NextPreviousFirst
bull Semi-automatic firearm ndash One trigger function results in a single shotbull Bump-fire crank triggers and other similar devices ndash Special components that

bull FACILITY SCHEDULE AVAILABILITYbull SAGC is normally open to members 24 hours a day every day Occasionally
situations such as maintenance construction or special events may result in all or part of the range being closed During special events parts of the range may be open to non-members Non-members shooting in special events are under the authority of the event director SAGC approved and scheduled matches and official militarylaw enforcement training take precedence over individual member use at all times In most cases the entire range will not be closed areas will remain open for normal use When the entire range must be closed for a major event a notice will be posted at the range and on the Club website

bull FAMILY MEMBERSHIPbull SAGC memberships are considered family memberships with one fee one
provided key and one vote per membership No additional membership fee is charged for immediate family members of a paid club member If an additional key is desired it can be purchased for a small fee If your spouse or immediate family member over 18 years of age wants to come to the range without you they must first attend an orientation class and fill out a Membership Agreement A spouse or family member that has not completed orientation and signed a Membership Agreement may not come to the range unless accompanied by a fully documented SAGC member A dependent may continue this practice until he or she turns 21 years of age but the following membership year they must obtain their own membership Members will only loan their key to an adult family member who has completed the current SAGC orientation and signed the Membership Agreement
bull GUESTSbull Members may bring a reasonable number of guests to the club However we
request if a guest who resides in the Concho Valley area uses the facility more than a couple of times a year they be encouraged to get their own membership The member who brings a guest must be in direct supervision of that guest at all times and is responsible for the guests actions

Eye amp Ear Protection Required
bull EYE AND EAR PROTECTION REQUIREDbull Members and their guests are required to
wear eye and ear protection on SAGC property when any shooting activity is in progress Everyone should be wearing glasses of some kind at all times when on the range and not inside an enclosed vehicle or building Even though you are not shooting fragments may come your way at high speed and without warning This requirement applies to everyone not just the shooter
bull If you are purchasing safety glasses for children you may find it helpful to select those with thin ear pieces as hearing muffs often painfully press on the ear pieces of those with smaller faces and may cause a child to not want to wear their safety equipment
NextPreviousFirst
bull ALL LEGAL FIREARMS ARE ALLOWED bull Firearms falling under National Firearms Act (NFA) rules) must have current
documentation and the member should be prepared to produce such documentation immediately upon request by an SAGC officer
bull The use of non-registered National Firearms Act firearms on SAGC property is specifically disallowed The membership of an offender or the offenders hosts membership will be revoked
bull COLD RANGEbull SAGC operates as a cold range All firearms must be empty except when a shooting
activity in the bay or on the firing line is ready to be safely startedbull The cold range limitation does not apply to firearms carried under legal authority
such as a law enforcement officer or a License to Carry holder provided those firearms remain concealed (or holstered for law enforcement) while the member is outside of an active shooting area
bull If you are a License to Carry holder planning to practice with your firearm whether concealed or open carry go to a bay range or designated unload area when provided as soon you can safely face downrange and unload your firearm Once your firearm is unloaded it falls under the cold range rule until you safely place it back into legal carry status and leave gun club property
NextPreviousFirst
bull MUZZLE DIRECTIONbull Always be aware of your muzzle direction You may believe that your firearm is
empty but other people do not know whether or not your firearm is empty Always treat your firearm as if it is loaded and DO NOT point it at anything or anyone that you do not intend to shoot (Safety Rules 1 amp 2)
bull SHARING A BAY OR RANGE bull Your firing line usually runs from the berm on your left to the berm on your right bull If you are sharing a bay in the Action area and another shooter wants to shoot at a
different distance one of you may need to set targets next to a side berm so both of you can keep the same firing line with a different target distance or you may need to take turns shooting

bull NEVER SHOOT WHEN ANYONE IN YOUR BAY OR RANGE IS FORWARD OF YOUR FIRING LINE (Safety Rules 2 amp 3)
bull The command CEASE FIRE or ldquoSTOPrdquo will be obeyed immediately no matter who says it Anyone may call a cease-fire or ldquostoprdquo in an immediate attempt to resolve an unsafe situation
bull When sharing a bay or range with others make sure that everyone on the firing line knows when you are going down range Since the others are wearing hearing protection be sure to get their attention and make sure that they understand what you intend to do and when you intend to do it DO NOT go forward of the firing line until all firearms are made safe
bull If you have been told STOP or CEASE FIRE for others to go downrange completely unload your firearm Step back from your firearm and do not do anything with your firearm while people are forward of the firing line
bull DO NOT touch your firearm or resume firing until everyone is back behind the firing line
bull And last but not least firearms will be emptied and made safe per cold range rules before leaving the firing line

such as a law enforcement officer or a License to Carry holder provided those firearms remain concealed (or holstered for law enforcement) while the member is outside of an active shooting area
bull If you are a License to Carry holder planning to practice with your firearm whether concealed or open carry go to a bay range or designated unload area when provided as soon you can safely face downrange and unload your firearm Once your firearm is unloaded it falls under the cold range rule until you safely place it back into legal carry status and leave gun club property

different distance one of you may need to set targets next to a side berm so both of you can keep the same firing line with a different target distance or you may need to take turns shooting

bull Bring your own targets NEVER PLACE TARGETS DIRECTLY ON THE GROUND OR ON TOP OF A BERM The provided target supports have 2 x 4 lumber at the top and bottom so be sure to place your target in the center of the frame so your bullets do not strike the lumber Do not move the stationary target supports in the Precision ranges or long bays in the Action area Bring your own target stands for use in the Action area in case the provided target supports are not available
bull If you use a provided target support in the Action area do not shoot the wood or stand on purpose When shooting buck or birdshot place your targets on your own supports Do not shoot club provided target supports with buck or birdshot Clay targets may be placed midway on a berm as stationary targets
NextPreviousFirst
bull Do not use anything as a target that can produce sharp shards could roll over the berm or down on the ground or cause harmful effects Examples of targets that are not allowed include glass ground bouncing targets golf balls softballs bowling balls rolling targets TVs computers printers Pick up after yourself and dispose of your used targets in the trash containers Explosive targets such as Tannerite are currently not allowed In order to minimize the possibility of ricochets only shoot at targets so your bullet will impact vertical dirt in a berm or a designated bullet trap
bull NO armor piercing or tracer rounds will be fired on the range Armor piercing or tracer rounds are potential fire hazards
