Ridge Rifle Association, Inc. is a private sport shooting club.  Our range is in Botetourt County, Virginia.  Here are a few quick facts about RRA.

1.  Our membership number is limited and we currently do not have any immediately open membership positions.

2.  We do keep a waiting list of prospective members but we can only add a new member at the point where an existing member leaves the club.

3.  Applicants are required to have a member stand as their sponsor.  New members serve a two year probationary period after which time they are subject to being confirmed as a full member by a vote of the regular members.

4.  At the time one becomes an Associate Member they are required to also be a member of the NRA and maintain NRA membership as long as they wish to stay a member of RRA

The best avenue to admission is by way of a current member that you may know and who will serve as your sponsor.  You may also attend one of our regular monthly meetings for additional information on membership.  Meetings are held at Bellacino's in Daleville and begin promptly at 7 PM on the first Thursday of each month (except December).  We normally have a social hour prior to the meeting at which time you can introduce yourself to any of our officers and request further information on membership.  During 2020 and 2021 meeting locations changed and in some cases no meetings were held as a result of COVID.  2023/2024 meetings are currently expected to resume as noted above but that is always subjected to change.

Our facility and organization is supported ONLY through the efforts and labor of our members.  The privilege of membership carries with it the obligation to participate in club activities and in range and property maintenance.  It is only through the voluntary efforts of the membership that we can keep our annual dues affordable.

A commonly asked question is, "How long will I need to wait to become a member"?

That is hard to answer.  We have had waiting lists as long as 33 people and nearly 3 years of waiting time.  We have also had a very short list with a wait time of just a few months.  It would be reasonable to expect that the normal wait time is about 1 year.
