Range Rules
SILVERDALE GUN CLUB RANGE ORIENTATION AND RULES:
As a member, you agree to and are responsible for following all Silverdale Gun Club Range Safety Rules at all times when using Silverdale Gun Club facilities.
GENERAL:
1. Gate Sign-In: All members must sign in at the gate, regardless of whether it’s open, for insurance purposes.
2. Guest Registration: Guests must be registered at the front office or with the Range Safety Officer (RSO) before or after office hours. Members are permitted to bring 2 licensed guests or 1 licensed and 1 unlicensed guest per day. No exceptions unless a range officer is booked to help supervise.
3. Safety Gear: Ear and eyewear are mandatory on the firing line. Sandals, open-toed shoes, or flip-flops are not allowed.
4. Firearm Safety: Never pass a loaded firearm. Members bringing guests should teach them firearm safety. Firearms should not be left unattended or with unlicensed individuals. Firearms must be in a soft or hard case upon arrival! Gun socks are not permitted.
5. Cellphone and Camera Use: No use of cellphones or cameras while shooting or supervising a guest. Please review pictures and videos before posting on social media. Tag us @silverdalegunclub!
6. Wildlife: Shooting at wildlife on the range is prohibited in any capacity.
7. Property Damage: Property damage will result in a $50 charge per hole in baffles, bunkers, posts, or other integral structures.
8. Cleanliness: Members and guests are responsible for cleaning up spent shells, garbage, etc. Cleaning supplies are available at every range.
9. Smoking: No smoking at the benches under coverings. Smoking should be done away from the range.
10. Speed Limit: Driving on the property, especially the laneway, at speeds exceeding 15 km/h is considered an infraction, resulting in a written warning.
11. Member Responsibility: Members are fully responsible for their guests’ behaviour and conduct at all times.
12. Trigger Locks: Trigger locks are used to prevent fingers from entering the trigger guard, not to make the gun safe. (a gun with a trigger lock on is never considered safe)
13. Shotgun Use: Shotguns must be shouldered at all times; pistol grip shotguns are not permitted. If a firearm has a stock and a pistol grip, that is acceptable as it can be shouldered.
14. Pets: Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them. There is a pet station across from Range #2.
ZERO TOLERANCE:
- Muzzle direction other than downrange or straight up.
- Sweeping others with your firearm or pointing a firearm at someone
- Allowing an unlicensed guest to shoot or handle a firearm unsupervised.
- Passing a loaded firearm to another person, including a guest.
- Leaving a loaded firearm unattended in any location, including on the benches.
- Handling an uncased firearm, magazines, ammunition, or attempting to shoot on a green flag.
- Leaving the firing line to go downrange on a red flag.
- Abusive, argumentative, or disrespectful behavior directed towards any range officer, staff, member, or Silverdale guest.
Breach of any of the above could result in your immediate removal from Silverdale property, plus possible further action such as termination or membership.
