Chabot Gun Club's public lines have restrictions on firearms, shooting and behavior that are strictly enforced.
Alcohol is not allowed on the Range. Those who are "under the
influence" are not allowed to shoot.
Hearing and Eye protection are required for all shooters and anyone forward of the Red
Safety Line.
No shoes, no shirt: no shooting. Wear appropriate clothing. Loose fitting clothes or outfits with large openings may trap hot cases from a nearby shooter. This can cause pain and affect your marksmanship.
No holsters (with or without a gun in them) may be worn on the public
lines. Magazine pouches are OK.
Really large centerfire caliber's like the .50 BMG and other such long range
rifles are permitted only on Mondays
after 1 PM. Their use is also dependant on crowding and other factors, such as
holidays. Other nearby shooters must be warned prior to each shot. If, in the the
opinion of the Range staff, any firearm is unsuitable for any particular range
at any particular time, its use may be prohibited. Call in advance,
please.
We are thinking about adding restrictions on the .500 S&W's and other really large caliber handguns because of the noise and muzzle blast. Be considerate and we won't have to.
No Rapid Fire. You must wait full 1 second between shots.
No Shotguns without full shoulder stocks. No shooting without using the sights.
Shotguns used on Range 1 & 2 must use "slugs" only, except at the special
patterning bench at position 53.
No rifles allowed on Range 3.
No un-aimed shooting. (Shooting from the hip, over the head, etc.) No shooting
without sights.
No shooting without a target. Targets are supplied or approved by us
or ar not permitted
Minimum age to shoot is 8 for rifles and shotguns and 12 for handguns.
No dogs allowed out of vehicles on Club property. There are parking and walking places outside our property. We like dogs. We like to keep them safe. We do not like having to clean our shoes.
SKS rifles are limited to only 2 rounds in the firearm at a time. This applies to all types of SKS rifles, regardless of improvements or modifications. This does not apply to any other firearm.
Muzzle control is strictly enforced. If a firearm is not in a case, it must be carried muzzle up, with the action open at all times. Keep your fingers outside the trigger guards.
Casing and uncasing of firearms must be done at the shooting benches with muzzles (the pointy end) pointed downrange (toward the targets)!
No arguing with the Range staff. If you don't understand something, please come up to the office and nicely explain what you are trying to do. We are here to help you and may have a way for you to do what you want or you may just have to adjust the way you do things to our system. Hassling the staff, however, just gets you the opportunity to explain yourself to the nice people in the white cars with the red & blue lights. They are great friends of the range and come very quickly when we call.
Management reserves the right to refuse admission, control occupancy or remove anyone whose conduct is deemed by management to be disorderly or who fails to comply with any safety regulation.
