About Brock’s Gap Training Center (BGTC)

BGTC is a member-managed corporation that is chartered to support our Second Amendment rights by:

  • Offering educational, training and developmental opportunities to the public.
  • Promoting safe handling of firearms during target shooting and related activities.
  • Offering supervised competitions in a multitude of shooting disciplines.

Preferred candidates for membership are known or trustworthy individuals who have demonstrated an ability to use firearms responsibly and safely and who are able and willing to contribute to the mission of BGTC.

Membership Requirements

To become a member, you must:

  • Possess a valid Concealed Carry Permit, which is used as a background check.
  • Have a valid driver’s license.
  • Be legally able to possess and acquire firearms.
  • Have a current member sponsor you. The member must have witnessed your shooting proficiency and attest that you possess safe gun handling skills. If you don’t know anyone to sponsor you, you can attend a Meet a Sponsor session.  At the session you will demonstrate your shooting and safe gun handling skills.
  • While not a requirement, applicants are highly encouraged to join a gun rights advocacy group such as the NRA, Gun Owners of American or the 2nd Amendment Foundation

Dues Structure

The membership year runs from June 1 to May 31. For those joining after June 1, the annual membership fees will be prorated to reflect the remaining membership period. For example, if you join on December 1, you’ll pay only 50% of the annual fee. The following fees apply to become a member:

  • Annual Membership Fee

The annual membership fee is $435, covering range access from June 1 to May 31. Access to the 1,400-yard range is included.

  • Range Maintenance Fee (RMF)

BGTC is a volunteer organization and asks all members to work 16 hours a year to help maintain and improve the facilities. Members who do not volunteer the required hours will be assessed a $200 RMF. The RMF will not be assessed, however, until the following membership year. For example, if you join December 1 and you fail to volunteer 16 hours, you will be assessed the $200 RMF in June.

  • Assessment Fee

A special $50 assessment fee was approved by the general membership for the period of June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026. Individuals joining BGTC during this time will incur a prorated fee to reflect the remaining membership period. For example, if you join on December 1, 2024, you’ll pay only 50% of the assessment fee, amounting to $25.

  • Application Fee

There is a $150 application fee. This fee, however, is currently being waived until December 31, 2026.
