RANGE RULES
RANGE RULES IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note the change of location of THE SIGN IN BOOK. It has been moved to the rifle range, close to the middle at the entrance. This is to make it simpler and easier for you to remember to sign in PRIOR to shooting. We have noticed that a lot of you do not sign in and we are hoping that relocating this box, will make it easier to remember. Thank you for your participation in this new little regulation.
