Range rules
- Every firearm is treated as loaded at all times.
- Muzzle pointed downrange; finger off the trigger until on target.
- Eye and ear protection is mandatory for everyone on the range.
- The Range Officer’s commands are final. Cease fire means stop immediately.
- Firearms are uncased only at the firing line or in a designated safe area.
- You must carry your Firearm User’s Licence and present it at sign-in.
- No alcohol or impairing substances before or during shooting.
- All ammunition used on the range is recorded against your licence.
What to bring
- Firearm User’s Licence (or permit/certificate) and government ID — checked at sign-in every visit

How we keep you safe
- The range is inspected every day before it opens — backstop, firing line, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher and communications
- A certified Range Officer supervises all live fire
- Every shooter passes a safety check at sign-in: licence, eye and ear protection, cased firearm, briefing, fitness to shoot
- Every round sold and fired is recorded against your licence
- Trauma kit on site; emergency services: police 119, fire/ambulance 110
Breach of range rules may lead to removal from the range and suspension of membership.
