SHOTGUN RANGES

Firearms

Any shotgun firing standard power shells of any gauge, but not larger than 7.5 shot.

Types of Shooting

Targets: Aerial clay targets and patterning board only. 

Firing from standard firing points only.

Gun muzzles must always remain pointed in a safe direction, and firearms must be handled in such a manner as to never point, even while unloaded and with the action open, at or near anyone.

All guns must have the action opened and contain no live or empty shells at any time, except when it is your turn to fire, and you are on-station and facing the field. 

A break-open gun’s action may be closed when it is in a gun rack, but it must not contain any live or empty shells.

In singles trap, when on-station you may place only one live shell in your gun at a time and must remove all live and empty shells before moving from one station to another.

In doubles trap shooting, or at a skeet station where two birds are delivered without changing shooters, you may place two live shells in your gun at a time, and you  must remove both live and empty shells before moving from one station to another.

Other

Only Shotgun Work Crew members may operate the club’s bird-throwing equipment. 

You may bring your own bird throwers and fire from any standard firing point in a safe direction.
