Our 2019 Entry Code (found on the back of your 2019 Member ID Card) is now in effect
To sign in, just click the Member Login link above. Then sign in with our Entry Code and your email address. If we find your email address when you sign in, you will go directly to our Members Only area. We keep only one email address on file for each member, so if you have more than one, and can't sign in, either try a different one, or be sure you spelled it correctly, or register a new one per the instructions below.
How To Register
If we do not find your email address when you try to sign in, you will be directed to a form you can use to register manually. Just fill out the form to send us the information we will need to verify your membership. Please be sure to spell your email address correctly, or we won't be able to get back to you! (It would be a good idea to include your phone number in the Message, in case the email address you provide doesn't work.) After we receive and process your information successfully, we will notify you by email that you have been registered and will then be able to access the Members Only area. Manual registration may take at least one day to complete. Please be patient while we process your request! It is not an automated process, and we will respond as soon as we can. If you have any problem using the registration and login process, please contact our IT Support Team (Carl).

Our Members Only area contains the following documents and other information.
Documents that can be downloaded are:
FFL services are no longer available
FFL services formerly provided by West Branch are no longer available, as our Federal Firearms License has been deactivated by ATF due to a clerical error. In addition, Rik Dietz, who had been providing the service for us using his own FFL regrets to announce that he is no longer able to do so. Our sincere thanks to Rik for his prior efforts on our behalf. It is unlikely that our own FFL will be reinstated before this Fall, if at all. Any future changes will be posted here.
West Branch Memberships
Membership Renewals for 2019 have all been processed and new Member ID cards have been issued. No new memberships or renewals of past memberships will be accepted until further notice.
Our Junior Rifle Program
The mission of our Junior Rifle program has always been to properly train young people in firearm safety and marksmanship. We believe that a working knowledge of safe and responsible handling and competent use of firearms is essential to everyone. There is no safety in ignorance!
For more than thirty years, we have provided this program free of charge, not only to our members, but as a service to the greater community, training literally hundreds of young shooters in the fundamental principles of safe and responsible firearm handling.
It is therefore with great sadness that we announce that our Junior Rifle program will remain suspended in 2019, and until we find new premises for our range.
West Branch Facebook Page??
We do not have a Facebook page!!
There is a page out there under our name, but it was not authorized by us, and contains certain inaccurate information: The phone number and business address provided there are not ours. Please do not attempt to contact us using that address or phone number, and do not make any posts to the page.
We believe that whoever put the page up was well-intentioned, but we don't know who that was. If you created that page, we request that it be taken down.
