Procedures For Using the Range

  • To enter the controlled area of the property, you must use a gate access card at the card reader by the entrance. This will open the motorized gate. The gate is timed for one vehicle only, so please DO NOT tailgate as Champion Defense will not be responsible for any damage to vehicles.

  • Each person that is granted access to the Shooting Complex will be issued a gate access card. That card is only permitted to be used by the person to whom it was issued. At NO TIME should the gate access card be used to grant access to anyone other than the designated person. Please note that any violation of this rule can cause deactivation of the gate access card and possible revocation to the range facility.

  • If a member forgets their club issued gate card, they must stop into the office and show identification to obtain a temporary gate access card to the range facility for that day.

  • Before setting up your equipment, even if the RED LIGHTS/ALARM are not activated, please check to ensure that no one is down range.

  • Before going down range to place your target, activate the RED LIGHT/ALARM switch on the top right corner of the left bay to notify other shooters that the range is turning cold. Then check to ensure that no one is shooting and that the firing line is safe before moving forward.
