General Safety
Always Keep ALL Firearms Pointed in a Safe direction.
The only safe direction is downrange at the bullet trap. Not at the dividers, Not at the ceiling, Not at the floor, Not at the walls.
Always Keep Your Finger Off of The Trigger, Until Your Sights Are On Target And You Are Ready To Shoot.
Always Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Beyond It.
Do not shoot at anything besides your approved target. Only regulation paper targets may be brought in. Non-Paper targets must be supplied by Guns-N-Such. Range Staff has the right to prohibit any targets deemed to be offensive. Targets representing particular people are not allowed. You may only shoot at the target for your lane. You are responsible for hanging your target at the appropriate height for the size of target and for your height, so that the bullet will go into the bullet trap and not the floor or ceiling. Do not shoot the target carrier, or other range equipment.
Always Treat All Guns as if They are Loaded.
Whenever you handle a firearm, always open the action immediately, and visually check the chamber, receiver and magazine to be certain they do not contain any ammunition. Always keep firearms unloaded and actions open when not in use. Never assume a gun is unloaded — check for yourself! Guns should only be loaded at the firing line. Only 1 gun should be loaded per lane at a time.

Unload the firearm and place it on the bench with the action open.
If a jam or other malfunction occurs and you cannot clear the problem, safely place the firearm on the shooting bench and ask range staff for assistance. Do not leave the firing line with a loaded or jammed firearm!
