Renewing online greatly reduces the amount of work we have to do compared to a mail-in form. The information is automatically processed into our system including for the member ID cards for the new year. Please help our volunteers out! If you use paper, someone has to enter it into the system by hand!
NOTICE: DUES HAVE INCREASED THIS YEAR (2026). For the first time in 20 years, the dues have been increased. Cumulative inflation over 20 years has been 65.6%. LGC is only increasing dues 25%.

New Members - $100 for the first year and will earn a $50 active service credit upon completing approved and verified 4 hours of service. The credit will be applied to the following year renewal dues payment and will not be provided as a refund in any way toward year one (year one is $100). New members must add a $15 processing fee (waived if application and payment done online) and are required to be at the Active Service Membership level for their 1st year. You may opt for C.C. the second year.
New members may apply one of three ways:
1.) Apply online and then make the required dues payment via Paypal (below) or mail a check/money order to the club address. Applying and paying online avoids the $15 processing fee.
2.) Send in a fully filled-out application (download below) via USPS along with a check/money order to the club address. This will incur the $15 processing fee.
3.) Send in a fully filled-out application (download below) via USPS and pay online using PayPal. Include $15 fee.
Correct payment amount must be received and cleared for the application to be processed completely. All new members must have a working contact phone number and an email address they check regularly.
INDUCTION PROCESS:
1.) New membership applicants submit application along with correct payment and wait for approval. You cannot shoot until you have fully completed the process.
2.) Complete the New Member Orientation, normally held each month before the regular membership meeting.
3.) Attend the regular membership meeting to introduce yourself and be voted in by the attending membership. You will receive yor membership card at this time.
Please, carefully read the application for detailed information.
Late Renewals - After December 1st, renewals must be accompanied by a $15.00 late fee.
Payment Of Dues - Lima Gun Club would like members to use Paypal or Venmo to pay for their memberships. This will be easier for you and easier for the Club to maintain. Please use the links below to pay dues. You DO NOT have to have a Paypal account to use this but you will need an acceptable credit card. If you wish to use your regular bank account, this is also doable but you need to sign up for, or already have a Paypal or Venmo account to link it.
PLEASE NOTE THESE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.
1.) Fill out your new or renewal application, add up the total you need to pay ($x.xx Membership type + $10 Spouse if adding + $5 each eligible child if adding plus $15 late fee if due) and put that dollar amount in the box below.
2.) Enter your full name so we can match you to your payment.
3.) Click on the button of the method you wish to pay. Use "checkout" if using a credit card because you don't have a Paypal or Venmo account.
