Range use

• Projectile/bullet containment. It is the ultimate responsibility of every shooter to ensure that the projectiles fired on their boundaries. Cross-firing at targets is not acceptable. directly in front of the shooter, is unsafe and is not permitted.
• Shooting will be permitted at standard paper targets only. Shooting at glass objects, exploding targets, pyrotechnic devices, etc. is prohibited.
• All targets should be secured on the target frames set downrange.
• Personal target holders/frames are allowed but should be removed by the shooter when finished.
• Shooting shotguns at target holders is not allowed. It destroys the target backer
(this is where you tape your targets) and ruins it for the next shooter.

• Clay targets are allowed.
• All shooters must carry out their own refuse.
• Range use is limited to daylight hours only

Shooting steel gongs
• Minimum recommended shooting distance with a handgun is 25 yards and 100 yards with a rifle. It is always better to shoot from farther away and move in closer while checking targets for impact damage, such as cratering.
• Be extremely cautious when shooting full metal jackets in calibers like 7.62x39 or higher at steel targets.
