Indoor Range Backstop Damaged by high velocity rounds

See the image below of damage to the indoor range backstop caused by high velocity rounds. Please keep in mind that the only firearms allowed on the indoor range are handguns firing ammunition rated at less than 2,000 fps and .22 LR rifles. Pistols firing ammunition with a muzzle velocity in excess of 2000 FPS (e.g. the FN Five-seveN), Shotguns and other rifles such as, but not limited to .22 magnum and .17 HMR are prohibited. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in disciplinary action and may result in termination of membership.

If you are aware of any member or guest violating this rule, please refer them to the range rules and/or report the violation to any club officer, director or RSO or via e-mail to the secretary.

Continued damage to the backstop will make it necessary to close the indoor range pending a reorientation of all members regarding range rules.

Help Maintain the Club Environment

In light of our growing membership and the subsequent increased use of the club ranges, members are reminded of the need to keep the club’s facilities in order. To support and provide a safe and clean environment for everyone it is imperative that all members and leagues leave the ranges in the order in which they found them. It is expected that all equipment be returned to its original space after use. For example, tables, archery butts, signs, and backstop foam. Failure to return the club’s facilities to an orderly condition after use will result in action by the Board of Directors against the specific members/leagues involved. Cardboard and targets that you hang should not be left on the range or placed in the trashcans. It should be carried out and placed in the dumpster located in the clubhouse parking lot.
