Belonging to More Than One Club

What it means to belong to more than one club on Range Mate.

Plenty of people shoot at more than one club, and each club runs its own Range Mate. The short version: every club is completely separate. Your account, your details and your records at one club have nothing to do with another — they just happen to use the same system.

A separate account at each club

Each club has its own address — https://<your-club>.range-mate.co.uk — and you have a separate account at each one, even if it's the same you behind them.

You're welcome to use the same email address at every club, but each account is its own:

• its own password (they can be the same or different — it's up to you),

• its own profile and contact details,

• its own two-factor authentication setting,

• its own membership, bookings and shooting records.

Because the accounts are separate, you sign in to each club at its own address. Signing in at one club doesn't sign you in at another.

Nothing is shared between clubs

There's no syncing between clubs. If you update your phone number, renew your certificate, book onto an event or change your password at one club, that change stays at that club. The other clubs won't know about it.

That means if you want the same up-to-date details everywhere, you'll need to update them at each club separately. It also means a club only ever sees the information and records that belong to them — never anything from another club.

Installing more than one club's app

You can add Range Mate to your home screen for as many clubs as you like. Because each club is a different address, your device treats them as separate apps — so you'll get a separate icon for each club, sitting side by side, each opening straight to that club. Install them exactly as you would for a single club; just repeat the steps at each club's address.

Why clubs are kept separate

This separation is deliberate, and it's there to protect you. When a club uses Range Mate, the club owns and is responsible for its members' data — they decide what's held and why. Range Mate simply looks after that data on the club's behalf. Keeping each club's information strictly walled off from every other club is how we honour that, and it's an important part of keeping your personal details — and sensitive things like firearms information — private and secure.

The trade-off is the bit you've probably noticed: things you'd quite like to carry across, such as your firearms details, have to be entered at each club separately.

We know re-entering the same details at every club is a faff. Letting you share certain information — like firearms details — between your clubs, with your permission, is something we plan to add. It isn't available yet, but it's on the way.
