I belong to both clubs. OKC has more ranges and better facilities. TriCity has a more relaxed and helpful atmosphere than OKC does.
Shooters at TriCity seem to be more polite in closing ranges so other shooters can put up targets. OKC has members who come and spread their gear across three or four tables and use that many target frames. It takes an act of Congress to get them to shut down so a newcomer can set up targets.
The first person on the range is the range master but no one ever seems to step up to the responsibility.
I've seen Whitey, the bench rest range "honcho" at OKC, throw a fit and shut the range down running off several shooters. It wasn't a scheduled shutdown.
Other than that, OKC has really nice facilitites.
And so does TriCity, though not as many nor as large.
If you have the money, join both. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. You get tired of one, go to the other.
