IF CEASE FIRE IS CALLED BY ANYONE AT ANYTIME ALL SHOOTING MUST CEASE, FIREARMS MUST BE PLACED ON BENCHES WITH SAFTIES ON OR CYLINDERS OPEN AND SHOOTERS MUST STEP BACK FROM THE BENCHES WITHOUT EXCEPTION

Reckless gun handling – two gun shooting, shooting from the hip, or spray and pray will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Only paper targets may be shot on the rifle range.  Targets must be affixed to a provided target frame, or range management approved frames.  Only one target may be placed on Club provided frames at a time, to prevent damage.  If your frame is damaged and cannot be reused, please throw it away in the provided dumpster.
