Thank you for your interest in becoming a Black Mountain Bowmen (BMB) club member. We value your participation and support!
Why Join?
We encourage archers who frequent our range to join as BMB club members:
- To foster awareness of the sport of archery and the various types of shooting styles. As a member, you can answer questions new users may have and help provide a safer and friendlier shooting experience for all participants.
- To teach the safety rules and guidelines for the proper use of the different target ranges.
- To generate club funds through yearly membership dues to help cover our maintenance costs.
- To become an active member and help support the maintenance of the range by participating during the monthly work parties.
Contrary to popular belief, BMB does not receive any funding from Santa Clara county. The equipment and supplies used to repair and replenish targets, maintain the landscaping around all parts of the practice range and field course, are entirely paid for by BMB, largely from dues paid by BMB club members.
- Free entry to monthly club shoot events.
- Discounted entry fees for other club events and activities.
- Discounts on purchases at Predator's Archery.
Club Dues
BMB offers two different types of memberships:
- Adult (18+) and same-household Family memberships: $80 per year
- Seniors (65+): $30 per year
Membership Cards
Once BMB receives the membership form and annual dues payment, we will send you an E-mail with a printable PDF of your membership card attached. (At the moment this needs to be done manually, so please allow 1-2 days.)If you did not receive an E-mail after paying your dues, please check your E-mail "Spam" or "Junk" folder in case it was filed there, and make sure you add blackmountainbowmen@gmail.com to your address book (this usually prevents spam rules from considering emails from BMB as "junk").

You can also fill out the form using your mobile device via this QR code:
Step 2: Pay your membership dues
After you submit the form, it should automatically display a checkout.payableplugins.com link to pay your membership dues online (similar to the one shown below). Click on the link to proceed with the online payment process.

Once your membership form is submitted and dues are paid, we will process your membership and send you a "Welcome" email that contains your membership card.
(Note: at the moment, we're still working on updating the software that does this automatically, so it may take 1-2 days for us to manually process your membership.)
