    I had asked RGC how much membership was via Facebook a while back, and was told that membership prices varied (I guess depending on who you are and who you know). Today I was in a conversation (again on Facebook) regarding the prices of membership at various ranges in NELA and stated the above. I soon received the following message from one Mitch Dufour, who apparently represents RGC:

    "FYI- Ruston Gun Club has a 500, 300, 200, and 100 yard rifle range. We also enjoy a first class pistol range as well as a nice shotgunning area. We have many fine gentlemen as members. Sorry to see that you do not qualify for membership."

    I just thought I'd let anyone considering joining Ruston Gun Club know the caliber of people there!

    I live in Ruston and I am currently looking for a shooting range. I've heard of one in Quitman. Do you know anything about it?

    Your best bet is to just head to the OPSO range in West Monroe. It is on New Natchidoches rd just past Wells rd.

    The Ouachita parish range is $100 a year, or free if you're a veteran or 65 or older. See here: http://www.opso.net/public-range/

    The Ruston gun club will have to know how much money you have and who you know before they decide what to charge you. Seriously.

    The one good thing I forgot to mention about the Ruston club is that they have a special deal for tech students. I forgot to ask if you are one.

    I was trying to keep out of this one but i cant. Rgc is run by a bunch of liars and cheats who want nothing more than somewhere go.sight in a deer rifle. I has the tech membership and it was great before the april incident. I brought my receipt and previous key to the president and basically told me that he wouldnt help me. The facilities them selves are shitty. Avoid this place like the plague or spanky after eating beans.

    Would you mind sharing the story behind this?

    I wouldn't want to be around a bunch of people like that. I'd rather drive to west Monroe or quitman. I'm going to check both o them out

    In oct of 2019, i had to fill out an application for membership for my family. Being an Army vet and enjoying shooting with my family, i wanted a close place for us near Ruston.

    In Jan after RGC had their board meeting we were told we were approved. My family and i were excited. We called back a week or so later to see when we could get acces and pay our dues

    I was told by Bill Gemini that i should not keep contacting them and that he changed HIS mind and my family and I were not a good fit for their club. How rude and insulting can RGC be? Pretty much , VERY!

    Damn. Was going to look into this place to shoot. How is the OPSO range these days? I had a bad experience there years ago... I have heard it is much better now. I would love to have a place to do some practical pistol shooting (draw from holster, rapid fire...)

    Hell, I should run by the OPSO range one day after work and check it out.

    I lived in Ruston for 5 years. They seem to practice social distancing 52 weeks out of the year.
