You MUST Present your ID Card to the Range Officer
These rules are for everyone’s safety; you must read and obey them all!
CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL OR ILLEGAL DRUGS IS PROHIBITED!! (You cannot enter or join the firing range if any impairing substance is still in your bloodstream)
You MUST be able to LEGALLY possess and/or purchase a firearm!!
1. NEVER bring a loaded firearm onto the range, do not carry more than one handgun at a time on your belt with holster, if you have more than one handgun then the rest of the handguns must be in a safe pistol bag or other container. All weapons and ammo must be safe and reliable (All firearms will be checked at the check in station) 2. Load your firearm ONLY on the firing line and if it is safe to do so. ALWAYS keep your finger off of the trigger until it is safe and time to fire. ALWAYS keep your firearm pointed DOWN RANGE towards the targets. Do not keep a magazine, (filled or empty) in your firearm. Magazines are placed into your firearm only while you are the firing line. (any pre-filled magazines or speed loaders must be kept in a separate container without any firearm in it, otherwise all magazines and speed loaders must remain empty unless the shooter is on the firing line) 3. Ear and eye protection use is mandatory on all of the ranges, including partners or spectator(s) 4. The use of a holster is required on the reactive range. Either a holster or safe pistol container is required in the pistol booths. If you encounter a problem while using a pistol booth, then make sure your weapon is empty, safety on, slide or cylinder open, and place it on the table top pointed downrange. Step out of the pistol booth and summon the aid of a Range Officer. (In the event of a misfire, hang fire, or squib-load, do not open the action for at least 20 seconds) 5. When a cold line is called empty your weapon, take out magazines, or leave cylinder open, and place on the table top pointed down range. Then step out of the shooting booth, or away from rifle bench and do not resume firing until a hot line is called. 6. No rifles or carbines allowed on the reactive targets (steel plates and moving target) or in the Pistol Booths (Numbers 1 through 6). When shooting the steel plates or pepper popper targets, make SURE you are standing in the RED BOX while firing; the handgun will then extend out from under the shelter. You must be in the RED PAINTED BOX facing downrange anytime your weapon is out of the holster. 7. No magnum loads allowed on the steel targets, 1200 feet per second or less only. 8. Do not place any unfired live rounds in the trash cans, give them to a range officer. 9. Pick up your empty shell casings and place them in the appropriate color-coded buckets; Blue buckets- center-fire and rim-fire Brass , The cardboard barrel behind the rifle bench and the black buckets are for steel or aluminum shells. Please help me keep the steel out of the brass buckets. 10. Do not place any glass bottles, drink cans, food products, or shell casings in the trash cans (there is a cardboard barrel for the aluminum drink cans under the shelter). 11. Report ANY injury, no matter how minor the injury is, to a Range Safety Officer. 12. Never go down range unless a Safety Officer has given the order that it is safe to do so. (all firearms must be cleared of any live rounds prior to anyone being allowed to go downrange) 13. Cease firing immediately when a cease fire is called. (air horn is the emergency cease fire signal) 14. Before you come off of the firing line you must have a Range Safety Officer inspect your Firearm to insure it is unloaded. This includes changing firing points such as going from the Pistol booths to the steel reactive range and etc… 15. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling ammunition and firing your weapon. Water and soap, along with paper towels, are located under the range shelter. 16. Children must be under the direct supervision of a Parent or Legal Guardian at all times. 17. Pistol Booths: Targets must be rolled out to the line where the first yellow rope is. No firing is allowed within the area between the booth and the yellow rope. (The first rope is 7 yards from the booths, and all the way out is 25 yards). 18. Pistol Booths: Make sure you place your target in the center of the cardboard backing. Do not place targets near the hanging support rods or near the top of the cardboard backing. 19. Any head shots at the silhouette targets must be performed with the target rolled out to the second yellow rope (12 yards) or further. 20. No rifles, carbines, or shotguns are allowed in the Pistol Booths, numbers 1 through 6. 21. Never fire your handgun in the pistol booths any faster than you can bring the sights back into proper alignment with the center of the target. If you want to “rapid fire”, there is another area of the range for that. |
