Question of the Week: Complimentary Limited Membership

“How do I join with a Complimentary Limited Membership?”

 

First, here’s what NOT to do: DON’T complete a form and send it in yourself.

If you’ve never previously been a member, a Complimentary Limited Membership allows you to compete in registered tournaments during the current year. When you go to your first registered skeet or sporting clays shoot, the club will complete a CLM form and submit it with their shoot report. That’s the only way a CLM form is accepted: when it is submitted by the club with a shoot report.

The CLM is effective from the time you sign up at your first shoot until the end of the shoot year. While you don’t have voting privileges, you get many of the benefits of a paid membership, including the ability to compete in registered tournaments, a membership card, rule book, classification card, monthly digital magazines, and eligibility for SIAI gun floater insurance.

Question of the Week: Lost Membership Card

“I lost my membership card. While I’m waiting for a new one, can the club verify my membership online?”

 

Yes. Clubs can verify membership and classification information through the Member Look-up feature.

The Member Look-up feature will list whether a member is current or expired, list classification by gauge, and show shoot histories as well.

Note: NSCA has a comparable page at NSCA Member Look-up.

Question of the Week: Accidental Account Creation

“After my membership lapsed, I accidentally had a new member number set up when I rejoined because I used a shortened version of my name. I previously used my formal name. Can I have those two accounts consolidated under one name so all my records will be correct?”

 

Yes, if you will contact NSSA-NSCA headquarters at 210-688-3371, a member of our staff will help you. Please have both member numbers available so we can locate the member records and consolidate them.

We urge renewing members to be careful to use the same name each time so your records will be accurate, and if at all possible, provide your member number on your renewal. Use of the number will ensure that we don’t confuse you with someone else of the same name. Remember that if you have ever been a member before, even if your membership has lapsed, we consider you a renewal when you rejoin. Your shooter number stays the same for life so your lifetime records will be correct.
