SHOOTING RANGE RULES

Always wear gloves, eye protection and ear protection when using or spectating the gun range. Protection is available to be used and can be found within the club area. Please make sure you return all equipment before leaving. Always wear personal safety protection.

Look both ways, left and right, down range before shooting every single time. If you look both ways every time before shooting you will never be involved in any kind of safety incident that puts anyone in danger or does harm to anyone. It is straightforward. Look both ways every time before shooting to make sure the down range is clear of other shooters. You can then rest assured that you are not going to do harm to anyone. Always look both ways before shooting, every single time. 

Keep all guns pointed down the range at all times! if carrying a gun from a vehicle to the firing line the barrel should be pointed at the ground. At no time should the barrel of your gun ever point at any other person, whether your gun is loaded or unloaded, whether accident or on purpose. You point it straight down at the ground or down range. If all of your guns are laid out they should all be pointed in the exact same direction, down range. If you point your guns sideways or back towards you then you are asking for a disaster. Point all guns straight ahead down range at all times. 

Keep all guns unloaded at all times until ready to shoot! Do not load the gun until the moment before shooting. After shooting make sure the gun is unloaded before setting it back down. Never leave a loaded gun laying around where you or others can pick it up loaded. Always assume every single gun you encounter is loaded and ready to shoot and unsafe. The only way you know a gun is safe to handle is if you can visibly tell it is inoperable, unloaded, and if possible with the breach open bolt out, slide opened, and magazine removed. A loaded gun is a dangerous gun and if you don’t want your guns to be dangerous all the time you need to keep them unloaded until ready to shoot. Keep all guns unloaded until the moment before shooting. 

Never ever touch the trigger until you are ready to shoot at your target. You should never pick up a gun by the trigger. You should never touch the trigger while handling a gun. You should never even touch the trigger until you have your target in your sights and you are comfortable with pulling the trigger. It is completely unacceptable to ever touch the trigger at any other time than when you are prepared to shoot the gun. Never ever touch the trigger until you are ready to fire the gun.
