I handle claims for a living (20 years now). I'll weigh in.
I've not handled any claims for a shooting range, but I've handled them involving community pools - you know, the kind in the neighborhood that you have to join to use. Usually, they are owned collectively by the membership.
I handled a drowning claim at such a facility. Defendants to the lawsuit were as follows:
1) The association that managed to pool
2) The members of the board, individually, for the above association
3) The company contracted to maintain the pool
None of the lifeguards, and none of the members were sued individually.
I suspect the same would hold true for a gun club. The Club itself as an entity, the individual members of the board, and the person who committed the tort would be named in the lawsuit. I seriously doubt members or range officers, individually, would be named, unless they had a direct involvement in the tort.
