Skis should be worn at all times on the range. Ski boots make firing points uneven and punch holes in the trail.
All range users should assist in the set-up (arrive 15 minutes before range opening) and/or take down of the range.
- This includes:
- Rolling out and up ropes
- Placing and returning carpets to timing shack
- Stapling and removing used paper targets from zero boards
- Picking up spent brass
Range officers have very generously donated their time; don't make them do all of the work! When everyone works together it gets done a lot faster!
Race Day Range Protocol
Optimal Range Personnel
- Chief of Range- assigns zero targets
- 1-2 Safety Officers- watch for problems helps shooters
- Loaders for Club Rifles
- 6-8 Lane Recorders- focused only on recording hits/misses
- 4 Pullers- reset targets after verbally confirming with a lane recorder>
- 2 Penalty Loop Recorders
During the race, no other people (spectators, parents) should be on the firing range once the race starts and until the last shooter has gone through the range. All competitor equipment, spectators, and parents need to be behind the fence during the race.
If a shooter needs assistance, he/she should raise their hand. A range official will come to the firing point to assist him/her.
All range personnel should stay near the fence except to assist a shooter or reset targets.
Traffic is one-way on the range on race days. Athletes passing through the range have the right of way. Shooters leaving the firing line must use caution.
Non-carrying competitors (all ages) may have to share club rifles or use a rifle they did not zero with. All non-carry rifles will remain on the firing line and a range officer or puller will provide full magazines.
Athletes must stay within the area of their firing point. Care should be taken to keep skis and poles within one's own firing point.
