    I'll be out there about 1030 or so. I have some new wilson combat stuff in the apartment office I would like to grab.

    Anyone shooting this weekend? A guy at my unit wants to bring his wife who is deploying out to shoot. She's shooting and he is just going to be out there. I think I need to have someone else have him as a guest if I have her as my guest.

    I plan on heading out there at some point this weekend, but I don't know when that will be.

    Noticed that the $25 check I sent them last September just got cashed recently. So looks like my application finally went through. Now I just got to try to get a hold of them to get the other part paid since I'm assuming they will want the other half. And I need to change my address so they can mail me the card or whatever. Hopefully I have better luck getting ahold of them than I did the last go around

    According to the people running the show at the January meeting, Associate Member cards are being mailed in February and will include the new gate combination. They had some, if not all, Active member cards at them meeting and were handing them out.

    Received my 2015 Associate membership card today in the mail. They do exist! They come with a nifty plastic holder and the instructions:

    "You are required to wear your card holder with I.D. at all times when using range."

    Got my card as well. I have a guy at work who's an active member and I suggested after my range incident a while ago that everyone should wear their membership card while at the range. I dont know many people who actually check to see if they are a member or not.

    Got mine, too. I'm gonna have to work to remember to bring/wear my card since I carry my current card in my wallet. I never know which range bag, if any, or which car I'll be taking to the range.

    Does anyone know where on the vehicle the decal should be placed?

    I put my one from 2 years ago on the bottom of my Jeep's windshield. Both of my current vehicles are going away sooner than later, so I'm going to wait until I get a new one before putting the decal on anything.

    I was wondering if it was really needed, my daughter spotted the one that came the other day and put it on her bookcase in her room, little girl can't pass up a sticker.

    I'm a new GCGF member and just read this thread about the Fairhope FOB range. I live and work in Fairhope, and would love to have a place to shoot that is closer to home. I've been shooting at Styx River and Three Brothers, but both are a bit of a drive for me. I looked at the FOB website and see that applications have to have Active or Associate member sponsors. Anyone willing to take me out to the range as a guest and/or possibly sponsor my application (after meeting me of course)?

    My background: I'm a relatively new shooter, but have taken several courses from Jason Bankston at Tac-Site in Summerdale (NRA Basic Pistol, Advanced Marksmanship Techniques, and Basic Pistol Tactics). I've also shot at a few IDPA matches at ERGC. I'm a safe and responsible individual with an AL CC permit. I'd love to meet up and shoot with folks, particularly those that are into IDPA and/or USPSA and willing to help out a beginner with some pointers, etc.

    Thanks for reading!

    Is there a bathroom out there? I've looked around and all the doors are always locked for everything.

    I'm still very interested in checking out the FOP range. If anyone is interested in meeting there and showing me around, that would be great! If not, no worries. Hope to meet some of you at the IDPA matches at ERGC. I probably won't make it this month, but I'm hoping to be there for both matches next month.
