Rifle Range Rules

All ranges are for club members only.

  1. Eye and ear protection must be worn when shooting or observing on any of the ranges.
  2. Always keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction, finger off the trigger and unloaded until you are ready to shoot.
  3. Be sure your firearm is safe to operate and know how to operate it safely.
  4. Be sure you use the correct ammunition in your firearm.
  5. Shoot in your lane at your target only. No cross-range shooting.
  6. Shoot only from the bench area on the rifle range, not from any position in front of or behind the benches.
  7. Do not use more than one bench or target backer at a time when others are waiting to use the range.
  8. Use the sign system when on any of the ranges. The HOT sign must be displayed anytime a firearm is being used or handled on the firing line. The COLD sign must be displayed anytime someone is down range or the range is not in use. Do not handle firearms while the COLD sign is displayed.
  9. If you have a firearm problem at the firing line, place it on the bench pointed in a safe direction, and clear the jam or malfunction. Do not allow anyone to go down range while clearing a jam.
  10. Attach targets to netting and not to the posts and cross beams. Alternative targets such as clay birds, balloons, etc. are allowed as long as posts and cross beams aren’t damaged, and the debris is cleaned up. No glass or junk allowed.
  11. No fully automatic fire. No more than 10 rounds in a magazine.
  12. .50 BMG is not permitted.
  13. Tracer, incendiary, gas, or explosive ammunition is not permitted.
  14. Binary or exploding targets such as Tannerite are not permitted.
  15. Clean up after yourself. Take your targets down and put all trash in the cans provided.
  16. Do not touch another shooter’s firearm or equipment without permission.
  17. Do not shoot anywhere on club property except for the appropriate ranges.
  18. Intentional or careless damage to club property will not be tolerated.
  19. Obey all range officers (club officers and range committee members). In the absence of a range officer, use common sense and communicate with other shooters.

Violation of any of the range rules may lead to removal from the range and/or loss of membership.

Guest passes can be purchased for $5 each for one time use either at the clubhouse or online.
