  • A majority vote by the Officers and Board Members present at the meeting is
    required for the prospective member to be accepted for membership into the club.

    act as a sponsor.

Building and Grounds

  • Members and their families are eligible to use the club facilities.  Children, however,
    must be accompanied by a parent.
  • The clubhouse and indoor range may be used for appropriate shooting related
    activities.  Parties or other social events must be approved by the board.
  • Members must carry their membership card when using the club facilities.  If proof
    of membership cannot be made, a person may be asked to leave by a card-
    carrying member.
  • No alcoholic beverages will be consumed on the club grounds.  This is absolute!  
    No exceptions…ever!
  • No overnight camping on club grounds.
  • No open fires on club grounds.

Range Rules

      All Ranges

  • All targets must be hung inside the designated areas on the backstops.  Do not
    place targets on or in front of the backstop supports.
  • Except as follows, the only targets permitted on any rifle or pistol range are paper
    targets located in the designated areas of the target mounting boards.  No other
    target materials are permitted including but not limited to, clay birds, pop cans, and
    bowling pins.  The only exception is silhouette targets, which must be located within
    2’-0” of the front of the target boards and within the designated target areas on
    these boards.  Targets may not be at ground level or set on top of the target
    mounting boards.  Move your firing line back from the targets as appropriate.  The
    only ammunition permitted for silhouette shooting is .22 caliber rimfire or pellets.
  • No glass of any kind will be permitted on any range.
  • Clean up the range before leaving – remove targets, brass, etc.
  • If people are waiting to use a range, limit your shooting time to 1 hour.

      Indoor Range

  • Shooters must use .22 caliber rimfire ammunition or pellets only.
  • Use paper targets only – no bottles, cans, etc.
  • All shooting must be confined to the backstop.
  • Turn off heat and lights before leaving.

      Outdoor Ranges

  • No shooting after sunset.
  • No shooting on Sundays before 12:00 noon.
  • No vehicles in front of the firing point.

      Trap Range

  • The traps will be open and operated only during a scheduled shoot.
  • The trap shooting floodlights will be turned on only during a scheduled shoot or
    when a club officer is present.
  • The puller is the range officer.  As such, he is responsible for running a safe range
    and for enforcing the A.T.A. rules.

Safety Enforcement

  • Safety must be the number one concern at all times.  All published range rules must
    be strictly adhered to.  No one leaves the firing line until guns are down and bolts
    are open.  All rounds must be shot into the existing butts at all times.  Use
    ammunition appropriate to the shooting.  Respect other shooters and our
    neighbors.
  • Since the club does not have a full time range officer, each club member must be
    responsible for the enforcement of safety.
  • Any member that discovers someone violating these rules has the obligation to turn
    that person’s name, along with an explanation of what happened, over to a club
    officer or board member.
  • When a person’s name is turned in, that person is required to appear before the
    board at the next club meeting.
  • With a majority consenting vote, the board and officers have the authority to
    suspend that person’s membership.
