Gun Range Safety Rules

  • Every gun is loaded: Treat every gun as if it is loaded and dangerous.
  • Only point at it if you want it destroyed: Always keep the gun pointed downrange and never point a gun at anything you are not planning to shoot.
  • Mind the trigger: Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to fire.
  • Be safe: Keep the safety in the on position and the action door open until you are ready to fire.
  • If it’s loaded, leave it on the line: Check to make sure your firearm is unloaded, the action door is open and the safety is on before bringing it off the shooting line.
  • Protect yourself: Wear protective eyewear and ear protection at all times, even when not shooting.
  • Check your weapon: Always make sure your weapon is functioning correctly, properly cleaned, and safe to use.
  • Know your target and beyond: Always know what you are shooting at and be mindful of what is around and behind your target.
  • Alcohol and gunpowder don’t mix: It is absolutely prohibited to bring alcohol into the shooting range.

Failure to abide by the above rules may result in removal from the facility and denial of future shooting privileges
