Here is additional information for all you black powder enthusiasts out there… and there are about a dozen of you in the Club, not to mention interested outsiders. Pro-gram Manager Ron Watton is planning a black powder round ball shoot in early spring and he will need some help in run-ning the event. There will be some sacri-fice involved because the helpers will be too busy to participate. So if you’re familiar with Kentucky Rifles and would like to help Ron get this program off to a roaring start in 2013, give him a call at (724)941-5891.

SHOTGUN TRAP. The formal Tuesday night program is over. The hand traps to the left of the trap house are available for use year round. NOTE: Because of internal problems the USRA Winter Postal League has, in effect, disbanded. This winter’s competition will be intramural. The matches may include a less rigid format, including freestyle shoot-ing positions for air pistols, the use of scopes, etc. This approach will draw more shooters to this program. Call Ted Hil-dabrand at (724)942-2125f or details.

kneeling score.

We had eight people travel to Clymer last night; it was great to see everyone there. Dominique Thomas,

high lady and high junior in the PSRL last week came in all the way from Ohio to shoot, and get a shoot-

ahead in for the Frazier match next week. Dominique is going to Costa Rica for the semester, and we

wish her safe travels.

RANGE RULES of the

Dormont – Mt. Lebanon Sportsmen’s Club

(Revised January 2013)

• The purpose of these rules is to assure the safety of all persons using the facilities of the

Club, to safeguard the facilities, and to facilitate the safe functioning of the Club within

our community.

• Every member is responsible for promoting strict adherence to the letter and spirit of

these rules. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

The Executive Range Officer has overall responsibility for the safe operation of the

Club. However, every member is equally charged with knowing, understanding, follow-

ing, and enforcing these rules.

• These rules are in force at all times and during all events. It is the responsibility of all

members to strictly adhere to these rules, and shall insist on similar adherence by all

others.

• MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO CARRY THEIR GATE CARDS AT ALL TIMES. MEMBERS MUST

PRESENT THEIR CARDS AND BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES WHEN ASKED BY ANY OTHER

MEMBER.

• Any member observing conduct contrary to these rules shall bring the matter to the attention of the person

responsible for such conduct. This shall be done in a courteous manner reflecting the member’s concern

for mutual safety and adherence to club rules. Belligerent or dictatorial expressions shall be avoided. In

the event this effort does not produce the desired results, the member shall bring the matter to the atten-

tion of the Executive Range Officer (ERO).

• Firearm Safe Handling.

� Always point firearms, loaded or otherwise, in a safe direction that, should it dis-

charge, no catastrophe would result. Keep your finger off of the trigger until

ready to fire. Keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use.

� Do not touch or handle firearms for any reason, if anybody is forward of the line.

Do not handle clips, magazines, ammunition, scopes, or any other device which

is on the firing line if anybody is forward of the line.

� In all circumstances, shooters on a particular range shall cease fire and

“CLEAR” their firearms before another shooter starts forward. (“CLEAR”

means that actions are open, ammunition and magazines are removed, and all persons step back from the line).

� After clearing their firearm, each shooter will declare CLEAR before anyone

moves forward of the firing line. When everybody has returned behind the firing

line each shooter will declare the LINE IS HOT before shooters can again com-

mence firing.

• The following activities are STRICTLY PROHIBITED:

� Use of firearms in the fully automatic mode.

� Use of exploding targets.

� Use of tracer and incendiary bullets.

NEW RANGE RULES

12

� Haphazard firing (bump fire, uncontrolled fire - rapid or otherwise)

� Cross firing at targets.

� Shooting from the draw.

� Use of alcoholic beverages and recreational drugs.

• When you shoot at a target, the bullet must be captured by a bunker or backstop.

Place your target appropriately!

• Shoot only on designated ranges using the appropriate firearm and ammunition for that

range. Only shoot at targets for which those ranges are intended. Targets are not to be

attached to any of the wood or metal features on that range.

• Before proceeding beyond the 100 yd. bunker, all shooters will follow the range specific

notification procedures.

• The safety and behavior of all children and guests is the responsibility of the host mem-

ber. When going forward of the firing line for any reason, you shall not leave children

unattended at the firing line.

• On all ranges firearms shall not be carried forward of the firing line for any reason. The

only exception is a carry firearm that remains not in use and is not fired during that ses-

sion.

• Follow the Club’s safe shooting hours and the 9 am Sunday start.

• Eye and Ear protection is mandatory for all shooters and guests.

• All members must comply with the signage posted on each range.

• At the conclusion of your shooting activity, police the range. Remove everything that

you brought.

Specific Range Rules

Upper Pistol Range

1. Standard equipment and ammunition, as defined in the NRA Pistol Rule book, may be

used on this range. Additionally, equipment and ammunition common to pistol Silhou-

ette shooting may be used for competition or practice. No Rifles are to be used on the

pistol range except during sanctioned Silhouette Matches.

2. Paper targets or metal silhouette targets are allowed.

3. Firing shall be accomplished from the firing line only.

4. When notified that a member on another range is proceeding beyond the 100 yd. bunker,

all firearms will be CLEARED and remain CLEARED until that member returns and

states that the range is hot.

5. Shooting at less than 7 yards is limited to the Plinking range.

Rifle Range

1. Standard equipment and ammunition, as defined in the NRA Rifle Rule book, may be

used on this range. Equipment and ammunition common to Silhouette shooting and

Black Powder rifle shooting as well as shotguns with rifled slugs, may also be used for

competition or practice.

13

2. Only paper targets or metal silhouette targets are allowed. You may use the target

frames provided or you may bring your own frame that fit into the holes in the ground,

in which case you are required to mount it in such a manner that the bullets impact the

bunkers.

3. Firing shall be accomplished from the firing line only.

4. Shooting shall be at 50 yards, 50 meters, 100 yards, 100 meters, 150 meters and 200

yards only.

5. Any shooter proceeding beyond the 100 yd. bunker is responsible for notifying all

shooters on the upper pistol or bench rest ranges. Other shooters shall cease fire,

CLEAR their firearms, and step back from the firing line while anyone is forward of the

100 yd. bunker. When the member returns to the firing line, they are responsible for no-

tifying other ranges when the target area is safe by stating the range is hot. 6. When using the benches on the right side of the Rifle Range, you must place your target

on the permanent backers provided at 50, 100 and 200 yards. Do not place club provid-

ed target frames at intermediate ranges or place homemade target frames in the ground

as high velocity bullets will hit the ground and can ricochet over the hill behind the

range.

Trap Range and Manual Trap Range 1. The trap range is available only during organized Club functions.

2. A permanent manual trap stand with two target launchers is available for use by the gen-

eral membership near the Trap Range. Only #7-1/2 and smaller pellets with 3 dram

loads maximum may be used on this range as larger shot and heavier loads will carry off

of our property. #6 and larger shot is NOT Permitted on this range. Also be aware that

the range is constructed to limit the available swing of the shotguns to assure the safety

of those on the Pistol Range and the Archery Range. HAND TRAPS ARE NOT PER-

MITTED ON THIS RANGE. Follow the instructions posted on the Manual Trap

Range to assure that you are using the equipment properly and safely.

Bench Rest Range 1. The intended use of this range involves the benches and the greater stability that they

afford. Other forms or positions of shooting MUST be done elsewhere. ALL SHOOT-

ING MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED ONLY FROM A SEATED POSITION WITH THE

FIREARM BENCHED. (Benched means that the firearm must be supported by a

sand bag, cradle, or other artificial support). 2. Center fire rifles, rim fire rifles, shotguns with rifled slugs, black powder rifles and sin-

gle shot “Contender” type pistols which are BENCHED when being used are the only

acceptable types of firearms used on this range. No rapid fire shooting is permitted.

This range is reserved for slow controlled sighting in and precision shooting.

3. Paper targets only shall be fastened to the supplied backers at 50, 100, and 200 yards.

They shall be fastened such that the bullet will not strike the wooden frame. Frames

brought from home or from other ranges shall not be used.

4. Any shooter proceeding beyond the 100 yd. bunker is responsible for notifying all

shooters on the upper pistol or rifle ranges. Other shooters shall cease fire, CLEAR

their firearms, and step back from the firing line while anyone is forward of the 100 yd.

14

bunker. When the member returns to the firing line, they are responsible for notifying

other ranges when the target area is safe by stating the range is hot.

Plinking Range 1. This range was created for the fun of simply shooting and is intended for the complete

un-organized enjoyment of the membership. The only restrictions apply to safety.

As it is permissible to shoot at various distances from the targets, range use is limited to

one person/group at a time. When the range is already in use, a newly arriving person/

group may request to jointly use the range. However, the person/group initially on the

range maintains the option for the joint use. As a courtesy to all members, do not mo-

nopolize the range and have consideration for those that also wish to use the range. In

all cases, use common sense, be courteous, and consider the safety of others. 2. Only pistols, shotguns, .22 caliber rim-fire rifles and center fire rifles that are chambered

for a straight wall pistol cartridge may be used on this range. Rifles that are chambered

for any bottle neck center-fire cartridge or .17 caliber cartridge are prohibited.

3. Informal targets such as metal cans and plastic jugs are allowed and water is the only

liquid permitted to be used in these targets. Remember to consider ricochet when posi-

tioning targets. Control your elevation – the trees are not a backstop and may not be

used for target support! 4. An object containing any amount of glass is prohibited.

5. Clean up after yourself! If you brought it in, you take it out!

6. Even under control, the practice of emptying magazines at the highest possible rate is

still an unsafe practice.

Lower Archery Range 1. Archers shall not use broad heads on the 3D targets, only practice points.

2. Any type of bow or cross bow can be used on this range.

3. Archers may use the provided 3D targets or may bring their own 3D targets. They may

also use individually owned archery “cubed foamed targets” designed for broad heads.

4. Archers are responsible for policing their expended arrows and or bolts.

5. No firearm use of any kind is permitted.

6. Archers are required to approach the range from the rear if the range is occupied. Arch-

ers on the range shall immediately “Cease Fire” and “Clear” their bows by removing

bolts or arrows as soon as vehicles or shooters approach the range from the entrance

road.

Indoor Range

2. Firearms are limited to rim fire pistols, center fire pistols or air pistols as well as rim fire

rifles and air rifles. No center fire rifle cartridges are permitted.

7. Archers on the range shall immediately “Cease Fire” and “Clear” their bows by remov-

ing bolts or arrows as soon as vehicles or archers approach the range. All archers are

and preferential use and position.
