GENERAL LRP RULES:

  1. All participants must sign in at the CSEC range office before going to the LRP range.

  7. Shooters must police their brass and clean up following range use (mark your brass if you want to keep it).
  8. Those shooting auto loaders should use brass catchers or deflectors (be a good neighbor).
  9. Be neighborly, coordinate when multiple shooters are engaging the same target (take turns).
  10. When done, police your brass and trash, and clear your bench/position promptly after cease-fire is called.
  11. Parking in designated areas only.

LRP SAFETY RULES:

  1. Eye and Ear protection required for all shooters and spectators (available at CSEC office).
  2. Pointing or allowing a firearm (whether loaded or not) to be pointed at or near another person will result in immediate termination of shooting privileges for the day. This includes owners of unattended firearms placed horizontally anywhere other than on the firing line which someone walks in front of. THIS IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!!!
  3. No going forward of muzzles at any time while the range is hot for any reason. This includes to retrieve gear or pick up brass. Anyone going down-range of muzzles on the firing line while the line is hot will be required to put away their gear and stop shooting for the day and either leave or remain behind the firing line.
  4. Any accidental or negligent discharge will disqualify the shooter for the remainder of the day.
