PISTOL RANGE RULES

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. Do not bring your own steel targets. Steel plate targets are permanently installed in each bay.
  6. Shoot only in front of the red painted line on the walls.
  7. Shoot from the same firing line as other shooters in the same bay.
  8. Place paper targets so all bullets impact the berm. Do not place targets on top of the berm or on the ground.
  9. Steel targets must be shot at from a minimum distance of 10 yards.
  10. Safe center fire semi-automatic handguns or revolvers are acceptable. No magnums are allowed on the steel targets.
  11. Pistol caliber carbines and .22 rimfire rifles are acceptable. NO RIFLE CALIBER GUNS ARE TO BE USED.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. No fully automatic fire. No more than 10 rounds in a magazine.
  15. Tracers, incendiary gas, explosive ammunition, or exploding targets such as Tannerite are not permitted.
  16. Clean up after yourself. Take your targets down and put all trash and unwanted brass in the cans provided.
  17. Do not touch another shooter’s firearm or equipment without permission.
  18. Do not shoot anywhere on club property except for the appropriate ranges.
  19. Intentional or careless damage to club property will not be tolerated.
  20. 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 ranges and/or loss of membership.

Guest Passes can be purchased for $5 each for one time use. Contact the membership secretary, Dottie Kirk.
