Safe Areas For Handling Firearms
Range Officers & Scorekeepers
Safety is everyone's responsibility, and everyone is a safety officer in regards addressing proper gun handling skills. Certified Range/Safety Officers and qualified Scorekeepers are volunteers of the club. They have been tasked with keeping each squad safe and in compliance with official rules that govern our sports. Respect between our Safety Officers, Scorekeepers and Participants are an essential part of our competitive shooting community. Designated Range/Safety Officers have authority over their squad, with ultimate authority falling on the Match Director for situations that require clarification on rules, policy or procedures.
Squads & Participation
Shooters will be assigned to a squad during check-in. You will stay with this squad and transition to each stage together. When you register for a match, you are able to pick a squad. If you do not pick a squad we will assign you one the night before the match.
Everyone is expected to help tape and reset targets between shooters to keep the squad on time moving through each stage. At the end of the match, it is requested that each shooter help break down a stage so equipment can be stored away quickly, allowing other groups and clients of the range to use the tactical bays in the afternoon.
- Carry Guns- You may not handle your loaded carry gun at your vehicle at any time. If you intend to use your carry gun in the match and arrive with your carry gun loaded and/or holstered, please find a designated match official to be taken to a safe area to unload, show clear and reholster. Same process applies after the match to reload/reholster your carry gun.
- You may not handle your firearms at any time during the match unless you are under the direct supervision of a Safety Officer OR in a designated Safe Area. If you don't know where the safe area is, PLEASE ASK.
