1. All
members and guests, whether shooting or not, will adhere to the following Range Rules and
must follow the direction of any Club Certified Range Safety Officer (RSO) while on WWGC
property. Any direction, suggestion or interpretation of range rules by an RSO is binding.
RSOs have orange membership cards and/or orange headgear. RSOs have the authority to
remove any person from WWGC property with instructions not to return until the Board of
Directors has decided the disposition of their behavior. Membership dues, initiation fees,
match and use fees are non-refundable.Possession of a concealed carry permit does not
alter any of the range rules.
2. NO
alcoholic beverages are
allowed on WWGC property. Consumption of alcohol prior to entering WWGC property is
prohibited.
3. The
WWGC shooting park is a “COLD RANGE:” NO movement with a loaded firearm
unless participating in a sanctioned and supervised match, NO holstered pistols or
revolvers will be worn on the property. NO handling of firearms when people are down
range: ALL firearms will be benched or grounded with the action open, safety on and
magazine removed if possible, then STAND AWAY, DON’T TOUCH: New shooters arriving at
the range will not uncase or handle firearms when anyone is forward of the firing line.
Any time a firearm is not pointed directly at a provided backstop all parts of the
shooter’s hand will be visibly outside the trigger guard. Muzzle discipline is
absolutely essential, always point firearms down range when shooting.
4. The
RED flag will be raised any time anyone is on range property. Only the farmer raises the YELLOW flag.
When the yellow flag is raised shooters will first make a reasonable effort to determine
that no one is working down range. If the farmer is contacted, shooters will cooperate
with the farmer to safely use the range property. The farmer does not have the authority
to stop use of the range. The farmer has a Non-Member ID card and has been granted
permission to cross WWGC Property. Ultimate responsibility for safe use of the property
rests with the shooter.
5. Shooting
hours are from 8:00 AM to 1 hour before sunset on week days & 9:00 AM to 1 hour before
sunset on weekends. (Scheduled Matches and mowing take priority) Hunting is not
permitted; firing at live birds or animals is prohibited. Open use of other parts of
the range property during posted matches is at the discretion of the match director,
and/or assigned safety officer.

cards & photo ID must be shown upon request of any club member, (or Law Enforcement)
anyone without proof of membership will leave the property. (Other than when the range is
open to the public for posted events.)
7. TARGETS:
It is the shooter’s responsibility to only fire on targets placed at the proper
height for bullets to impact the provided backstops, no projectiles are to strike the
ground between the shooter and the provided backstop. NO glass objects, rocks,
stones or cylindrical metal objects will be used as targets, stationary clay targets will
be placed directly on the backstop. Gong or paddle type targets must be placed directly at
the base of a provided backstop and will be constructed is such a manner that projectile
fragments will be directed down. Targets will NOT be placed in the immediate
proximity of metal target stands, frames or bases or directly over the wood framework of
the target stands.
8. The
entry gate will be locked at all times (close after entering). The only exceptions are
during scheduled events and workdays.
9. Before going down range obtain verbal
clearance from everyone on the firing line. Before the start of resumption of firing
inform everyone verbally on the firing line that the “RANGE IS HOT.” During open
use of the range, shooters are expected to be aware of others and respect their wishes to
go down range.
10. NO cross lane shooting, projectiles are to
be fired into the provided back stop at exactly a 90 degree angle (straight in line with
the shooting position, not at targets in a shooting lane with a higher or lower number)
11. AMMUNITION: No tracer, incendiary
or armor piercing rounds are to be used, exploding targets are not permitted or any target
that could create a fire hazard. The short range is a “rimfire/handgun” range.
No rifle caliber handguns, no shotgun slugs or buckshot.
12. Police your trash, targets and BRASS
(even rimfire), after shooting, place in the proper receptacle, put chairs, stands and
benches back to their proper position, leave nothing in front of the firing line that was

Keeping a presentable range is each member’s responsibility!!

highly recommends that all members retain a signed copy of these range rules for each
guest using the range.
16. Shooting is a dignified activity;
range etiquette, appropriate language, and responsible adult behavior is expected at all
times.
