1. Firearms Safety First:

• All firearms must be treated as loaded.
• Never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy.
• Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
• Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
  
  

2. Visitors and Guests:

• All visitors must be accompanied by a Club Member.
• Club Members are responsible for their guests and actions.
• Limit visitors to 2 guests per visit; contact a Board of Directors member for approval if you need more.
  
  

3. Security and Access:

• Range keys/gate combinations may not be shared with non-members.
• Lock the gate behind you when official matches are NOT being held.
  
  

4. Range Etiquette:

• Use only one bench and target space when others are waiting to shoot.
• Do not go downrange until all shooters on the line (including both sides of the clubhouse for the 100/200/300 range) have cleared their weapons with bolts locked open.
• Activate the red light before going downrange to hang or retrieve targets.
• The red light applies to both rifle ranges (50/100 and 100/200/300) and remains on until the range is clear.
  
  

5. Safety Gear:

• Shooters and visitors must wear eye and ear protection while on SBRC property.
  
  

6. Range Availability During Matches:

• At least one rifle range and pistol bay will be available for club member use during scheduled matches.
• When the 100/200/300 range is used for a match, the 50/100 range is reserved for non-competing club member use.
  
  

7. Target Guidelines:

• Only use approved targets; no cans, bottles, junk targets, rocks, or exploding targets.
• Ensure all targets are between backer boards and remove target paraphernalia when finished.
• Shotguns should avoid using the backers for pattern testing; provide your own cardboard for testing.
  
  

8. Metallic Targets:

• Metallic targets must be placed immediately in front of the berms, no more than six feet from the berm.
• Ensure bullets impact the berms; this is your responsibility.
• Angle the bottom of steel plates at 10 degrees or more rearward to deflect rounds.
