Oregon State Shooting Association - New Dues Structure

5/3/2022

The new membership fee structure is posted on the Membership Page. During our annual review of our organization, we noted increased expenses and insurance required to sustain the organization. This amounts to an additional $3,000. To help in our decision, the board looked closely at what neighboring states were doing for their membership programs. The result is a modest increase of membership fees. In addition, we have enabled a benefit for multiple year memberships.

We have more work to do as an organization to increase memberships and revenues as these rates do not fully cover the gap produced by increased expenses. Get involved with OSSA and shooting sports, share the shooting experience and our safety/wellness program. Along way bring others on board.

Effective May 3, 2022, the following rates apply. See the Membership Page

General Membership 1 Year $30.00 / 2 Years $57.00 / 3 Years $85.00
Club Membership 1 Year $70.00 / 2 Years $136.00 / 3 Years $198.00
Collegiate and Junior memberships remain unchanged at $10/year
