FAQ
You can find some answers to some frequently asked questions here:

Membership
  • chevron_rightHow can I join the outdoor range on Zink Ranch? I only see the Indoor range option on the application.
    We have a cap on the number of members for the outdoor ranges. Rather than maintain a separate "wait list", we use our Indoor range roster as the de facto wait list. Each fall after the membership renewal cycle is complete, we will know how many spaces are available on the outdoor range. We offer those spaces to our Indoor range members on a first-come, first-served basis. For the past several years we have always had enough spaces open up to accommodate all of the Indoor members that want to add the outdoor ranges to their membership.
    In early October, we will notify Indoor members to register for an orientation class (required by the Zink Foundation.) This class takes about 2 1/2 hours and we typically schedule 8-10 classes for late October and November. After the class is completed we will refund the unused portion of your Indoor membership dues and apply that to the cost of the combined membership dues. Depending on when you join, the wait to get on the outdoor range could be as long a 11 months or as short as one month. 
  • chevron_rightMy access card is not working/lost/broken.
    If you are at the Zink Ranch gate and your card won't work, call the number listed for Red Castle Gun Club.  DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER LISTED FOR ZINK RANCH.  The Red Castle contact will give you a temporary access code to use with the keypad.  When you get back home, please contact the Club Secretary (log into the website, then go to Contacts).  The Secretary can determine why your card isn't working and take appropriate action.
  • chevron_rightMy spouse would like their own membership card. How can I do that?
    Go to our website and log in (if you've misplaced your username or password, you can use the reset links on the log in page.)  After you log in, click on Your Profile at the top of the page.  At the lower left of the Profile page, look for Your Level 2 Members, then click "add".  Your spouse will receive their card in the mail within a few days.
     
    Please note this is the annual membership card only.  If you want an additional Zink Ranch access card, those are available for a one-time $20 fee.  Contact the club secretary here for additional access cards.
  • chevron_rightWhen do I pay my dues?
    Our Membership Year runs from October 1-September 30.  Members receive notice of dues in late August. You have until October 1st to pay without penalty. There is a $10/month late fee added starting October 1. If your account is unpaid on December 31st, your membership is canceled!
    You will receive a series of reminders via e-mail when the renewal cycle starts. Once you have paid your dues, the renewal notices will stop. This is a useful feature, as if you think you paid your dues and you get a reminder message after that, contact the Secretary to find out your status. If you opt out of club email, you will get a letter in August reminding you to renew, but that is the only notice.
Non Members
  • chevron_rightI am not a Member, can I shoot at your Club?
    Although the Gun Club ranges are for Members and their guests only, our Monthly Matches are open to the public and non members are welcome to participate in these Matches. Simply contact the corresponding Match Director a few days or more before the event for instructions on how to access the Zink Ranch the day of the shoot.  You can check the calendar on our website for the most current information.

Yearly Dues
  • chevron_right I haven't received my annual dues notification, who should I contact?
    If we have your email address, you will receive a renewal notice around August 20, with instructions about how to pay your bill online.  If we don't have your email address, you will receive a notice in regular mail.  You can use the instructions to pay online or send a check.  In either case, if you haven't received a dues notice by September 1, contact the club Secretary.
    The club prefers you pay online as this eliminates most of the paperwork associated with the renewal process.
