Watervliet Practical Shooters

Please remember each member may bring only two guests at a time. Both you and your guests must sign the log books and have eye and ear protection on active ranges.

You are responsible for the behavior and safety of your guests. To safely supervise your guests and as a courtesy to other members, especially on busy range days, please share a bench with your guests so that WFGPA members may also use the range.

Cold Range (It's safe to go down range): If there is anyone down range, the range is cold and no firearms are to be handled. It is acceptable to load detached magazine when the range is cold. Please communicate and cooperate when a trip down range is required making sure all users of the range are aware of range status. Never proceed down range without confirming with all participants that the range is cold. Bolts and actions should be open. If you're action doesn't lock open please use an Unloaded Chamber Indicator.

Hot Range (It's unsafe to go down range): Please communicate and verify the range is hot with all participants and make sure everyone is wearing eye & ear protection before handling firearms and firing. Always point firearms in a safe direction. Loaded firearms must always be pointed downrange at the berm.
