Rifle Range Rules (100 and 50 yard ranges)
- It is prohibited to fire in any direction but down range. No cross-range shooting allowed. Stay in your lane.
- Members and guests MUST ensure bullets impact back berms. Any willful shot not impacting the berm is considered a negligent shot and subject to review per rule #10 (in General Range Rules).
- Targets shall only be placed in the fixed target racks at the base of the berms; at 100 yards on the 100 yard range, and at 50 yards on the 50 yard range. Note: there are two 'sight-in' lanes on the 100 yard range and two 'sight-in' lanes on the 50 yard range that have fixed target racks at shorter distances. These are the only four firing positions that allow for shorter target distances. These are the left two lanes on the 100 yard range and the two right lanes on the 50 yard range.
- Portable bases are NOT ALLOWED on the 100 or 50 yard ranges.
- Do not shoot the number boards (lane markers) on the target racks. Any willful damage to the target racks will be subject to review per rule #10 (in General Range Rules).
- All target frames must be of sufficient width to support standard targets. Target frames must be of sufficient height to have the bottom of the target at least 48 inches above the ground. Target frames must be placed in the fixed target racks only. Do not lean target frames against the racks or berms.
- Targets must not be hung on any part of the target racks (wooden structures that hold target frames) or on the number boards (land markers).
- Patterning of shotguns allowed ONLY on the 50 yard range using target frames that hold targets to the bottom of the target is at least 48 inches above the ground.
- Use of steel targets permitted, with the following limitations:
- Absolutely no steel-core or penetrator ammo allowed on steel targets
- Steel targets must be either commercially made for the purpose of being a target; or must be a copy of such a target. Miscellaneous pieces of scrap steel or other non-traditional targets not allowed. Only un-damaged steel targets may be used.
- Steel targets that are damaged or deformed by holes, pitting, cracking, cupping, excessive wear, etc. must not be used.
- No ground based targets allowed on the rifle range, they must be at least 4' off the ground and must not be mounted directly on top of the target racks.
- Organized club sanctioned events may allow other target heights and positions with specific written permission from the Club Safety Officer and/or Board of Directors to ensure bullets are contained within the ranges and do not damage target racks.
