In 1988, construction was completed on a general purpose 3-range complex primarily designed for USPSA practical pistol shooting. These ranges were used for general purpose pistol and rifle shooting until additional ranges were built. Later, an additional USPSA pistol range as well as a smallbore rifle range were constructed and made available to members. A trap facility and a 300 yard Highpower Rifle range are currently under consideration. Target storage buildings are located on ranges 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Two regulation skeet ranges located side-by-side are in a different area on the property. The cost for shooting one round of skeet (25 clay pigeons) is $2.50. The honor system is used to record the number of rounds of skeet shot and the member is billed on a quarterly basis. The shooter provides their own shells.
A membership application can be obtained at a regular membership meeting, from any Club Officer or Board member or can be downloaded by clicking the link below. Applicants must secure the signatures of two club members or one Board member as sponsors and serve a trial Prospective Member period before being accepted as a full member. Successful completion of the Club Safety Course is a mandatory requirement for all new members as well as providing proof of eligibility to purchase and own a firearm in North Carolina. Dues, membership fees and stock purchases are not billed until a Prospective Member is accepted as a full member.
The annual dues for the SWGC are $100.00 plus an annual maintenance fee. A new member is also charged an initiation fee of $50.00. For the first year, the dues are prorated for the number of months remaining in the year. In order to purchase the Club property, the Club formed a separate corporation in the mid-1980s to own and lease the property to the SWGC. Each SWGC member must purchase one (1) share of stock in Sir Walter Land Development, Inc. upon being accepted as a member of SWGC. The stock is presently priced at $660 per share. In 1993 the by-laws were amended to allow for a six month payment plan for the stock share. A one-third non-refundable down payment is required and the remainder of the stock fee is to be paid in six equal monthly installments.
The share of stock can be returned to the Corporation if a member resigns from the Club, provided that all dues and appropriate fees have been paid and there is an in-coming member to take the resigning member's place. Detailed information relating to the application process may be obtained by attending a club meeting, by contacting any Club Officer or Board member or downloading the Club Information Document (below).
The Application Details link below has specific details about the application process. Applicants should attend a membership meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, September through May, at 7:30 PM at the Kiwanis Center, 2525 Noble Road, Raleigh, NC. Applicants and their sponsor(s) can also attend the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors. Consult the Club Calendar web page for dates, times, locations, and other details.
