PSGC Range Rules
All Members, Guests, Agencies and Spectators are Subject to Range Rules While on PSGC Range Property!
Failure to comply with the following may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, result in removal from the range, revocation of membership or other remedies available to the PSGC.
All Federal, State, and Local firearms laws must be complied with.
1. Lock the range entry gate upon your arrival and departure except during a scheduled match.
2. This is a “COLD RANGE”. This means all firearms are to be unloaded except in the bays while shooting.

4. Handling of ammunition is prohibited in Safety Areas.
5. Eye and ear protection is mandatory for every person at all times while on range property.
6. Shotguns and rifles must be carried cased or muzzle up/muzzle down with action open.
7. The range is closed for general use during a match and spectators are welcome.
8. The day prior to a match is used for set up. Members are permitted to use the range but are not permitted to utilize any targets or props placed in the bays intended for match use.
9. When police agencies are present, locate their Range Master, present your PSGC ID and ask where you may shoot.

15. Help keep the range clean. Pick up your brass and shotgun hulls before you leave. Put your trash in the trash barrels.
16. Replace any tables or benches that you have moved to their original location up range under the shade structures.
17. The use of non-standard targets is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, any exploding targets, tannerite, bottles, cans, rocks, glass, appliances, tvs etc. Do not leave anything on the range that you brought onto the property.

19. On the rifle range, set your target height so that the bullet impact is 200 yards or more. On the pistol bays, set your targets accordingly so that no projectile or shot will leave the range. Do not shoot over any berms.
20. When multiple users are on the rifle range, coordinate line breaks among yourselves. Request a Cease Fire, at which time all shooters will leave firearms unloaded with actions open and step away from the benches. Once all shooters are away from the benches, call Range is Clear. Do not approach the benches or handle any firearms during this period. At this time shooters may proceed down range. Once finished downrange and it is confirmed everyone has returned from down range, call Range is Hot. Shooters may then proceed back to their shooting bench and resume shooting.

Subsequently, you may contact a Board Member and request a Board Review of the event if you are in disagreement of the range official’s decision.
