3. Rimfire-only area. Rimfire-only means .17 or .22 caliber, non-centerfire, lower-velocity cartridges. Cartridges that damage reactive targets are prohibited in the rimfire-only range.
4. Family membership and supervision. Your family membership allows you, your spouse, and children under 18 (under your supervision) to use association facilities, including the range. Children must be under a member’s control and supervision. Children over 18 must have their own membership. Members must have their membership card with them and show it upon request. Your member code may not be loaned to anyone. Member card only is not proof of membership.
5. Firing line use only. The immoveable tables constitute the firing line. Shooting is allowed while on the firing line only. A firearm is “unloaded” when there are no cartridges in the chamber and magazine. Firearms must be unloaded and must not be fired while you are forward of, behind, or away from the firing lines.
6. Approved targets only. You may shoot at paper targets on the provided backstops and gongs or reactive targets provided by the association.
7. Do not shoot prohibited items. Do not shoot at rocks, trees, shrubs, bottles, cans, or clay birds. No exploding targets. No hunting. No camping.

10. Cease-fire and downrange procedures. Anyone changing targets must notify all shooters and get agreement to a cease fire before going forward of the firing line. All firearms must be unloaded, actions open, and no handling of firearms while anyone is downrange. Everyone must remain behind the red line. Orange/Red lights and/or flags must be on in and displayed. Do not walk behind target frames or the dirt backstop. Turn off lights or stow flags after everyone returns to the firing line, then shooting may resume.
11. Paper targets on fiber board only. Attach paper targets to the fiber board and place them well clear of support frames and posts to prevent damage. Don’t shoot directly at supports.
