Range Rules
Hours of Operation: Monday - Saturday, 9:00AM – 8:30PM. Sunday, 1:00PM - 6:00PM. Regularly scheduled events (i.e. club leagues) take precedence.
General Rules: In addition to these range-specific rules, all General Range Rules apply.
Actions: While on the firing line, actions must remain open until it is your turn to shoot. The shotgun must be unloaded and the action open when changing stations. At all other times, all actions must remain open, with the exception of break-action shotguns placed in the rack.
Ammunition Restriction: “Target Load” shotgun ammunition is the ONLY ammunition permitted on the trap fields. These are shotgun shells which contain a shot size of 7 ½ to 9. Maximum shot load is 1 1/8 oz. and maximum velocity shall not exceed 1350 feet per second.
Target Restriction: All shooting on the trap fields must be at only industry standard (environmentally responsible) clay targets which must be thrown by the club’s trap machine or approved portable target throwers. The direction of all moving targets and shooting must be down range away from the trap houses. If you are using a portable thrower, both the shooter and the thrower must be on the 16 yard position of trap field #1.
Shotgun Patterning: Patterning shotguns, sighting in with shotgun slugs or firing heavy hunting type loads MUST be performed on the outdoor Rifle Range in accordance with Rifle Range Rules.
Cleanliness: Pick up your empty hulls. Shooters are permitted to retrieve their empty shells only after the round is completed.
Drugs and Alcohol: DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ARE NOT ALLOWED ON ANY CLUB RANGE. No person under the influence of alcohol or drugs shall be on any range.
