Controlled Substances & Odor Policy
To maintain a safe and respectful environment, individuals who arrive with a strong odor of marijuana or any other noticeable substance may be denied access for the day. If the smell is overwhelming and affects the comfort of others in the Pro Shop or on the firing line, we must take action to ensure all guests and staff feel safe and focused on the range.

UNIVERSAL FIREARMS SAFETY RULES

The Four Rules of Firearms Safety

There’s no getting around it — these are the Four Rules that everything else is built on.

They’re universal. No matter where you are, what kind of firearm you’re handling, or how experienced you are, these rules always apply.

You’ll hear them from a Range Safety Officer on the Public Line, on the first day of a class, at every course, and likely again at your tenth match or your hundredth day on the range.

Why?

Because they work — and because they never stop mattering.

Before visiting your local range, we encourage you to slide through the Four Rules below to refresh your safety mindset. A quick review helps ensure you arrive focused, prepared, and aligned with the safety standards that keep everyone on the range safe.
