HIGH POWER RIFLE 1000 YARD (176C)

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRING ON THE HIGH POWER RIFLE RANGE

These instructions are for all people and activities that use this range.

1. Raise the red flag and close the gate at the range entrance.

2. Shooting will be done on authorized targets only.  Absolutely no plinking type shooting.  Shooters must never shoot at objects on any firing line area.

3. Prior to any shooting, check the entire pit area and ascertain there are no other people in the pit area.

4. Vehicles that remain in the pit area during shooting must be parked beyond the target sheds bordering the targets in use.  When targets between all sheds plus the east and west areas are in use, no vehicle parking will be allowed in the pits.

5. When shooting is being conducted with one or more people pulling targets, radio communication must be maintained.  If communication is lost all targets must be lowered all the way.  All firing will cease and the firing line made safe until communication is re-established.

6. The NRA Whittington Center provides radios for match or other organized events.  Unless special prior arrangements are made, individual practice shooters must provide their own radios.  CAUTION: Lock carriers down before removing target frames.

7. All people including pit officers will stay on the catwalk or in the communication building during firing.

8. Steel targets will never be used without prior arrangements with the Program Director.  Authorized targets are paper targets on the 6 ft. Square frames only.

9. Target shed #1 (west building) is left unlocked.  We try to maintain a small number of each type of target, pasters and spotters for informal practice.  If you have special target requirements, contact the Program Director before changing any target face.

10. Target position restrictions: Black Powder and 50 Caliber BMG shooters are not allowed to fire on the following target positions: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 85, 86, 87 and 88.  Conventional High Power rifle match shooters may use all positions except 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47.  However, 43 and 47 may be used for "hospital" targets.

11. If you need assistance or clarification on any of the above instructions, contact the Program Director.
