COST: $20.00 per shooter (unlimited guns), cash only
Fee includes using steel on pistol and rifle ranges and the skeet/trap machines (bring your own clay). Feel free to bring your own lunch or order pizza. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed at all by the range. You may want to bring folding chairs.


Tannerite: The range is mandating a 20 pound limit of Tannerite per explosion.
Tannerite is encouraged and sold onsite, however expect them to be selective about what items are blown up. Metal barrels are not allowed.

You may bring other targets including paper, bowling pins, water balloons, melons, etc. just nothing with glass or fluids and you must pick up after yourself.


Ammo Not Allowed:
Armor piercing
Tracers
Incendiary


Brass Pick Up Rule: The range has agreed to suspend their no pick up rule for this event. They have asked that you notify them when you sign in and pay that you intend to pick up your own brass.


200-600 yard range qualifying:
Sorry, long range area is no longer available


Camping: Tent and RV camping is allowed on Friday night at the range for free. Bear in mind that there are no RV hookups or shower/restroom facilities like a traditional campground. The camping rules are you must be quiet after 10pm, pick up your trash, and absolutely no alcoholic beverages allowed at anytime.


Newcomer Advice:

1. If bringing tannerite, DO NOT mix it until on the range and close to the time of usage. It is illegal to transport mixed tannerite.
2. Have a plan to watch your stuff.
3. Take sunscreen/bug spray and basic first aid supplies.
4. Be safe handling firearms and if a fellow shooter calls you on something, don't get butt hurt, instead man up and change your behavior.
5. Cease fires/target change: This range does not have regularly scheduled cease fires/target change times. If going down range, stop and look first and let the others on the line know. This is mainly for the pistol area.
6. The 100 yard range will have posted RSO's all day.
7. If bringing a child/teen or new shooter as a guest then please take them under your wing and watch them and avoid accidents. The "paper target" area on the pistol range is probably a safer area for new shooters and those around them.

This thread will be updated as needed. Please check back, especially before a meet, and familiarize yourself with the current information. Other range rules apply and are posted on site.


Shoot safe - have fun!

We need an air horn to signal Tannerite explosions.

 

[Glockster69]

Agreed, simple yet effective.


Now, what are the blast signals for a small charge VS grand finale?

 

[Dawico]

The small charges aren't a big deal. Anything 5 pounds or more should have a warning. They will scare the crap out of you besides being able to find cover from the debrit.

 

[Dawico]

Bigger blast= longer horn blast or multiple blasts. Very simple. Honestly one horn blast will do it.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

You could probably just do a few short blasts of the air horn and people will get the message that something is about to go down.

 

[Glockster69]

We should run a poll on signaling

 

[Southpaw]

We should run a poll on signaling

Now that would be funny.
