RO Rules

In addition to the Big Salty Range rules, ROs reserving bays must follow these additional rules.

1. When using the range for practice:
   1. When entering, close the gate behind you to keep out unwanted individuals. We have had issues with this in the past.
   2. Raise the red flag on the telephone pole at the entrance if it is not up already.
   3. When leaving the range, if you are the last person to leave the range please lower the flag and place it in the box and lock the gate. Make sure there are no other people on the range so they don’t get locked in.
2. No parking in bays. No driving in bays when the ground is wet.
3. Respect the Range, Respect Yourself, and Respect Others. If you see something wrong do something about it. Leave things cleaner than you found them.
4. If it cannot be done at a Match, it cannot be done while you are using a bay (e.g. shooting into berm while others shoot downrange, walking behind others with a loaded gun out of the holster or case). Use your head.
5. No handling of firearms when people are forward of the firing line and/or down range. All firearms must have safeties on, and be holstered, bagged, or muzzle up as appropriate.
6. All targets must be placed in a manner so all rounds will impact a berm and not the range floor. Rounds that hit the range floor will skip off and go over the back berm.
7. All shooters are responsible for their rounds staying within the confines of this range. This includes rounds deflected off the range floor or steel targets.
8. Personal steel targets MUST deflect rounds downwards to the range floor.
9. If you muzzle anyone with a firearm (loaded or not), including yourself, you will be asked to leave the range.
10. Exception to maximum caliber rule: Rifle calibers larger than 5.56 mm can be shot by range ROs but the RO must reserve the 100 yard “Scope Registration Bay”.

A violation of any rule will result in a 30-day suspension of Range privileges; subsequent violations will result in the Big Salty Range Board determining the course of action, up to and including permanent ineligibility to shoot at the Range.
