Shooting Sports Membership

Become a Member at the SSEC

Members at The Shooting Sports Education Center at Georgia Southern University enjoy more access, more amenities and more fun at both the Archery Center and the Firearms Range. Get lane passes, equipment rentals, equipment storage and more. Take a few easy steps to become a member and expand your Shooting Sports experience at the SSEC!

Start Your Membership

If you would like to become a member at the Shooting Sports Education Center, here are a few initial steps you have to complete with us at the SSEC:

  • Present a valid permit, badge or ID.
  • Review and sign important agreements to use our facilities.
  • Complete our membership application and pay a one-time $20 activation fee.

Get Your Membership

At the beginning of your membership process at the SSEC, you can choose to get your Archery Membership, your Firearms Membership or both! If you choose only an Archery Membership or only a Firearms Membership, you can get the other membership at any time afterward. Don’t worry: you won’t have to pay the one-time activation fee again.

To get an Archery Membership or a Firearms Membership, you must complete the following steps with us for each membership at the SSEC.

  • Watch our short safety video to become familiar with our facility and our rules.
  • Take and pass a written exam about safety procedures with at least an 80% score.
  • Complete a quick practical exam under the supervision of a Shooting Sports staff member.

If you are unable to complete the written and/or practical exam, you will have to complete our 101 training class to obtain your Archery Membership or Firearms Membership. We can help you improve the basics!

Keep Your Membership

A membership at the Shooting Sports Education Center never has to be renewed! A membership will only expire if you don’t stop by the SSEC for three consecutive years. You may contact the Shooting Sports staff to terminate your membership if desired. Policy violations at the SSEC may result in the termination of membership status.
