The Importance of Range Rules
At Lance Keller, we understand the significance of range rules when it comes to providing a safe and organized environment for our valued customers. As a renowned destination for sports enthusiasts in the field of hunting and shooting, it is our responsibility to ensure that every individual experiences a secure and enjoyable time at our range.
Guidelines for a Safe Shooting Experience
1. Safety First
Our range rules prioritize safety above all else. We have implemented strict protocols to prevent accidents and maintain a controlled environment. It is crucial for all visitors to comply with the following safety measures:
- Always Handle Firearms with Care: All individuals must exercise extreme caution when handling firearms. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times and keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
- Observe Trigger Discipline: Maintain proper trigger discipline by keeping your finger outside the trigger guard until you are prepared to fire.
- Use Ear and Eye Protection: To protect your hearing and eyesight from noise and debris, it is mandatory to wear appropriate ear and eye protection.
- Follow Range Officer Instructions: Our highly trained range officers will provide instructions and guidelines to maintain safety protocols. Always listen and follow their directives.
- No Alcohol or Drugs: The consumption of alcohol or drugs before or during shooting activities is strictly prohibited.
2. Firearm Handling Rules
Proper firearm handling is paramount to a safe range experience. We have established specific rules to ensure responsible firearm usage:
- Treat Every Firearm as Loaded: Maintain the mindset that every firearm is loaded, even if you believe it to be unloaded.
- Keep Firearms Unloaded Until Ready to Shoot: Only load the firearm when you are on the firing line, facing the target, and ready to shoot.
- No Handling Behind the Firing Line: Handle firearms only on the firing line. Keep your firearm pointed downrange and refrain from any handling or adjustments behind the line.
- Do Not Cross the Firing Line: Under no circumstances should you cross the firing line while others are shooting. Wait for the range to be clear before retrieving your targets.
3. Range Etiquette
To ensure a harmonious and pleasant shooting experience for everyone, we expect all visitors to adhere to proper range etiquette:
- Clean Up After Yourself: Dispose of used targets, ammunition casings, and any other waste properly. Leave the range clean for the next shooter.
- Respect Others' Safety: Be aware of your surroundings and respect the safety of fellow shooters. Refrain from any behavior that could compromise the well-being of others.
- Be Courteous: Treat everyone at the range with respect and kindness. Avoid using offensive language and follow common courtesy.
- Do Not Shoot Unauthorized Targets: Only shoot at authorized targets provided by the range. Shooting at unauthorized targets can damage equipment and lead to accidents.
