Range Rules

1. Always consider all firearms as loaded.

2. Never point a firearm at something you don’t want to destroy.

3. Keep finger off the trigger until gun is on target and you are ready to fire.

Downrange is defined as the area of the shooting bay between the 180 Degree Plane and the backstop. 180 degree plane is an imaginary infinite vertical plane drawn through the centerline of the individual, perpendicular to the centerline of the shooting bay and that moves with the person handling the firearm as he/she moves about the bay. See Figure 1.
