PISTOL RANGES RULES

Range Description

The Pistol Range Building extends along a succession of ranges defined by containment berms perpendicular to the firing line. An office/storage area divides the firing line into two activity zones, which may operate simultaneously and independently. The west firing line is a 25-yard range with separate cease fire alarm system. The east firing line has firing points for 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards; also with a separate cease fire alarm system. A waist-height platform, or bench, facing the targets, extends over the length of the Pistol Range Building: this defines the Firing line. Loading of firearms shall only occur at the Firing Line and muzzles of all firearms must extend over the Firing Line when shooting.

INFORMAL/PRACTICE FIRING

A CEASE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM and flashing red light governs activities at all firing points and is to be employed whether only one shooter or multiple shooters are present. Whenever activated:

• All firearms must be unloaded
• Detachable magazines or clips removed
• Muzzles pointed downrange and an Empty Chamber Indicator (ECI) inserted in the chamber.
• Persons remaining on the Firing Line must step behind the yellow line and NO PERSON SHALL HANDLE, CLEAN, OR MANIPULATE ANY UNCASED FIREARM
