General Safety Rules:
Always Treat Firearms as if They Are Loaded
Never assume a firearm is unloaded. Always make sure to check and recheck before handling the firearm.
Muzzle Control
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Never point a firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
Trigger Discipline
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target and you have made the decision to shoot. This prevents accidental discharges.
Eye and Ear Protection
Safety glasses and ear protection are mandatory while on the range. Participants must ensure they have proper gear before beginning any training.
Safety Guidelines and Emergency Preparedness
Your safety is our top priority, and following proper protocols ensures a secure training environment for everyone while preparing you to respond effectively in any emergency situation.
Range Etiquette
Good range etiquette means following instructor directions at all times for safety and clarity. Report unsafe behavior right away to help prevent accidents and maintain a positive environment. Keep communication open by asking questions or clarifying instructions. Always stay alert so you can respond quickly to any changes or risks.
Emergency Procedures
Emergency procedures help keep everyone safe during training. Report any accidents, injuries, or unsafe conditions to staff immediately—quick action can prevent problems from escalating. First aid supplies are available on-site and trained personnel will respond to medical needs. Make sure you know the facility’s evacuation routes and emergency exits before training begins.
Your Safety, Our Shared Responsibility
Safety isn’t just a set of rules—it’s a mindset that protects everyone in our training community. By following proper protocols, staying alert, and communicating effectively, you help create an environment where learning thrives and everyone goes home safely. Remember, being prepared today means being confident tomorrow, so stay vigilant and never hesitate to speak up when it comes to safety concerns.
