I asked the same thing before I joined. If you like the forum, you'll be helping pay for it (you'll notice there are no ads here.) You'll be able to become a licensed instructor through the club if you're interested in that kind of thing. We are a CMP affiliate, so you'll be able to buy a milsurp Garand, 1911, or whatever other weapons are made available through that program, as well as having access to insurance through the CMP if you do decide to become an instructor.
Oh alright, some fair points. I do really like the thing about the CMP affiliation, brings an opportunity to own a piece of history and I really like older firearms. definitely would like to have a few pieces.
I think i'm sold on signing up soon.
If anyone is interested in meeting up for a day at the range, I usually shoot at the public land spot off of Table Mesa rd. north of phoenix during weekends. It is usually quieter and I can do my target practice drills more effectively than at places like Ben Avery, at least until I join local club that hosts practice matches regularly.
