Range Rules - Lance Keller
Introduction
Welcome to Lance Keller's Sports - Hunting and Shooting website. We take great pride in offering a safe and inclusive shooting experience for all our visitors. Our range rules are designed to ensure the safety and enjoyment of everyone at our shooting range. Whether you are a seasoned hunter or a beginner shooter, understanding and following these rules are paramount to maintaining a safe environment.
1. Safety First
At Lance Keller, safety is our top priority. We enforce strict safety measures to keep all visitors protected while enjoying their shooting experience. Our trained staff closely monitors activities on the range and provides guidance on safety protocols. Upon arrival, all shooters are required to attend a brief safety orientation session. This ensures that everyone is aware of the basic safety rules and understands how to handle firearms responsibly.
2. Proper Attire
Wearing the appropriate attire is crucial for both safety and comfort. We advise all shooters to wear closed-toe shoes, as sandals or flip-flops are not permitted on the range. Additionally, it is recommended to wear clothing that covers exposed skin to minimize any potential injury or discomfort caused by hot shells or spent cartridges.
3. Range Etiquette
Respecting and adhering to range etiquette is essential to creating a pleasant environment for all visitors. We encourage shooters to follow these guidelines:
- Always listen carefully to instructions provided by our range staff.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Never point your firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
- Keep firearms unloaded until you are on the firing line and ready to shoot.
- Use appropriate ear and eye protection at all times.
- Wait for the range to be called "Cease Fire" before handling firearms.
4. Shooting Times and Restrictions
Our shooting range operates on specific schedules to ensure a smooth and organized shooting experience for all visitors. Shooting times may vary, so it is recommended to check our website or contact us for the most up-to-date information. We also have certain restrictions in place for specific firearms or shooting activities. Please familiarize yourself with these restrictions to avoid any inconvenience upon arrival.
5. Target Placement and Firearm Handling
Proper target placement and firearm handling are crucial for a safe and enjoyable shooting experience. When placing your targets, ensure they are securely positioned and avoid shooting at hard surfaces or objects that may cause ricochets. It is also important to handle your firearm with care, following all manufacturer's instructions for loading, unloading, and maintenance.
6. Cleanliness and Environment
At Lance Keller, we value cleanliness and environmental stewardship. Please dispose of any trash or used cartridges in the designated containers provided on the range. Firearms and ammunition should always be stored and transported responsibly. Help us maintain a clean and enjoyable environment for all visitors by keeping the range tidy.
