Ammo should be PRE-LOADED INTO MAGAZINES for each station!!! ( You may reload between stages, but not strings) Shooters will only be able to shoot the ammo that they have pre-loaded and on themselves once they step into the box.... This is both a time safety issue. Any shooters that have less than the needed round count in magazines will still be able to shoot---but once out of pre-loaded magazines, the shooter is DONE for that station/stage. Eye and ear protection is mandatory. NO INSIDE THE WAISTBAND HOLSTERS ALLOWED. No concealed holsters. No loaded firearms until instructed by the RSO to 'load and make ready'. Firearms are only to be uncased or unholstered at designated areas. No exceptions.
Any pistol caliber handgun or carbine may be used-- no magnum, steel core,FN5.7 or 22TCM ammo !!

HUNTER SAFETY COURSE
HUNTER SAFETY COURSE
You have the choice of taking either the Independent Study Course or the full instructional course each year in August. For the independent study course, you would register online and study on your own. Then you would need to come to the club and take the test.
