16. Range procedures:

a. Opening the Range: If shooting alone, before you begin you must open the range by yelling out "IS ANYONE DOWN RANGE?" three times and making sure no one is down range. Then announce “The Long Range is Hot”.

b. Red Flags at the 50 and 150 Yard Berms: When going down range to the 200 yard Back Stop, make sure the range is Cold, the Red Lights are turned on and raise the Red Flags behind the 50 and 150 yard berms to let members know you are down range. The Red Flag flying down range at the 50 or 150 yard berms indicates the range is COLD because someone is down range and the firing line must remain COLD.

c. Driving Down Range: Members may drive down range to place targets. To do so the

range must be cold and all shooters on the range must be informed the member is driving down range. Drive on the road on the south end of the range. When going down range, be sure to raise the 50 and 150 yard red flags so others will know you are there. Once down range, raise the red flag behind the 150 yard berm so others will know you are there. When you return, lower the flag, then make sure all shooters know you have returned before making the range HOT. Do not drive on the backstops / berms.

17. Strip targets, pick your brass/shell casings and clean up debris before leaving.

18. Deflection Limiting: Avoid shooting out of safe to the north (toward Norman) or to the south. All loaded firearms must be pointed downrange. All target engagements must be straight ahead, and bullets must impact the back stops. Do not cross fire.
