New Rules – Please Read
The Club has passed new rules regarding the wearing of eye protection and the use of pistols or other types of handguns on the 50m Range, the 100m Range, and the 300m Range.
The rules regarding mandatory eye protection have been finalized and will be enforced as of January 1, 2025. The Rules now state:
1.8 Wear Eye and Ear Protection as Appropriate.
1.8.1 Minors (persons under the age of 18) on any firearm or airgun range must wear eye and ear protection at all times.
1.8.2 All persons on any firearm range must wear eye and ear protection at all times, and all persons must wear eye protection on the Air Gun Range at all times.
1.8.3 Additional rules regarding the use of eye protection are contained in other sections of these rules regarding specific ranges, events, and activities.
This means that whenever anyone is present on any firearms range on the property (25m Plinking, 50m, 100m, 300m, Pistol Only, Shotgun, LAR), it is mandatory that eye protection be worn – No Exceptions.
Regarding the use of pistols or other types of handguns on the 50m Range, the 100m Range, and the 300m Range:

No Guests will be allowed to shoot pistols or other types of handguns on the 50m Range. Club Members who have not passed the NEW Qualification are considered “guests” for the purpose of this rule and are NOT allowed to shoot pistols or other types of handguns on the 50m Range. The NEW Qualification requires a member to hit 8 ot 10 shots on an 18″x24″ target placed at the foot of the impact berm on the 50m Range, and also hit 10 of 10 shots on an 8.5″x11″ target placed at 25 yards.
