Eye and ear protection are required for anyone to enter the front gate. Everyone is required to have their own pair of eye and ear protection. Anyone within 30 feet of a "HOT" firing line will have their protection in place at all times. Removing glasses or hearing protection for cleaning or using a spotting scope is NOT permitted.

All firearms must be kept unloaded with actions open until the shooter is physically on the firing point, the Range Officer has called "RANGE HOT," and you are ready to fire that firearm.

Never go down range during a cease fire until the Range Officer gives the command, "THE RANGE IS COLD."

NEVER HANDLE (touch, fondle, adjust, clean, case or adjust scope / sight) anything on any firearm while the range is "COLD."

Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

Never carry a firearm down range with you.

Practice safety yourself and call attention to unsafe acts of others. Remember: anyone on the range may call a "CEASE FIRE."

Any malfunction of a firearm MUST be reported IMMEDIATELY to the Range Officer.

The adult bringing a child to the range is TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE for the child's conduct and safety. No one under 16 is permitted on the range unless under the supervision of an adult.

Each shooter must check in at the gate, read the range rules, and sign in. The Range Officer will check all firearms to ensure that they are unloaded and that everyone has eye and ear protection.

Prior to proceeding to the rifle or pistol line the Range Officer at the gate will receive permission from the Line Officer for you to proceed. The shooter will be assigned a station by the Line Officer and be briefly instructed on the current conditions and any special range rules that may be in effect.

Only paper targets on SELFS, Inc. stands, clay birds (placed midway up on the face of the berm), or those targets specifically approved by the Range Master may be used.

The shooter must clear his area of brass, targets, and other trash when finished shooting. Brass not wanted by the shooter must be placed in brass containers provided. Any brass not claimed by the shooter firing the brass automatically becomes the property of the SELFS, Inc. and will be disposed of at our discretion.

The Range Master/ Range Officer may make temporary rules in order to safely accommodate certain situations.

On the command, "CEASE FIRE," stop shooting immediately, no exceptions!

Range conditions permitting, any safe and legally owned firearm up to and including .50 BMG is welcome at the range, provided the shooter ensures all round impact the backstop.
