What do I need to bring with me?
After reading about the match you will be shooting in, bring the firearm(s) and ammunition. Bring eye protection and hearing protection for the shooter and anyone just watching. Always arrive ahead of the start time listed, and if you are able to help with range setup, that is always appreciated. When you get to the Range, check the yellow cold range lights. If the lights are flashing, do not handle a firearm. Check in with the match director, get your name on the sign in sheet and ask any questions you may have. In most matches, if you get to the Range ahead of start time you will be able to sight in your firearm (bring your own sighting target) and get in a little practice.
What are the rules during a match?
Before the match starts, the match director will go over the course of fire and the rules of the match. In some matches we request to keep chatter down to a minimum, to allow shooters to concentrate on their targets. When the match director calls the range cold, and the cold range lights are flashing, you may load magazines, but do not handle any firearm for any reason. Often times you will be asked to remain behind the yellow line. In many matches you will shoot from the red firing line, but the match director will set the firing line.

Be alert!
On occasion we have unwanted visitors on the range property. Please be aware of where you step, as to not have an encounter with a snake.
We welcome new shooters, young and seasoned, and hope you have a great time at our range.
