Range Use & Rules

If you intend to shoot rifles, there are a separate set of rules that you must read and sign. You will also be issued a Rifle Card. Please bring and present your rifle card to the RSO each time you bring your rifles.

Targets for center-fire rifle cartridges must be placed no closer than the 15 yard line. This is to insure that rounds fired will strike the center of the backstop. Remember shooters of differing heights may not be able to shoot the same target without adjusting its position respectively.

There is no restriction to how fast you may shoot but all rounds fired must strike the target and backstop. Hitting the floor, overhead baffles, walls or target carriers can result in immediate removal and/or ban from the use of rifles, or the range.

All firearms are to be cased and un-cased your respective firing booths. Handling of firearms outside of the booth, unloaded or loaded is strictly prohibited. Upon entering the range, bring your cases/bags into the booth with you, unpack your firearms there placing them on the table pointing downrange. You may store your cases/bags on the mantle behind you. However, once you are finished with your firearms, remember to bring the cases/bags back into the booth order to pack them back up again.

Shooting from the hip or any other form of unsighted shooting is not permissible. Only exception is if you are training with an instructor or shooting a qualification, where the course of fire requires the shooter to shoot from the “bent-elbow” position.

On the floor of each booth there are two painted red lines. The red line to the front of the booth is the firing line. No one is permitted to cross this line at anytime. If you have something that you must retrieve beyond that line, inform the RSO. The red line to the rear of the booth is the hazard is the “gun-free” zone. The handling of firearms beyond that line is prohibited.
