Tacoma Rifle and Revolver Club, University Place, Washington
 

 TRRC Range Rules


Violators are subject to suspension of range access privileges and possible membership revocation.

 

 
  • Range hours:
     
    • Weekends and holidays:  9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. or sunset, whichever is earlier.
       
    • Weekdays:  8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or sunset, whichever is earlier.

  • No loaded firearm passes through the club gate - neither in nor out (concealed weapons permit holders are exempt). All firearms on the club grounds will be empty of cartridges except on the designated firing lines.
     
  • Your membership 'badge' must be worn clearly visible when on club grounds.
     
  • Members must legibly sign in & out on the log for each range they use.
     
  • Members may bring guests, not to exceed two shooters except for immediate family. Members must accompany their guests at all times and are responsible for the conduct of their guests. Members must legibly register all shooting' guests on the log for each range they use. Other than immediate family, guests are limited to two visits to the club - regardless of who hosts them. Thereafter, they are expected to join the club for any further access.
     
  • Observe the 10 mph speed limit. 5 mph in front of the caretakers home.
     
  • On the firing lines, firearms will be unloaded and actions open unless actually in the shooter's hands being fired.
     
  • Non- shooters must stay behind the firing line when shooting is in progress.
     
  • Whenever anyone is forward of the firing line, all firearms will be empty of cartridges, actions open, and racked or benched. Do not handle any firearm for any reason.
     
  • Firing is permitted only from the designated firing points. Only paper targets may be used (no cans, bottles, rocks, metal or detonating targets). The paper targets must be hung on the club provided (or dimensionally equivalent) range specific target frames. Targets are to be placed in a manner that will result in bullet impact in essentially the center of the frame. The frames must be placed in the club provided frame holders, in a location essentially straight ahead downrange from the firing point being used. When posting targets, stay on the trails and roads. Do not climb banks or berms.
     
  • Firearms must be pointed downrange when loading. All firing must be directed downrange, essentially straight ahead from the chosen firing point. All bullets must impact in the appropriate impact berms.
     
  • When finished, clean up your firing area, pick up your cartridge cases, and retrieve your targets.
     
  • Aerial shooting is not allowed -- this includes shotguns with clay birds. Shotguns may be fired for pattern only on the main range.
     
  • Extremely rapid firing is not allowed. The maximum rate of fire is not more than one shot per second.
     
  • Tracer and incendiary ammunition are not allowed.
     
  • Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on, or adjacent to, active firing lines.
     
  • Members must be safety-conscious at all times and correct any unsafe practices. Notify the Range Master of any persistent safety violation or other problem.

  • All targets must be positioned at least one foot inside the Reactive Target Retaining Area and one foot from the walls. Not in front of, or on top of it.
     
  • All top (roof) boards must be in place before shooting. This means there are boards from the front edge of the walls to the metal at the back, with no gaps inbetween. Do not shoot at the walls or roof of the Retaining Area.
     
  • The Reactive Target Area MUST be completely cleaned by the shooter who uses it. All parts of all reactive targets must be removed (except water) and TAKEN HOME with you.
     
  • This target area was designed to provide members with a place to do bullet penetration tests, do bullet recoveries, or to demonstrate the destructive power of a firearm to children. Please keep this area safe and clean so no one loses their membership and we aren't forced to remove this target area.
