Gun Range Safety issues:

We are getting complaints from members on the range concerning common safety practices.

It seems some people don't understand, you never point a gun at another shooter.

The gun is expected to be pointed in a safe direction at all times, loaded or not.

If you bring a guest they may observe only on the range. Due to new insurance regulations they

Must be a member to shoot on the range. Any variation of the guest rule must

be approved by the Range Safety Officer.

We are constantly reminding members about not setting targets midrange.

I didn't know is not an excuse.

That rule is posted on every bench, numerous posts, signs and last, but not least, on the back of your membership card.

Please follow the rules or you can be barred form the club permanently for such rule infractions.

Note: Some of are members are leaving their trash on the range, please help us keep the range clean.

IF you ever have a problem with another person on the range please put it in writing and mail

it to the club. If you can attend a meeting, then this is an excellent place to bring it to the officers attention.

We can't address a problem on hear say and second hand information, put it in writing.
