I Agree c) Always keep firearms unloaded until ready to be used. I Agree d) At all times, treat ALL firearm as if they ARE LOADED. I Agree 9. Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times when on the range.

Firing a shot that results in damage to the target system, backstop, or range equipment will result in a REPAIR FINE AND/OR REMOVAL FROM RANGE. 22.

Led particles, loud noises, shockwaves or potential impact from a firearm or buttstock might endanger the safety and well-being of the unborn child. 27. All brass, once fired, is considered "lost brass".

If you intend to do bodily harm to yourself or others, you are not permitted on the range or premises at any time or any activity. 30. Animals are not permitted in the Range, no exceptions. Service Animals are welcome in the STORE section only. 31. All firearms, accessories, and ammunition intended to be used at the range or training exercise must be NJ compliant, this includes magazines, which should not exceed the capacity allowed by current laws. 32.

Please note that WESHOOT cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed to Coronavirus or any other virus, bacteria, or disease during your visit. The CDC advises that older adults and people of any age with severe underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from Coronavirus. Guests should evaluate their own risk in determining whether to attend. People who show no symptoms can spread Coronavirus or other potential viruses if they are infected; any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to Coronavirus or other possible infections or diseases. By coming to the range, store, and/or classroom, you acknowledge and agree that you assume these inherent risks associated with attendance. I Agree 20. CONCEAL CARRY / SHOOTING FROM A HOLSTER Weshoot supports and promotes the exercise of our constitutional rights. Participants, Customers, and Visitors who hold a VALID New Jersey PTC/CCW PERMIT are allowed to Concealed Carry a Firearm inside our premises. We request that the firearm remains holstered at all times, unless explicit permission to draw it from the holster is given out by the Sales Team, Management, or Range Safety Officer. Participants wishing to train and/or shoot while drawing from a holster ( IWB or IWB only) must show proof of valid New Jersey PTC Permit, and request an authorized lane for CCW with an open port. The holster must be secured to the waist or belt; when drawing from the holster, participants should do it slowly. Their trigger finger should remain outside the trigger and trigger guard until the firearm points downrange toward the target (safe direction). When holstering the firearm, the trigger finger should be out of the trigger and trigger guard, and it should be done at a slow pace. The participant should not draw or have the firearm unholstered, unless he is inside the shooting port, and facing downrange or toward a safe direction. WESHOOT reserves the right to remove any participant that violates any safety rule, or considers their firearm, ammunition, or accessories (including holsters and magazine pouches) that are considered potentially unsafe by our staff. Participants cannot exchange firearms with other participants to practice drawing from the holster. I Agree I hereby acknowledge that I am an adult over the age of 18 and that I fully understand this “RANGE WAIVER, RELEASE, INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT” and I execute it voluntarily and that by signing this “RANGE WAIVER, RELEASE, INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT” I am knowingly giving up certain legal rights. I Agree THE RANGE RULES AND THE RANGE WAIVER, RELEASE, INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT HAVE NO EXPIRATION DATE, AND THEY CAN BE USED AND APPLIED FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT VISITS FROM THE SAME PARTICIPANT(S). WESHOOT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUEST PARTICIPANT TO AGREE AND SIGN THIS FORM AGAIN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I Agree IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO SIGN, AGREE TO OR ACCEPT THIS FORM IN ITS ENTIRETY, YOU ARE DIRECTED TO REFRAIN FROM ENTERING THE SHOOTING RANGE AREA OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY ACTIVITY, CLASS, TRAINING OR EXERCISE BEING PERFORMED BY WESHOOT OR ANY OF ITS INSTRUCTORS OR AFFILIATES.
