I'm checking out a convenient new range nearby. It's in very good condition and has a growing list of 300 members. But unlike the other range I'm a member of, it's not part of a business. It's just a "club" with a $40 membership. Fill out your waiver, take the safety course, done.

My question is this - what kind of civil liabilities do the general members of such a club have? That is, imagine someone sends a round off the range and it hits a car or a person. Range gets sued. Is the membership in general liable for such a thing? Or is the liability there exclusively on the property owner?
