IMPORTANT
NOTICE
(please read!!)
Several
safety incidents have been reported to Board members already this year and some
disciplinary actions have taken place.
Most of the reports have concerned MUZZLE CONTROL and DOWN RANGE rules
and etiquette. These are serious safety
matters. Club Range Rules clearly
define proper procedure:
NO handling of firearms when anyone is down range. Guns will be cleared (actions open), unloaded
& benched (muzzles down range) before ANYONE goes down range.
(No inspecting, adjusting, reloading, repairing, or touching firearms when
anyone is in front of the firing line).
Remember,
someone else breaking the rules does not make it OK for you to ignore the
rules. If anyone is downrange of the
firing line, YOU must cease fire and make your firearm safe as described above. Please (politely) inform those downrange of
the proper safety procedures (on the signs posted on each range) & wait
until the line is clear before resuming firing.
NEVER let your muzzle cross anything you are
not willing to destroy. BE SAFE.

Acronyms - What the heck do they
mean!!???!!?!?
Wonder what all the acronyms used out on the range and in
this newsletter mean? This area of the newsletter is dedicated to helping
explain these. If I forget some or misidentify them, please let me know.
