Gate combinations change regularly (most recently January 25, 2026). Members receive updated combination codes with their membership cards and newsletter, mailed in January.
Membership card stickers are updated annually. Late payment of dues incurs a $25 fee if received after December 31st.
Beyond shooting, Crooked Creek emphasizes education and conservation. The club hosts work parties three times yearly to maintain grounds:
- •Spring – Sunday, May 3, 2026

Crooked Creek enforces strict range protocols:
- •All rounds must hit berms – no shooting into ground
- •No Tannerite – Banned on club grounds (illegal under Ohio law after mixing)
- •Proper backstop use only – Don't damage foam backers, wood supports, or rebar
- •Clean up after yourself – Pick up brass and cardboard targets
- •Range-appropriate shooting – Use correct range for your distance
Members violating rules face confiscation of membership card and may appear before Trustees for suspension or expulsion.
