I recently joined a rifle club in Scotland.

Now the club has maintenance days where guys go and help fix up the clubhouse and range. But I am not handy lol.

So I offered to help out with the site, as I can do that. People pay me good money for that.

I was met with resistance and understandably so. They had a guy who did it, and got a years fees for free. The next year when he was asked for fees, he left and told them it would cost £1500 to get their site.

My moan is basically his poor show..... And the fact that because of him the guys find it hard to let me help out in a way I know how to...

I'd say join the club, participate in what shooting events they have, and let them get to know you. Since you are a stranger to them, as you mentioned, it is not surprising that they are 'gunshy'...... pun intended ..........

Indeed, and this is the approach I took. I told the Secretary, offers there and it's given freely, and left it to them.
