Remember These Range Safety Rules:
– Make sure that no one is in front of, or within 90 degrees either side of the shooting direction before any guns are handled.
– The loading and chambering of rounds / shells is to be done only after the gun is aimed at the berm and not before (hinged actions can be aimed forward at the ground).Upon completion of firing, open the action and verify the gun is unloaded while it is still aimed at the berm (hinged actions can be aimed forward at the ground.No firing at anything lying on the ground or at the top of berms.
– No Steel Targets. Only paper targets allowed at the club.
– All projectiles are to be fired from stations perpendicular to berms at their respective target locations only. Do not shoot across at an angle into berms, and no shooting at side bermsBefore anyone moves forward of the firing line at each station, all guns are verified unloaded and laid on benches / tables, or put in cases/range bags with the actions open and not touched.
– Handguns can also be secured in holsters.Coordinate with other shooters on the firing line and at shooting.
– No one handles a firearm when anyone is forward of the firing line at each station.When leaving, verify all guns are unloaded, clean up the area, removing everything that you brought in, including your targets and empty cases/hulls.Guests are to be supervised at all times and members are responsible for making sure that their guests obey these rules as well as all other club rules. Two guests allowed per member.
Basic Firearms Safety Rules
#1 Treat every gun as if it is loaded.
Never assume a firearm is empty, even if you just checked it or think it is safe.
#2 Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
Never let the muzzle point at anything you do not intend to shoot or destroy.
#3 Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
Rest your finger outside the trigger guard and along the frame until you have your sights on target and have decided to fire.
#4 Know your target and what is beyond it.
Be certain of what you are shooting at, and check what is behind or past your target because bullets can pass through objects.
NOTE: For any violations of the above listed Range Rules, you will be expected to show up at a monthly members meeting before you are able to use the range again.
