technical skills for operation of the website, communications, or project development.
• Become an SCSA Range Safety Officer (RSO) and help run events.
• Become an instructor for SCSA firearms classes.
• Help with event organization and operations.
• Run for office on the SCSA Executive Committee or participate on a sub-committee such as the Indoor Range Committee or Nominating Committee (attend some SCSA monthly meetings for more information).
• Attend the SCSA Annual Cleanup Day during which the entire membership is invited to come out and conduct work necessary to clean-up, maintain, and improve the facilities. There will be opportunities provided by the SCSA Executive Committee to conduct work on the various ranges, grounds, and in the clubhouse. This is the means many members utilize to fulfill their volunteer commitment. Cleanup Day begins in the morning and continues into the afternoon with a free lunch provided around noon for all participants.
• If you have special skills and abilities but do not know how they may be beneficial to SCSA, contact us and ask, odds are there is a use for your talents in some facet of the operation of SCSA.

I want to be more involved with happenings at SCSA, what should I do?
As an all-volunteer organization SCSA relies on members to keep everything going. We need you. The best ways to be involved with what’s going on are to:
• Attend monthly Executive Committee meetings.
• Request to help with operations or participate on an Executive Committee sub-committee.
• Contact individual Directors with questions.
• Attend the SCSA Annual Meeting every January.
• Attend a Trap, Pistol, Rifle, Archery, or another match and observe, help, or participate.
• Help instruct within one of the SCSA sponsored firearms education classes.

How do I become an SCSA RSO?
Contact the SCSA Chief Range Safety Officers (CRSOs) about attending the next class.

I am not a member but want to attend an event at SCSA, can I participate?
Yes, you can. Non-members are welcome at most matches and events at SCSA including USPSA and PRS matches, registered trap shoots, manufacturer’s day, sight-in days, and firearms classes. Requirements for non-member participation may vary and you should contact the event organizers or a member of the SCSA Executive Committee for specific details. You must be an SCSA member to participate in league activities offered at SCSA.

I am not a member and want to use the Trap, Skeet, or Indoor Range, do I need a day-pass?
Day-passes are required by nonmembers to access the Archery and General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges and controlled ranges (if they are open). Day-passes may be acquired at our agents, at the clubhouse, or from the SCSA Caretaker (plan ahead for availability). The Trap, Skeet, or Indoor Range is available for members and nonmembers to use whenever an SCSA RSO or Range Opener is present and opens the range. There are standard operating hours for these ranges when they are scheduled to be open, see the individual range pages. All users of these ranges pay a use fee. Nonmembers do not need a day-pass but must pay a higher fee than members to use these ranges.

What are the target distances on the General Use Rifle Ranges, the Buffalo Gun (Silhouette) Range, the Long Range rifle range, or the Muzzleloader Range?
General Use Rifle Ranges 1 and 2 target distances are listed here. Buffalo Gun (Silhouette) Range target distances are listed here. Long Range target distances are listed here. Muzzleloader Range target distances are listed here.

I want to shoot on the Long Range/Buffalo Gun Range/Pistol Pit Complex/Muzzleloader Range but the gate to these controlled ranges is always locked, how do I get to use these ranges?
SCSA requires that an SCSA RSO or Range Opener be present in order for these controlled ranges to be used because they have special safety and operational characteristics. SCSA does provide frequent opportunities to use these ranges and we are continually developing a larger core of RSOs to help increase these opportunities. Hours of operation for each of these ranges can be found by visiting the individual range pages from here. Occasionally, our SCSA RSOs will have time to open one of these ranges outside the normal scheduled hours. When an RSO opens one of these ranges they will flip the sign at the controlled range gate to indicate the range is open, and they must allow any members to use the range that come to shoot with them. When the controlled ranges gate is open, you must only go to the ranges for which the signs at the gate are flipped indicating that they are open, the other ranges are still off limits without an SCSA RSO present who has been certified to supervise that range by the range Director.

Can I shoot my full auto rifle/pistol at the SCSA Ranges? If not why not?
No. For safety of all SCSA Range users fully automatic weapons are not allowed.

Can I bring my own portable targets to the General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges?
No private targets are allowed at the General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges. This is to prevent ricochet potential from target type and placement and to avoid potential associated liability issues to SCSA and SCSA members.

Why doesn’t SCSA provide steel targets at the General Use Pistol Ranges?
SCSA provides steel on the General Use Rifle Ranges at 200 yards and further. Steel is not provided at the General Use Pistol Ranges to avoid liability to SCSA and SCSA members from shooters engaging the steel at too close a distance, or with an incorrect caliber for the steel target, and injuring themselves or others from ricochet or splash back. Steel targets which can be engaged with pistols are provided at the Pistol Pit Complex at the SCSA controlled ranges.

When at the ranges, if my target blows onto the side or back berms may I climb the berms to retrieve it, or may I climb the berms to pick up brass, etc.?
No person should climb berms at the ranges to retrieve objects or for any reason unless an SCSA RSO is present and authorizes the action. Climbing the berms is not safe and places the person climbing in danger from shooting on surrounding ranges.

Is there a location at SCSA where I can pattern my shotgun?
Yes, SCSA has a target area set up north of the clubhouse for patterning shotguns at the west edge of the Junior trap location. Only 7½, 8, 8½, and 9 size shot may be used at this pattering area and at all SCSA facilities. Contact the SCSA Caretaker for more information on the patterning area location/operation.

Is there a Tactical Shotgun Range or a Tactical Shotgun Program at the SCSA?
Not at this time. Limited facilities space is available under current range configuration and operation. Talk to the SCSA Directors or Executive Committee and volunteer to help set up such a range or program.

Can I sight in my shotgun with slugs on the General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges?
Yes. No Bird Shot or Buckshot is allowed on the General Use Rifle and Pistol Ranges.

How do I find out when events and activities are happening at SCSA, I want to participate, but seem to miss some opportunities?
We try hard to get the word out for events and activities at SCSA, but we need members to be proactive and to:
• Visit the SCSA webpage and review the calendar.
• Read notices posted in the clubhouse and at the ranges.
• Request to be placed on the newsletter lists sent out by various SCSA Directors.
• Make sure your e-mail is current with SCSA so that you receive the periodic SCSA Newsletter.
• Follow SCSA on Twitter or Facebook.
• Listen for our radio advertisements.
• Spread the word to others.

I found a gun case/set of glasses/coat/etc. left behind at the range, or, I forgot my gun case/set of glasses/coat/etc. at the range. Is there a lost and found?
SCSA has an area for lost and found items inside the clubhouse. If you find an item left behind at the ranges please take it to the Caretaker and they will place it in our lost and found. If the Caretaker is unavailable, please notify an Executive Committee member and they will arrange to get the item and place it in the lost and found. If you leave an item behind at the range, please check with the Caretaker and/or at the clubhouse lost and found to see if it has been turned in.

I have a suggestion to improve safety/useability/longevity of some portion of the SCSA facilities, who do I contact?
We welcome comments and ideas for improvement of our facilities. SCSA Executive Committee contact information is located here. If you are not sure who to contact for your suggestion or comment, take your best guess, whoever you contact will help connect you to the right person. The SCSA Executive Committee meets the third Tuesday of each month (except January), members may attend a meeting and discuss their thoughts with us formally or informally any time.
