SOUTH FORK RIFLE CLUB VARMINT SHOOT
AUGUST 25, 20012
SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY––THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AT ALL TIMES! DURING A MATCH!!!!
While on club property for a match, bolt-action firearms must have bolts remove. Slide, lever or hinged action firearms will have their actions open and a piece of cloth inserted into the action so it can be seen and the action cannot be closed. Please keep the action of your firearm open, the magazine or clip (s) empty and carry your firearm with the muzzle pointed skywards until you are on the firing line. Once you are given the command by the “range master” to install bolts you may load your firearm, clips, etc. After you have completed a relay please be sure your firearm, magazine and/or clips are again made safe.
You may clean or work on your firearm during a match. These activities shall be done behind the firing line.
If, during your relay, you have a problem with your firearm or other equipment on the bench, you may request and will receive help from the “range master” or someone he designates to help you. However you must complete your record string for that relay in the allotted time period. After the “cease fire” command for that relay is given the relay is final.
In the case of an “emergency cease fire” command, all shooters will immediately make their firearms safe and step behind the orange line which is behind their bench. Once the problem is solved the “range master” will order the relay back to their benches and the remaining time and if necessary additional time may be given to complete the relay.
All youth shooters MUST have a parent or legal guardian (18 years of age or older) with them while they are at the shooting bench or handling a firearm on the club’s property.
Everyone on the benches must have and utilize eye and ear protection during a “Commence Fire” period. This is each person’s responsibility. Absolutely no alcoholic beverages on club property during the match.
