SOME DON’T SHOOT REMINDERS FOR THE RANGE.

THEY ARE ALL JUST COMMON SENSE THINGS BUT THEY ALL HAVE HAPPENED RECENTLY OR IN THE PAST. 

REMEMBER!!! THIS IS YOUR RANGE . TREAT IT AS IF YOU WERE THE ONE REPLACING ALL THE EQUIPMENT OR JUST HAVING THE DISGUST OF SEEING HOW THINGS ARE DESTROYED BY A FEW UNTHINKING OR INCONSIDERATE INDIVIDUALS.  IF WE HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THINGS LIKE THIS WE WILL HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO RAISE THE RANGE DUES AND YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE UNLIMITED ACCESS TO A SHOOTING FACILITY FOR ONLY $25.00 / $35.00 A YEAR.

 

1. DON’T SHOOT AT THE PILES OF CEMENT BLOCKS.  (THEY ARE HERE FOR A PURPOSE AND IF THEY ARE DESTROYED WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FULLFILL THE PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS).

2. DON’T SHOOT AT THE METAL BASES OF THE TARGET STANDS

3. DON’T SHOOT AT OR HANG TARGETS IN FRONT OF THE POSTS SUPPORTING THE TARGET BACKERS.

4. DON’T PLACE TARGETS ON THE GROUND WHERE BULLETS COULD BOUNCE UP OVER THE BACKSTOP BERMS.

5. DON’T SHOOT RIFLES OR HANDGUNS AT THE ARCHERY TARGETS.

6. DON’T SHOOT AT THE TRASH BARRELS.

7. DON’T INTENTIONALLY SHOOT AT THE SIDE BERMS.  (THEY ARE THERE TO STOP INADVERTANT BULLETS ONLY).

8. DON’T SHOOT AT THE PLATE RACK WITH RIFLE TYPE CALIBERS.

9. DON’T SHOOT AT FRUIT, VEGETABLES OR OTHER SHATTERING TYPE TARGETS AND THEN LEAVE THEM FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO CLEAN UP.
