General Range Rules:
We just want to ask each of you to help keep the place neat tidy and safe.
The first thing to remember is that a range isn't full just because one
individual is shooting there. Share the ranges and share some friendly help too.
Helping to spot a target or coach someone might just make them a better shot,
and you too.
|
|
Keep the ranges clean--Just because you see junk
there doesn't mean you have to leave it that way too. The different match
directors spend a considerable amount of time with their staff picking up
trash on the ranges before they can set up for a match. Remember that the
club rule is no frangible targets; this means glass, clay pigeons, pottery,
etc. If you must shoot at milk jugs, pop cans, etc. then please have the
courtesy to pick them ALL up after your done. Even those nasty little pieces
you break off. |
|
On the low bunkers on the 500 meter and the North
end of the South range, you may only fire .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.
No
big bore anything, especially pistols. Don't place any target stands in any
manner which will have the bullets which pass through them strike any of the
target stands, rails, or standing silhouette targets. |
|
Do not fire at any of the standing silhouettes on
the south range with a big bore/center fire rifle. This damages the targets,
and they are very expensive to repair or replace. |
|
Do not use armor piercing nor incendiary (tracers)
types of ammunition on any range. This is to protect the back stops and
prevent fires. |
|
Never handle any firearm on the line while there is
someone down range. |
|
Keep all muzzles below the top of the berms. |
|
Place all targets at the base of the berm. Your
target may not be farther than one meter (3 feet) in front of the berm and
the target must be below the top half of the bunker. This is true even if
there is another bunker down range behind the one you are shooting on. |
|
Always wear adequate eye and hearing protection. |
|
Be respectful and courteous to your fellow
shooters. Let them know what you are doing. Make your firing strings no
longer than 20 minutes to allow new targets to be placed and shooter
rotation of the firing line. |
|
Remember to keep your targets below the center line
of the backstop. This is very important on short bunkers where bullets can
ricochet and there is the possibility of them leaving the range they were
fired on. Never shoot at flat horizontal surfaces for the same reason. |
|
|
Safe shooting __ We all must do it! |
| | | | | | | | |
Above all else, think and act safely. Every time,
all the time.
