RANGE COURTESIES

  • Respect "cease fire" calls. Immediately stop shooting, unload, open actions, and step away from firearms during a cease-fire period.

  • Dispose of your trash correctly and clean up your shooting area before leaving. Leave the range better than you found it.

  • Reset the bays after use.

  • Be patient, especially during peak hours. Respect other shooters' time and space.

  • If you see someone unfamiliar with range procedures, offer to help and guide them, if appropriate.

  • If you have concerns about safety or behavior, report it to the range staff or officers calmly and respectfully.

  • If you notice or cause something to be broken, inform the range staff so that the feature can be fixed or removed for the safety and benefit of other participants.

  • Minimize ‘picnicking’ in the shooting bays. If you are not actively training in the bays, please make the bay available for others to train.

  • The rifle range is a shared bay unless it is reserved for larger groups, training classes, competitions, or other scheduled events.

Adhering to these courtesies fosters a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone using the shooting range.
