In addition to the Basic Range Rules, please remember these basic firearm use/safety principals:
- SHOOTERS WILL SECURE FIREARMS IN A HARD HOLSTER ON THEIR BODY WHEN ON THE RANGE
- ALL GUNS ARE TREATED AS BEING LOADED AND ARE READY TO FIRE AT ALL TIMES
- KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHT IS ON THE TARGET
- NEVER POINT THE GUN AT ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY
When sighting in a rifle you will need to start at the 25-yard line to make sure you are on paper. If you are not on paper at this range or close to the Bullseye, you will not be at 100 yards, and risk hitting the support cables. Please make sight adjustments as necessary before moving back to the 100-yard sight-in bench. Also, all shooters (pistol and rifle) should keep their targets centered on the plywood. By taking these steps you will help minimize damage to the support cable system.
Please call Law Enforcement/Security at 361-782-8013 if you have any questions.
