Our Policy on concealed carry weapons classes:
We do not conduct public CCW classes. If any of
our members (of two years or more) would like to use our range(s) for shooting
qualification, it must be approved by the board of directors, and the required
paper work completed. A breach of these rules will result in immediate
expulsion.
Indoor Range Safety And Concerns:
Indoor Shooters: The club has recently experienced an increased amount of ceiling
tile and florescent light damage due to errant rounds. Please remember to keep
the muzzle pointed at or below the target when acquiring your sight picture.
Bring the muzzle up from
low ready to the target, and not from above the target. After
firing, please remove your finger from trigger to eliminate the chance of
accidental discharge (this is an NRA safety rule). The ceiling tiles and light
lenses are expensive to replace, but safety is our top priority. Thank you for
your cooperation.
