Range Safety and Security:

Do not flip the lights on unless you talk to the people who were their first, unless it is an emergency. It has been brought to the board’s attention, that for example: someone using the 200 yard range and people arrive to the 50 yard range and flip the lights on to go down range to place targets without communicating to the folks in person using the 200 yard range. Remember first person there is in charge of range.

The gate has been left open, if the gate will not close, call one of the board members listed below or in the SOP.

Shooting will increase this fall, please pick up after yourself, including wads from shotgun slugs. Please put shot up backers in the dumpster, there is new backers in the blue shed if needed. If there is none please contact a board member.
