Do Your Part to Keep the Range Clean

• The Range is operated and maintained by Club members. Do your part by cleaning up after yourself and taking your garbage home with you. Your momma isn't here to pick up after you.
• Improvised or reactive targets are discouraged for safety reasons. If you use them, they must be removed from the range and disposed of.
• Remove paper targets from target boards and disposed of them in the receptacles provided.
• Pick up your spent brass and shotgun hulls. Dispose of them in the containers provided, or take them home.
• The Range is periodically inspected by the Chief Firearms Officer. It is important that the Range is kept clean and tidy, with no evidence of inappropriate use. Failure to do so could result in the Range being shut down.

Range Safety

• Firearms must be unloaded except on the firing line.
• Everyone except the shooters are to be behind the firing line before shooting commences.
• Firearms must be unloaded and left with actions open at or behind the firing line whenever anyone is down range.
• If more than 2 shooters arrive at the Range, they must agree on who will act as Range Officer.
• All commands of the Range Officer are to be obeyed.
• Anyone contravening the rules will have their membership revoked.
• No rifles, handguns or shotgun slugs are to be used at the Shotgun Range. A highway and oilfield facilities are within range of these types of firearms from this location.
• Members and guests are expected to follow rules of common sense as applied to safety and proper conduct on the Range, even if a specific item is not explicitly covered in writing.
