The regular monthly meeting of the Harvard Sportsmen's Club will be held the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM. (New applicants should be there by 6:30 PM.)
Whether you're an existing member, or interested in becoming a member, please feel encouraged to attend the meeting and find out what's happening at HSC. I hope that you'll also feel encouraged to speak up and tell us any ideas that you have to make HSC a better club.
Harvard Sportsmen's Club has great faciliites including a newly renovated club house (with huge thanks to Paul Innamorati and Gerry Caruso). We also have ranges from 7 yards out to 300 yards, an indoor range, 10 action shooting pits, a shotgun range, a bunch of new archery ranges, a Class III sub-gun range, and a Class III big gun range. We have active groups in Class III, Junior Competition, Benchrest, Apple Seed, Biathlon, IPSC/USPSA, IDPA, and two SASS gangs. We have twice-monthly breakfasts in the clubhouse. And if you have any thoughts about other facilities or programs that you believe are important to our membership, bring your idea to the meeting and we'll talk it up.
If you're interested in joining HSC, the following information is from Betsy Grecoe, our membership coordinator.
Please feel free to ask any questions.

NEW MEMBER PROCESS
New members must appear at a regular monthly meeting of the club along with their Sponsor.
Our membership meetings are held at 6:30 pm in the clubhouse on the first Thursday of each month. At the meeting, the applicants pick up and fill out the membership form, and submit the application with a check or cash for the applicable fee and dues. There is no need to complete the application ahead of time as it is simple to do.
The fees are currently $150 for a one-time initiation and $150 annual dues. Student, associate and junior memberships are $15 each. Our fiscal year begins in February so, near the end of the fiscal year, the dues for the current year are pro-rated. The Board will announce the cost at the meeting.
The Sponsor will introduce the Prospective Member to the membership. The applicants are then interviewed by the Board. Basically, the Board members ask the applicants to speak a bit about themselves, how they met their Sponsor, and why they wish to join the club. Each new member will be approved by a majority vote of the Board.
New members must attend a Safety Briefing that includes a tour of the facilities and an explanation of safety requirements. The Safety Briefings are generally held on the Sunday following the monthly meeting at 10 am. The briefing is informative AND we try to make it a little fun. The Class usually runs until 11:30 (depending on how much we discuss current politics).
After completion of the Board meeting and the Safety Briefing, members will receive their main gate access card via the mail. This may take anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks after completion of the Safety Briefing. (We are a volunteer workforce doing our best to fit our club duties into our normal lives.)
We require that all applicants be members of the NRA. If an applicant is not a member, he or she can join at the meeting by writing a separate check for $35 made out to the NRA. If an applicant is already a member, he or she should bring the NRA membership card so we can enter the NRA number and expiration date into our database.
