1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISKS

I, the undersigned, on behalf of myself and my heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and representatives, hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to enter, use, and/or participate in activities at BTO Range & Training Center ("BTO Range").

I understand that activities at a shooting range, including the use, handling, discharge, cleaning, and transport of firearms and ammunition, involve known and unanticipated risks, including but not limited to:

  • Accidental discharge of firearms;
  • Injury or death from being shot;
  • Hearing loss;
  • Eye injury or loss;
  • Burns, lacerations, or other trauma;
  • Inhalation of airborne contaminants or lead exposure; and
  • Injury due to others' negligence, equipment malfunction, or range conditions.

I voluntarily assume all risks, both known and unknown, associated with my presence at or participation in activities at BTO Range, including risks caused by the negligence of others.

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Unless I specifically inform BTO Range staff otherwise at check-in, I represent and warrant that:

  • I am experienced and competent in the safe handling, loading, use, and discharge of all firearms and ammunition I intend to use;
  • I am familiar with fundamental firearms safety rules;
  • I have no medical, physical, or mental condition that would impair my ability to safely participate in range activities;
  • I have never been convicted of a felony or a crime of domestic violence; and
  • I am not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing or using firearms or ammunition;
  • I further represent and warrant that I am not under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or any medication (prescribed or otherwise) that could impair my judgment, coordination, or ability to safely handle firearms.

I understand that BTO Range is relying upon the truth of these representations in permitting me to participate.

3. RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

IN CONSIDERATION for being permitted to enter, use, or participate in any activity at BTO Range, I hereby agree as follows:

A. RELEASE OF LIABILITY:

I HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, FOREVER DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE BTO RANGE, including its owners, officers, directors, members, agents, employees, contractors, instructors, safety officers, affiliates, volunteers, and assigns (collectively "Released Parties"), FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, including CLAIMS ALLEGING NEGLIGENCE of the Released Parties, that arise out of or relate in any way to my participation or presence at BTO Range.

THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR INTENTIONAL ACTS of the Released Parties.

B. INDEMNIFICATION:

I AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS** the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses (including attorney's fees), or liabilities arising out of or related to:

  • My actions or omissions;
  • My violation of BTO Range rules or policies; or
  • My participation in activities at the range.

If any Released Party must incur attorney's fees or costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to reimburse those costs.

4. RULES AND CONDUCT

I agree to abide by all posted Range Rules and Regulations, and to comply with all instructions given by BTO Range staff or Range Safety Officers.

I understand that violation of range rules or unsafe behavior may result in immediate removal from the facility without refund.

5. MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION

In the event of injury or medical emergency, I authorize BTO Range personnel or emergency responders to seek and obtain medical care for me as deemed necessary. I agree to be solely responsible for any medical costs incurred.

6. INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

I understand that I am solely responsible for any injury, loss, or damage I may cause or sustain while on the premises, and I am encouraged to maintain appropriate insurance coverage for such risks.

7. VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY CONSENT

I understand that BTO Range uses video surveillance for safety and security, and may also capture photographs or video for promotional purposes. I consent to the use of my likeness in such materials without compensation, unless I specifically decline in writing prior to participation.

8. MINORS (IF APPLICABLE)

If the participant is under 18 years of age, this agreement must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. The parent/guardian agrees to all terms herein, assumes all risks on behalf of the minor, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BTO Range from any claims brought by or on behalf of the minor. The proper minor waiver must be filled out for all minor participants whether they are participating in live fire activities or spectating on any of the range lanes.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
