Club Directory Listing

List your club in the public Range Mate directory so new shooters can find you

Range Mate runs a public directory of shooting clubs. Listing your club helps shooters in your area find you and see what you offer — disciplines, location, how to get in touch and whether you're taking new members.

A directory listing is free and separate from the rest of the platform: a club can have a listing without using Range Mate to run its memberships, and a full platform club gets a listing too.

Turning your listing on

Go to Club Settings → Directory and switch on List this club in the public directory. You then control exactly what's published.

New listings are reviewed by the Range Mate team before they go live — a quick check to keep the directory genuine. Your listing shows as pending until it's approved, after which your edits publish without needing re-approval.

What you can publish

• Town, county and region — where members can find you.

• Location precision — choose Approximate to show only your town and county, or Exact to also publish your postcode and a map pin. Approximate keeps your exact address private.

• Disciplines — the shooting disciplines you offer, from the standard list.

• Affiliations — governing bodies you're affiliated to (NRA, NSRA, etc.).

• Website, public email and a "how to join" link — how prospective members get in touch or apply.

• A short description — a paragraph in your own words.

• Home Office approval and NRA affiliation numbers — if you have them. Leaving the Home Office number blank means your listing won't claim to be Home Office approved.

Letting people know if you're taking members

Use Membership status to set the badge shown on your listing:

• Accepting new members — you're open to applications.

• Not currently accepting members — your books are closed for now.

• Waiting list open — you're taking names for when a space opens up.

Leave the membership status blank and no badge is shown — your listing simply stays neutral. Range Mate never guesses on your behalf, so it's worth setting this so prospective members know where they stand.

When changes appear

The public directory is rebuilt periodically, so an edit may take a little while to show on the live site rather than appearing instantly.
