The following rules and guidlines have been outlined by the club committee. These rules
are to followed at all times by ALL persons at the club facility. Any person disobeying
these rules will be ejected from the club, and may face legal action. The committee
considers safety of members as paramount and ask all members and visitors to abide
strictly to the rules. The club reserves the right to add to these rules in the interest
of safety.
Most of us have heard these rules before and most are really common sense. Take your
time to review them.

of thongs while shooting is NOT permitted.

left in gun racks MUST be under the supervision of the owner.
Immediately on shooting from any station the guns shall be opened while

Also think of this. When carrying a gun on the shoulder, keep those heavy
and sharp barrels to the front, to prevent striking someone with them.
REMEMEBER - ONE CARELESS ACTION COULD MAIM
OR KILL SOMEONE - IT COULD BE YOU.
