*The New Mexico Bighorn Gun Club is an official NRA recruiter.

Please contact Karma Whelchel, 286-8449 to renew your NRA membership.
Membership Renewals
Members must attend a range orientation class once every five years. If your range safety/orientation card is more than five years old or if you are missing your card, you must attend an orientation class before you will be allowed to renew your membership. This is the start of the five year renewal plan that was voted on in October 2014; see the October minutes for plan details. If you have questions, please come to a meeting.
