Introduction
Welcome to Lance Keller, your ultimate destination for all your sports hunting and shooting needs. As a renowned expert in gunstock fitting, Lance Keller is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable shooting experience for every firearms enthusiast. Our range rules are designed to ensure your safety and the safety of others, while also promoting responsible firearm handling and sportsmanship.
1. Safety First
At Lance Keller, safety is always our top priority. To maintain a safe shooting environment, we strictly enforce the following range rules:
1.1. Eye and Ear Protection
All individuals present on the range must wear appropriate eye and ear protection at all times. This includes safety glasses and earmuffs or earplugs. Protecting your vision and hearing is crucial to ensure a safe shooting experience.
1.2. Firearms Handling
Firearms must be handled with utmost care and attention. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, never point it at others. Treat every firearm as if it's loaded, even if you believe it to be unloaded. Never touch the trigger until you're ready to shoot and keep your finger off the trigger when not aiming at the designated target.
1.3. Range Commands
Follow the range commands given by the range safety officer (RSO) or any authorized personnel. These commands ensure synchronized shooting and enhance overall range safety. Always listen attentively and respond accordingly when instructions or commands are given.
1.4. Cease Fire Procedures
In the event of a cease fire, immediately stop shooting and keep your firearm unloaded with the action open. Only handle your firearm or approach the firing line when instructed to do so by the RSO or authorized personnel.
2. Range Etiquette
To maintain a friendly and respectful shooting environment, we expect all visitors to adhere to proper range etiquette:
2.1. Cleanliness
Keep the range clean at all times. Dispose of empty casings, targets, and any other waste in the provided receptacles. Leave the range in the same condition you found it, or even cleaner if possible.
2.2. Time Limits
Respect the time limits allocated for shooting. If others are waiting for their turn, be considerate and limit your shooting session accordingly. This ensures everyone gets a fair chance to enjoy the range.
2.3. Range Hot and Cold
Be aware of the range status, indicated by "hot" and "cold" conditions. When the range is declared "hot," shooting is allowed. When the range is declared "cold," shooting ceases, and individuals can safely go downrange to check targets. Never handle firearms during "cold" conditions.
3. Target Usage
To maximize your shooting experience without compromising safety, follow these guidelines:
3.1. Authorized Targets
Only use targets approved by Lance Keller. Targets must be appropriate for the range and not contain any offensive or prohibited content. Ensure you are using safe and responsible targets to avoid any safety hazards.
3.2. Proper Placement
Place targets in designated areas and follow recommended distances. Proper target placement ensures bullets are effectively contained within the firing range, reducing the risk of accidents or damage to surrounding areas.
3.3. Cease Fire for Target Adjustments
If adjustments are required for your target, always wait for a cease fire before going downrange. Make necessary adjustments swiftly and return promptly behind the firing line to resume shooting when permitted.

By strictly adhering to the range rules set by Lance Keller, you can enjoy a safe and fulfilling shooting experience. Always prioritize safety, follow proper firearm handling techniques, and maintain respect for others on the range.
