SAFETY INTRODUCTION

Friendly Fire hosts shooters who represent a wide range of abilities and experience with firearms. Our procedures and rules are designed to provide a safe environment for all shooters, no matter what level of experience they have.


Every shooter is required to conduct themselves according to our Safety Rules. Please read them carefully so you understand what is expected for your own safety – and for the safety of those around you.


Anytime the Firearm Range is open, a Range Safety Officer (RSO) will be present. The RSO oversees safe operation of the Range, and to use this Range you agree to follow the instructions of the RSO on duty.


SAFE GUN HANDLING RULES

  1. ALWAYS KEEP THE FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
  2. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.
  3. ALWAYS KEEP THE ACTION OPEN AND THE FIREARM UNLOADED UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO USE IT.
  4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEHIND AND BEYOND YOUR TARGET.
  5. BE SURE THE GUN IS IN GOOD REPAIR AND SAFE TO OPERATE.
  6. KNOW HOW TO OPERATE THE GUN SAFELY.
  7. USE ONLY THE CORRECT AMMUNITION FOR YOUR GUN.
  8. ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND EAR PROTECTION.
  9. NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING.
  10. STORE GUNS SO THEY ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.


GENERAL RANGE RULES

  1. KNOW AND OBEY ALL RANGE COMMANDS.
  2. KNOW WHERE OTHERS ARE AT ALL TIMES.
  3. SHOOT ONLY AT AUTHORIZED TARGETS.
  4. GROUND LEVEL TARGETS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED WITHOUT A PROPER BACKSTOP.
  5. STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED A MALFUNCTION. GROUND OR BENCH THE FIREARM UNTIL A CEASE FIRE HAS BEEN CALLED.
  6. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE RANGE SAFETY OFFICER IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CARRY OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST – THEN ASK FOR AN EXPLANATION.
  7. WHEN A “CEASE FIRE” IS CALLED, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY STHOP SHOOTING, REMOVE THE MAGAZINE FROM YOUR WEAPON, UNLOAD ANY AMMUNITION IN THE CHAMBER OR INTERNAL MAGAZINE, OPEN THE ACTION, AND GROUND OR BENCH THE FIREARM FOR THE DURATION OF THE CEASE FIRE.
  8. Friendly Fire MAINTAINS A COMPLETE SEPARATION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND GUNS DURING A CEASE FIRE. WHILE THE CEASE FIRE IS IN EFFECT, DO NOT HANDLE, TOUCH OR MOVE ANY FIREARM. DO NOT STAND AT THE FIRING LINE. STAND BEHIND THE YELLOW SAFETY LINE.
  9. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED DOWN RANGE DURING LIVE FIRE PERIODS. WHEN THE RSO STATES THAT GUNS MAY BE MOVED, Friendly Fire REQUIRES THAT THE MUZZLE BE POINTED STRAIGHT UP WHILE THE GUN IS MOVING. DO NOT MOVE A GUN WITH THE MUZZLE POINTED DOWN OR HELD LEVEL.
  10. FOOD, BEVERAGES AND SMOKING ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE FIRING LINE.
  11. RESPECT THE RANGE. PLEASE PLACE YOUR TRASH IN THE TRASH RECEPTACLES AND YOUR SPENT BRASS INTO THE RECYCLING RECEPTACLES. 

 

RANGE COMMANDS

Friendly Fire uses “plain language” commands that are somewhat different from the standard line commands used at many ranges. We do this so the commands are clear to inexperienced shooters and public shooters who are not familiar with military or NRA command phrases. Here is the sequence of commands beginning from a Cease Fire period:

  1. “Shooters may step to the line and make ready to fire.” (Shooters are permitted to do everything to ready the firearm except pulling the trigger.)
  2. “Everyone check eyes and ears.” (The fire command will not be given until all persons at the range are wearing eye and ear protection.)
  3. “Fire at will.” (All shooters are free to fire their weapons until “Cease Fire” is called.)
  4. “Cease fire.” (All shooters will stop firing their weapons immediately.)
  5. “Make your weapon safe, remove magazines and insert your empty chamber indicator.” (All firearms must be fully emptied of ammunition and the yellow flag must be properly placed in the open chamber.)
  6. “If you have a gun you want to bring to the line or remove from the line, or if you want to move to a different distance, you may move the gun now.” (Move your firearms to or from a rack or to a different shooting bench, keeping the muzzle pointed skyward while moving the gun.)
  7. “Step behind the yellow line.” (No shooters will be permitted to go downrange until all persons are physically separated from the guns at the line.)
  8. “Anyone wanting to check, change or hang targets may do so.” (Shooters are permitted to go downrange to targets. All others remain BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE.)

 

AT THE RANGE

  1. The RSO is responsible for the safety of all shooters and visitors. Instructions given by the RSO must be followed without question.
  2. This is a COLD RANGE. That means you cannot load or handle a loaded firearm until the RSO gives you permission to do so.
  3. The RSO will assign a shooting bench to you. You may place any shooting equipment or accessories on the assigned bench, but the firearm may not be taken to the firing line until the RSO specifically instructs you to do so.
  4. Once at the bench, the firearm should always be pointed DOWNRANGE (toward the backstop berm.)
  5. The muzzle of your gun should never move outside an angle of control that is defined as 45 degrees to the left or right of the center line to the target. NEVER point the muzzle of loaded gun above the berm.
  6. DO NOT go downrange until the RSO is present and a cease-fire is in effect.
  7. “Shooting from the hip” is not permitted. Holstered pistols, and drawing from a holster, is not permitted.
  8. Stop shooting immediately upon the “Cease Fire” command, without regard to who called the command. Any shooter or spectator who observes an unsafe condition is authorized to call “Cease Fire,” and all other shooters are obligated to stop firing and step away from their firearm.
  9. Eating, smoking and drinking is prohibited. Lead particles are attracted to moist surfaces such as food, cigarette filters and beverage rims. Ingesting lead from any of those sources is dangerous.
  10. Airborne lead particles contaminate every surface at the range. Hands should be washed in COLD water and soap to remove particles. (Warm or hot water opens skin pores and allows the lead to penetrate the skin.)
  11. Pregnant women and children under the age of 7 should consult a physician before visiting the range. They should be aware of the dangers of lead exposure.
  12. Young people under the age of 12 are required to wear EAR MUFFS to protect their hearing. The size and structure of the ear canal in children under 12 is not suited to adult ear plugs, and plugs cannot be safely used.
  13. Shooters must remain behind the firing line at all times while shooting is in progress, and may not shoot from any position forward of the firing line. Prone shooting is NOT permitted at our recreational range.
