The following guidelines are established to maintain our focus on meeting the goals                                                                            of our established  mission in a safe and historically accurate way.

​

                                                                           South Fork Regulators do not have to be members of the National Rifle Association                                                                              (NRA), Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), National Congress of Old West                                                                                            Shootists (NCOWS), Old West Living History Foundation (OWLHF), Audrain County                                                                                  Historical Society, etc. Membership in these organizations is certainly encouraged as                                                                            they are local/national organizations with similar missions as ours.

​

Membership into the South Fork Regulators may be obtained by expressing interest in the organization                                          and completing an application (click HERE for application). Completed applications can be emailed to mrs43_2@hotmail.com or mailed to Shelly Berry, 4787 Highway BB, Huntsville, MO  65259

 

The application will be reviewed by the  Membership Posse. The Applicant  will be required to attend at least one Regulator event prior to any  membership determination. During this event, the applicant will be interviewed by the Membership Posse and evaluated on their participation at the event.  The Membership Posse will render a decision as to the applicant membership status after the conclusion of the event.

 

Applicants must also complete a performance/gun safety course.

​

South Fork Regulators must also agree to "Live by the Code." This simple precept has its roots in the pioneers and cowboys of the late 1800's. It has been revived recently and we want to use it to maintain our values and beliefs. The Code of the West includes:

       1. Respect yourself and others.
       2. Accept responsibility for your life.
       3. Be positive and cheerful.
       4. Be a person of your word.
       5. Go the distance.
       6. Be fair in all your dealings.
       7. Be a good friend and neighbor.

​

Voting members of the Regulators must be at least 18 years of age and must demonstrate through their daily activities that they "live by the code."

 

Membership into the South Fork Regulators costs an initiation fee of $60. This will purchase a numbered membership badge and copies of these guidelines, a Regulator listing, Regulator decal, annual events calendar, group promotional materials, etc. Annual dues are $30.

 

Membership in the South Fork Regulators and the privilege of using the organization 's assets may be terminated if that member has failed to live up to the standards and commitments of being a South Fork Regulator. The expulsion of any member will be confirmed after serious consideration and a 4/5 vote of the Membership Posse.
