Each shooter is required to observe and comply with all range safety rules. If in doubt ask the range officer.

As a firearms owner/use you are responsible for your actions.

1.    Always keep your gun pointed in a safe direction.

2.    Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

3.    Keep your shotgun unloaded with the action open until you are on a firing position and the trap house is clear.

4.    Keep your gun pointed downrange at all times.

5.    Never move from a station with a loaded gun.

6.    Wear eye and ear protection while on the trap field.

7.    No shot size larger than #7 ½ is allowed. No magnum loads are allowed.

8.    Load only one shell for singles. Load only two shells for doubles or continental.
