General Rules

It is your responsbility to read these rules and the more detailed regulations of the club, located in the Main Clubhouse. It is also your responsibility to challenge any member or guest who may have inadvertently forgot a safety regulation or may just need an attitude adjustment on club rules.

If, however, an immediate confrontation does not solve a rule or safety infractgion, report the situation and individual's identity to a club officer as soon as possible. Disciplinary action, if needed, will be assessed at the next monthly meeting.

As a member of the SSC, I acknowledge there is a safety risk in the use of firearms.

Dispose of all litter properly, or take it back with you. This includes but is not limited to shell casings, cartridge boxes, used targets, etc.

Camping and campfires are permissible in the pond area only.

Children are welcome at this club, but all persons under the age of 12 must be under the direct supervision of a guardian.

As SSC is not a public or free shooting facility it must be gated. It is therefore the responsibility of the member who is the last to vacate to lock the gate. Vandalism and constant use by non-members costs us all. Please help get a grip on this problem.

No alcohol is allowed on any of the club's ranges. You may not shoot on any range if you have consumed alcohol or any controlled substance.

Skeet and Trap Rules

You may sign up on one trap or skeet sheet at a time. No multiple sign ups, sign up for additional shooting rounds only after completing your previous round.

Pay for your trap or skeet round in advance.

Eye and ear protection are mandatory.

A trap or skeet squad shall be 5 or less, except if there are no other people waiting to shoot.

Practice gun safety, load only when it is your turn and you are on the pad. Also make sure your gun is open with empty hulls removed before leaving the pad.

The last squad of the day normally closes down each field by filling and tripping each trap and shutting off power from within the clubhouse.

Rifle and Handgun Range Rules

Always treat your gun as if it is loaded and point the muzzle in a safe direction.

Before anyone goes down range determine that all cartridges are removed, actions are open and all hands are clear of their firearms.

No firearms are to be handled when there are personnel down range.

Eye and ear protection are mandatory and make sure other shooters are aware of the upcoming situation by announcing, Eyes and Ears Range is Going Hot!

Obey all range commands immediately.

Targets are meant to be Steel, Clay, Cardboard, or Paper. Anything else is a violation of range rules. At no time shall cans and glass be used as targets.

Attach targets to target backing material only, Do not attach targets to framework. Targets shall be attached inside of the prepared framework, and all shots shall miss and preserve said framework. If the target carriers or backboards are deteriorated to the point of necessary replacement, your assistance at a work bee will be greatly appreciated.

Handgun matches are a special time at the club in that the club building and grounds will be run as a cold range with the rifle range closed to normal activity. There will be a Match Director in charge of this day's activity capable of answering any questions.

Cold range definition: A range that does not allow loaded firearms in the holster or anywhere except while on the firing line and under the supervision of a Match SO (Safety Officer).

Unloaded firearms, however, (with no ammunition present) may be handled in a designated safe area.

Pond Area

Fishing is catch and release only, except for Sunfish and Bullheads.

No motors allowed. Canoes or small boats are permissible.
