Range Rules & What to Wear

  • Wear comfortable clothing and closed shoes only. No open-toed shoes are allowed.
  • No phones, cameras or video may be used in the range.
  • Listen to the range officer and follow all posted rules and commands.

The Four Basic Safety Rules

  • Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
  • Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target and you have decided to shoot.
  • Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Range Etiquette

  • Never handle a firearm when others are downrange. Respect "cease fire" every time.
  • Keep your lane tidy and pick up your brass if the range asks you to.
  • Ask questions. Every shooter started as a beginner.
