PROPER EYE AND EAR PROTECTION IS REQUIRED ON THE RANGE FOR SHOOTERS AND SPECTATORS.

The only place loaded firearms are to be is inside the port.

On the range officers console ALWAYS turn on the EXHAUST FAN and depending on which end of the range you are using, turn on a switch for target lights. If you are alone on the range it is a good idea to open 3 or 4 port doors to improve ventilation. EAR & EYE PROTECTION IS MANDATORY!

THE LAST PERSON to leave the range is responsible to turn off all switches on the console.

There are targets available at either end of the benches and in the target cabinet. All targets are2/.25 and the money goes in the cash box in front of the target cabinet. Targets are clearly marked with the prescribed shooting distances allowed for that particular target. No exceptions.

Ports 2 & 3 have spot lights controlled by a timer. This allows some (NOT ALL) shooters to place a target AT LEAST 7-8 full turns of the crank down into the tunnel. We refer to this as short line shooting. There is only one target allowed to be shot at the short distance. They are in a box on the bench behind ports 2 & 3. You must be able to group your shots in the scoring ring of those targets if you wish to shoot "short". Shooters (especially guests) are not allowed to practice at this distance trying to group their shots. Become proficient at 50' before damaging the range at 21'. Bullets bouncing off walls, floor and ceiling are causing considerable damage down range.

Members are encouraged to spread their practice sessions out on different ports each time they shoot. Everyone shooting on ports 2 & 3 makes the maintenance needed, much more often.

Spent brass on the floor must be picked up by the shooter. Spent brass gets tossed or swept onto the floor in front of the firing line. It does not get thrown into the trash or into the tunnels.

Live rounds do not get ejected onto the floor and left there. Pick up your live rounds. If you must go forward of the firing line, have everyone there make their firearms safe and step back from the firing line. Put on the warning light before going forward thru port # 3. Dud rounds get picked up and put in the red collection box on the front of the range officer's console. If you collect dud rounds, bring a container, place it under the red box and remove the bottom plug. Enjoy them!

If the range is not active and you would like to assist with range maintenance, enter the front of the firing line thru the door at port #3. There is a light switch on the right. On the range officers console turn on the warning light. Use the large floor broom, sweep brass into a pile, place the aluminum sifter over the orange pail, marked "powder only. Dump some brass into the sifter, agitate it with the dust broom handle, then dump the sifted brass into one of the brass collection pails. Repeat if needed. It is important we try to separate the unburnt powder (there is a lot of it) from the spent brass. Usually, the process takes less than 10 minutes for one person.

When you finish shooting, sweep your brass off the tabletop onto the floor in front of the firing line. Also look at the port next to you to see if your brass ejected onto that tabletop.

The last person to leave the range is responsible for making sure the range is clean and secure. If you found something not right when you entered the range, note it in the logbook when you leave. BEFORE you turn out the lights and go up the stairs, STOP, and look back. Prop the door open.

No live rounds on the floor or in the barrels. Use the red, metal container on the front of the podium in the range for disposing of live rounds.

All members, guests, and students must sign the log book when entering and leaving the club. PRINT your name, time in, time out, port number and anything that you find wrong or in need of repair. If you find something that needs immediate attention, contact a club officer. Phone numbers are located on bulletin board upstairs.

Turn out the lights, close the port doors, and make sure everything is turned off when you leave. (including the bathroom lights, located on the wall outside the bathrooms)

There is a white board hung on the front wall of the club room. Pertinent information is usually posted on it. Get used to looking at it every time you visit the club.

Please exercise courteous behavior towards other shooters.
