The range is open 7 days a week from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Access is restricted and granted through your security FOB. Misuse of the facilities will result in temporary suspension or permanent revocation of membership. Each member must examine and document the range’s condition upon arrival.
The brass on the range isn’t required to be picked up after each shooting. If you’re alone and have time, you can clean it up, but it’s not required. You can clean it periodically when it’s safe for the members.
Please do not leave your targets on the hangers when you leave. Make sure all used targets are either stacked with the other used ones or put in the trash.
Please be sure all duds are put safely in the dud box. If the dud box is getting full a call to one of the officers is needed to ensure it is safely and properly emptied.
If you see the trash needs emptying or a mess needs to be picked up it would be greatly appreciated by all members if you would do this. Trash day is Tuesday, and it would be nice if members could bring the trash out if needed before then.
We are committed to our recycling program, and we kindly request that you place all paper targets in the designated blue recycling bin. Refrain from disposing of them in the trash. Additionally, there is a designated box in the corner of the club room for recycling soda cans. Please place all empty cans in this box and avoid throwing them in the trash can.
Before you head out, please remember to turn off the lights, exhaust fans, and electric heaters. Our furnace heat works on a timer, so you don’t need to turn it off with the switch. Just leave it on. If you notice any major issues with the facilities, please give one of the officers a call right away to report it. You can find their numbers on the wall near the phone. Thanks!
REMEMBER - OUR club is OUR responsibility to take care of.
In addition to the club rules, we’d like our members, guests, and the public to be familiar with the NRA Gun Safety Rules and the NRA Parent’s Guide to Gun Safety. The links below direct you to the NRA website for these important guidelines.
