____________________________


The Range has rules for safety that must be observed without exception.


Range Discipline

These range safety rules and regulations are designed to make our range as safe as possible and to safely and conveniently
accommodate as many of our range members as possible at any given time. All members have authority and the responsibility to enforce these safety rules and regulations.

The Groveton Fish and Game Club, Inc. is not responsible for enforcing either State or Federal Firearms Laws. We urge any member with questions about these laws to contact an attorney or law enforcement officer for this purpose.

General Range Use

1. The range is open from 8:00 A.M. until sundown.
2. With the exception of organized tournaments or special club activities, the use of the range is restricted to members holding a range membership, and their guests.
3. These members are encouraged to wear their badge in plain view and be able to produce their membership card when asked.
4. The range on which the match is being held will be closed for that day to non-participants.
5. No drugs or alcoholic beverages are permitted on range property at any time.
6. Junior members (under age 18) must be supervised by a parent or guardian having full range privileges.
7. All of your personal litter should be removed from range property. Spent shells must be picked up and placed in the trash barrels.
8. Pets and children must be under the supervision of an adult, and are not permitted to run at will.
9. For range safety, rifle shooters are encouraged to use an Empty Chamber Indicator when away from the shooting bench and when servicing targets downrange. These are available at the range for $1.00 each for both .22 rim fire and center fire rifles. Contact a club officer about purchasing these items.

Safety Rules For All Ranges

All safety rules and regulations must be strictly adhered to at all times, without exception.

Mandatory Safety Rules for All Ranges

1. Firearms may be handled only when the firing line is ready (that is, when firing is permitted). NEVER handle a firearm during a cease-fire.
2. If you handle a firearm when anyone is in front of the firing line you WILL be asked to leave the range property immediately.
3. The muzzles of all firearms must be kept pointed downrange and toward the targets at all times or placed in the gun rack, with the breeches open.
4. Before shooters proceed forward of the firing line, the line must be made “safe”; that is, all firearms must be placed on a firing bench or placed in the gun rack, with the breeches open. The use of an Empty Chamber Indicator is recommended.
5. When transporting a firearm to and from a firing bench, it must be unloaded and should be in a gun case.
