Firearms and Range Safety Rules
Firearm Safety
You will see firearm safety reminders posted throughout our facility, not just in the range area. All staff, members and users of this range must follow these rules at all times. They are clear and simple and if they are never violated, a firearm can never without human intervention accidentally harm anybody.
- ALWAYS TREAT A FIREARM AS THOUGH IT WERE LOADED
- NEVER COVER ANYTHING WITH THE MUZZLE THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO DESTROY
- KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
- ALWAYS BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET
Range Safety
- Everyone must wear ear and eye protection while in the shooting bays (If you do not have any, ask for them at the front counter; loaners are free of charge).
- All guns will be cased or holstered while being moved outside of the bays and safe handling area.
- Guns will only be loaded on the firing line.
- Keep your muzzle pointed below the top of the range backstop.
- Nobody will move in front of the firing line for any reason, without the approval of a Range Officer.
- Only properly certified shooters are authorized to draw a loaded handgun from a holster.
- Only ammunition of the types and calibers authorized will be used. When in doubt ask the staff.
Remember that lead is a hazardous material and that while shooting you can be exposed to it.
For your own safety, do not eat or drink on the ranges, and wash your hands
before leaving the facility and/or before eating or drinking.
