Attention all Members:
This is a reminder that some of our range rules have been amended as of February 2017. Please be sure you are aware of the latest Club rules.
The latest updates are as follows:
Rule A-3-C: Rifles may be slung around the shoulder and carried forward of the firing line. Barrels must be pointing straight up or straight down. The rifle must at all times be carried in a safe condition. In order for the Range Officer to acknowledge that you are in safe mode, please step back from the firing line with the rifle in slung position and wait for GREEN.
Rule A-3-D: Handguns may be holstered in a side holster at the hip or on the leg and be carried forward of the firing line. Chest and shoulder holsters are not allowed unless given permission by the board. The handgun must remain at all times within the holster. In order for the Range Officer to acknowledge that you are in safe mode, please step back from the firing line with your handgun holstered and wait for GREEN.
Rule B-1: All members must swipe their membership card upon first entry of any range regardless of whether the door is closed or open. This registers their entry in our computer database and thus activates insurance coverage. Please also swipe your card upon leaving each particular range thus noting in our system your exit – no hand-written signing is required.
Rule F: Media Policy

As a member, it is your responsibility to be aware and follow all of the range rules. You are also responsible for any guests that you bring to the range.
