RANGE #8, 25/50/75/100 Yard Rifle Range
Range Rules and allowed caliber
- Shooters using Range #8 are required to have their firearm(s) ENCASED when removing them from their transportation and moving the firearm(s) to the firing line or shooting bench.
- CHAMBER FLAG USE IS REQUIRED
- This Range operates with the BLUE LIGHT HOT and COLD principle. See RANGE RULES
- The target backers and shooting benches are color-coded. Each yardage division (25, 50, 75, 100) yards have target backers and shooting benches showing the same color code and are to be used as a pair.
- Please pay attention as to the yardage division you want to shoot. There may be a repeat of the same color code on the 100-yard section and other yardage division. Some of the target backers will have two shooting benches with the same color code. These backers are to be shared between the two shooting benches.
- Any modern rifle smaller than .50 caliber, shotguns (slugs only) or muzzleloading rifles/muskets may be used on this range.
- Only scoped or iron sighted modern hunting handguns are allowed on this range.
- All un-cased firearms must be kept on the firing line shooting benches with the muzzle pointing toward the berm. Un-cased firearms are not allowed behind the RED LINE, except to move from one shooting position to another. Encased firearms not in use will be kept on the firing line under the shooters bench or on the adjacent shooting bench, if available, with the firearm(s) inside pointed toward the berm.
- Only paper targets may be used on the 25/50/75 or 100 yard target backers provided by EGC.
- NO clay targets may be used on this range.
- From time to time when the range is very busy, the 20/5 MINUTE RULE may be put into effect. The 20/5 MINUTE RULE states that the range will remain HOT for 20 minutes and COLD for 5 minutes. The above RULE may be called by the RSO or the shooters themselves as the need arises.
- The rule will only be used when it is necessary to keep the range running smoothly. If the Rule is called by the RSO he/she will keep the time and call HOT/COLD range. However if the RULE is called by mutual agreement of the shooters, the time will be called HOT/COLD by the shooter who wanted the RULE called, until such a time as the RSO can take over.
- NO MOTOR VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED ON RANGE #8 BETWEEN THE FIRING LINE AND THE TARGET BACKERS
