Guest
privileges and requirements
While the
range allows members to bring guests to the range, it is the member's
responsibility to follow all range policies and procedures.
Members are fully accountable for the actions of their guests,
especially
all safety procedures.
Members may
bring guests to the range (maximum three visits per individual).
Members (even if not shooting) and each guest must sign in
legibly on the sign-in sheet. Then, the $5 guest fee must be placed in the provided
envelope which must also be filled out legibly with all the
required information. A single envelope can be used for multiple
guests as long as all names are clearly listed.

WANTED: Junior
Rifle Program Volunteers
The Riverdale Junior Rifle Program is
looking for a volunteer to administer the program. Any interested
individual should contact
Ted Guis.
There have been
reported incidents where bullets have bounced back as far as the shooting
ports, striking some shooters. It has been determined that the most
likely cause of these incidents are low-speed bullets hitting the curtains
and "bouncing back" up-range. Based upon available evidence, there are
two most likely sources of such low-speed bullets: a) very low
velocity loads, and b) bullets striking the floor, sidewalls, or overhead
baffles prior to hitting the curtains.
For your own safety and the safety of
fellow shooters:
If you have
difficulty assuring that your shots strike the target area of the bullet
traps, please refrain from using the range. Additionally, the use of
low-velocity loads is prohibited.
All shooters are
reminded that the use of proper eye protection is mandatory.
