Safety

At the Shooting Range we always follow the 5 golden rules of gun safety.

No Exceptions …. Ever

These rules have been put in place to ensure that no accidents happen, and are used on Shooting Ranges throughout the world.

Rule 1: No Alcohol on the range.

For obvious reasons we do not allow drinking and shooting at the same time, with this in mind No Alcohol is allowed to be drunk on the range or prior to shooting. Any person thought to be under the influence of Alcohol or drugs will be asked to leave immediately and will forfeit their range fees. Alcohol can be consumed in our Lapa, but only AFTER you have completed your shoot

Rule 2: The Gun Is Always Loaded

Always assume that every gun is loaded ….
Imagine you’re at the range and a buddy of yours has a new gun that he just picked up. He asks if you want to shoot it and you say “Well, obviously!”.
Even if he shows you that the gun is clear and sets it down, the first thing you should always do when you pick it up is to safety-check it. This also applies to setting it down again.
Whenever the gun is out of your control, even if you set it on a table for 30 seconds, you ALWAYS want to safety-check it when you pick it up. There is no exception to this rule.

Rule 3: Never Point The Gun At Something You Are Not Prepared To Destroy.

Never Point The Gun At Something You Are Not Prepared To Destroy.
If you’ve done your safety-check and are absolutely sure that your gun is unloaded, that does not give you the go-ahead to be careless with it. Remembering the first rule, The Gun Is ALWAYS Loaded, you should never point it toward anything that you are not prepared to destroy.
At our shooting range we expect you to keep your firearm pointed down range at all times

Rule 4: Always Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Behind It.

Bullets can go through – and beyond – your intended target. Knowing what’s behind your target is an essential step to safety and responsibility.

Rule 5: Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Your Sights Are On The Target.

Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Your Sights Are On The Target.
This 5th rule, arguably the most important one, should be practiced 100% of the time (as with all of these rules). With any modern firearm, as long as your finger is away from the trigger guard, your firearm will not discharge. Knowing this, there should be 0% chance of a negligent discharge.

Every single time that you pick up a firearm, you should be following these 5 rules. If you follow the rules each and every time, they will become second nature.
