Any Maryland Rifle Club (MRC) member willing to sponsor me?

[Trey]

I'd like to join one of the AGC clubs and MRC looks like it's the cheapest option since they only charge 50% of the usual fees after June 30. I've got the application but there's a sponsor field that I'm not sure is required but I'd feel better if I could put a name there. I totally understand if people are not comfortable sponsoring someone they don't know. I'm a 33yr old software engineer and completely stable, I assure you

a related question, how long of you been doing software eng?

I started my career as a 20yr old college dropout in late 1996. That was the dotcom heyday when startups were throwing big money at any kid who knew a little HTML or programming.

Trey, if you would be so kind, let me know how much it cost you when you are all said and done, and how you were able to get it. The Marriatsville (sp) in Howard County is right down the right from my house, and has a rifle/shotgun and I believe out door pistol. I have always wanted to give it a shot, but it seems like a sponsor is mandatory, as well as attending meetings, plus a $350 yearly fee or something. I haven't checked in a year or two, but it wasn't worth it when I checked.

I am a member there and I don't believe you need that. You just have to attend the range safety meeting. Once you do that you are able to get your range badge. Shoot an e-mail off to Erich Grove and ask him. His address should be on the MRC page.

I didn't need a sponsor when I joined.

I started a year after you and i can vouch for you, you are not stable lol. This industry makes you crazy!

Thanks folks for the info. I'll send in the form with the sponsor field blank.

JasonMD85, just go here: http://www.mdrifleclub.org/membership/membership.html

The webpage doesn't mention it but the application form states that you only pay half the fees if you're applying after June 30, which should make the total $90. That's the amount of the check I'll be sending in anyway.
