Welcome to ORSA
The Oak Ridge Sportsmen's Association (ORSA) is an
organization of shooters, hunters, archers, fishermen and others dedicated to outdoor sports and conservation. Membership is
open to all citizens of the United States, ages 19 or older, who have never been convicted of a felony, and whose activities and
behavior do not conflict with the best interests of the majority of the membership.
Membership
ORSA memberships is open to anyone that is a citizen of the United States and has not been convicted of a felony charge. You must be sponsored to join ORSA. This can be done two ways. One is to have a current member in good standing sponsor your application. The second is to belong to a nationally recognized shooting organization such as NRA, NSSA, NSCA, IDPA, USPSA, SASS, ICORE or one of the other numerous groups available. You would need to show proof of membership on your application if you use this method.
For organizational and security reasons, It is ORSA's Policy to not allow admittance to the facilities and ranges until a New Member Application Form has been filed and the Board has reviewed and approved that application. If an ORSA member in Good Standing wants to give you a tour that is fine, but they take on the personal responsibility for your safety, as well as setting the time and date. ORSA, the organization, is not responsible for the appointment nor any injuries nor loss while visiting the facility. There is extensive information on this web site regarding the activities, facilities, and sub clubs which should be consulted before visiting ORSA, including New Member Orientation.
