RANGE RULES

 

 EYE AND EAR PROTECTION REQUIRED WHEN ON OR NEAR THE FIRING LINE.  THIS APPLIES TO SPECTATORS AND SHOOTERS ALIKE.

 

EVERYONE IS A RANGE OFFICER AND MUST PROMOTE SAFETY.  IF AN UNSAFE CONDITION EXISTS, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SEE THAT IT IS CORRECTED, OR IF IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS REQUIRED, TO CAUSE A CEASE FIRE.

 

THIS IS AN OPEN ACTION RANGE.  ACTIONS MUST BE OPEN AT ALL TIMES WHEN NOT ACTUALLY SHOOTING. 

 

FIREARMS MUST NEVER BE POINTED AT ANYONE.  BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL OF MUZZLE DIRECTION.  NEVER “SWEEP” ANYONE WITH THE MUZZLE OF YOUR GUN.

 

LOADED GUNS WILL HAVE THE HAMMER DOWN ON AN EMPTY CHAMBER OR WITH SHOTGUNS, THE ACTION WILL BE OPEN.  SHOTGUNS WILL NOT BE LOADED BEFORE THAT PART OF THE STAGE REQUIRING THEM.  SHOTGUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED ON THE CLOCK.

 

LOADED REVOLVERS ARE NOT TO BE HOLSTERED UNTIL YOUR TURN TO SHOOT.

 

WHEN THE RANGE IS HOT, DO NOT GO BEYOND THE FIRING LINE UNLESS THE APPROPRIATE FLAGS OR COMMANDS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO INSURE IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

 

NO ALCOHOL ON THE RANGE UNTIL ALL GUNS HAVE BEEN PUT AWAY.
