Firing Lane Safety Rules:

You must obey the Carson City Rifle & Pistol Range Safety Officers, or you are subject to eviction. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. If you see unsafe conduct, say something!

You Must Always:

  • Keep the firearm’s muzzle pointed in a safe direction, downrange.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  • Keep your firearm unloaded with the action open until on the firing line, ready to shoot.
  • Keep firearms cased, holstered or unloaded with action open and pointed in a safe direction when transporting from the parking lot to the firing line.
  • Use eye and ear protection when on the firing line.
  • Use ONLY industry standard paper or metal targets.
  • Stand behind the blue cold range line if not downrange during cease fire on the cold range.

You Must Never:

  •  Handle a firearm for any reason, at any time, whenever someone is downrange.
  • Use or possess or be under the influence of drugs or alcohol anywhere on the premises.
  • Use any targets other than industry standard targets. This means no glass, cans, appliances, fruits, vegetables or any hazardous item.
  • Climb or drive on the berms or backstops.
  • Use shotguns anywhere other than in the reservable shooting bays.
  • Use incendiary & tracer ammunition or exploding targets.
  •  Shoot over the berms or backstops. This means targets should be placed in a way that bullets will impact the backstop.
