SAFETY COMES FIRST

The Four Fundamental Rules of Firearm Safety

  1. ​​ALWAYS treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
  2. ALWAYS keep the muzzle (the end of the barrel) pointed in a safe direction.
  3. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger and outside of the trigger guard until ready to fire.
  4. ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings especially what is in front and behind your target.

Members and visitors to the range must wear both eye and ear protection. You will not be able to participate without these items.
