NOTICES & INFORMATION

***********************************************************************

UNACCEPTABLE  ACTIONS

 

It has come to the attention of the Board that some people cannot follow rules or use common sense.  NO ONE is to go down range on ANY range while other shooters are still firing on that range.  ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS.  All firearms are to be unloaded, actions opened, guns benched with muzzles down range (or placed in gun racks provided on some ranges).  Learn to talk to the other shooters on your range.  Let them know when you need to go down range.  They may have a couple more shots to fire before they are ready to allow this.  YOU WAIT until they finish and make their firearms safe.  Also, these same people went down range with handguns holstered on their hips—this too is UNACCEPTABLE, violates the rules for clearing firearms BEFORE going down range, and will not be TOLERATED.  Range rules are on the web—follow them.
