Safety comes from knowledge,  which can only be learned through education and training.

 

We apologize for having so many rules.  Like you, we don't really care for rules.  But your health and safety are our foremost concerns.  It is our goal that you enjoy your time with us.  Many shooters will be inexperienced.  Many will have unsafe habits, or wish to act in ways that adversely affect others or the safe operation of the range.  We need to operate the range so that it is safe, healthy, efficient, effective, and pleasant for our guests.  To assure these goals are met, we reluctantly present the following rules, and ask that you familiarize yourself with them and follow them when you visit.  We believe you will find them reasonable, and less restrictive than most ranges.  If there is any doubt or question as to what a rule refers to, or the rationale behind it, please feel free to contact us for more information.

As we are involved in the carrying and firing of firearms, it is critical to behave in a totally civil manner.  There is to be no arguing, shouting, threatening, intimidation, pushing, or fighting tolerated.  Such behavior may result in expulsion from the range, including permanently, totally at the discretion of the management.

 

RULES ARE IN ENGLISH AND MUST BE UNDERSTOOD.

 

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY SAFETY RULES MAY RESULT IN IMMEDIATE EXPULSION FROM THE PREMISES.
