General
What is 1791 Club?
1791 Club is a cloud-based administration platform built specifically for gun clubs and shooting ranges. It unifies membership management, range scheduling, billing, compliance recordkeeping, events, communications, and reporting in a single system.
Who is 1791 Club for?
It's designed for club administrators, range officers, instructors, and their members. Whether you're a small local club or a large multi-range facility, 1791 Club scales to fit your needs.
Is 1791 Club a mobile app?
The web platform is mobile-first — every feature works on a phone browser. The platform also provides a full REST API, so native iOS and Android companion apps can be built on the same backend.
Features
Can members book range lanes online?
Yes. Members can view real-time lane availability and book reservations from their phone or computer. The system supports recurring bookings, waitlists, and iCal integration.
How does billing work?
Billing is powered by Stripe. Members can pay for memberships, renew subscriptions, and manage payment methods through a self-service billing portal. Clubs get automated dunning, invoicing, and subscription management.
What compliance features are included?
Digital waivers (versioned, with e-signature), incident reporting with corrective actions, certification and background-check completion tracking, visitor logs, guest/day pass management, and full audit trails. All compliance features are administrative recordkeeping tools — the platform does not provide operational guidance.
What can be sold through the retail/POS system?
The retail system is designed for non-firearm items: targets, ear/eye protection, apparel, accessories, consumables, and general storage/locker rentals. It includes an online storefront, cart, checkout, and order management.
Security & data
Is our data isolated from other clubs?
Yes. 1791 Club is a multitenant platform with strict tenant isolation. Every query is scoped to your club's data. Users from one club cannot access data from another. Role-based access control ensures staff and members only see what they're authorized to.
Does 1791 Club store payment card numbers?
No. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We store only display-safe metadata (card brand, last four digits, expiration) — never full card numbers.
Is there multi-factor authentication?
Yes. TOTP-based MFA with recovery codes is supported for all users. Admin roles (super-admin and club-admin) can be required to use MFA.
Getting started
How do I set up my club?
Sign up for an account, and the onboarding checklist will walk you through configuring your club — adding your membership tiers, setting up ranges, and inviting your team.
Can I import existing member data?
The platform supports data import through CSV and the REST API. Contact us for assistance with bulk migration from your existing system.
