Range Rules
    


Considerable time is spent up keeping all the target boards at the 100, 50, 35 and 25 yard ranges. It is up to all of us to maintain the range, shoot at the targets as intended and show some pride in keeping up our facility.

Every member is responsible for policing our property and upholding safety rules.  All of us are responsible for asking others for their ID cards if they are not visible or addressing any safety violations.  If you feel uncomfortable addressing the issue, call Jack, call a board member, get the license plate number and descriptions.  Provide the information to the board so violations can be addressed.  "Thank You" for your support, PFGC Board of Directors.

Updated DRAFT Set of Range Rules (PDF file) - This updated draft of the range rules was reviewed by the Board and going to be presented to the members at the April 6th Membership meeting.  Please review and submit your ideas to the PFGCBoard@pfgc.org.

Initial DRAFT Set of Range Rules (PDF file) - Here is a DRAFT set of range rules.  Please review and submit your ideas to the PFGCBoard@pfgc.org.  At the February board meeting we will be gathering input and making updates.

New Member Reminder - Upon completion of the orientation, all new members must sign a copy of the range rules acknowledging that they understand them and will obey them.


Mandatory - Wear Your ID Cards

NO badge, NO use  -  PFGC is increasing compliance for wearing your ID card while on the Bedford property.  People not wearing their badges will be asked to come to the next board meeting and explain why they were not wearing their badge.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the board @ PFGCBoard@pfgc.org 

If you see a person not wearing a badge, please ask them to see their badge.  If they can not show you their badge, please ask them to leave.  If you do not feel comfortable asking them to leave, please contact any of the board members with the persons name and vehicle information.

For the past year, there has been many communications at the membership meetings, on this web site and board meetings stating members must wear your ID card so it can be seen while on the property. 

The membership badges are expensive and we are fortunate to have quality plastic badges that we have.  The setup and production of the badges is not an easy task.  Getting replacements will not be simple.  Please take care of them.

New members who have not completed field orientation are not allowed to use the field without a full member present

Note - Local law authorities do have permission to come onto the property and investigate activity.  They will be asking for your PFGC ID card.

No Moving of Targets

NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO MOVE THE TARGETS.  If you see someone moving the targets forward from their stands or shooting at targets not in the target stand location, please ask the shooters to stop.  If you are uncomfortable asking the person to stop, call a board member, get a license plate number and get that information to the PFGCBoard@pfgc.org  Violators will be contacted by the board and their privileges revoked.  Violators will not be allowed to use the range until they come to the next board meeting and explain why they did what they did.

The club went through a huge effort to set up the safety barriers and provide for safe shooting.  By moving the targets forward or shooting at targets not located in the target area, you are creating an unsafe condition.  All it takes is one incident and WE WILL ALL LOOSE our opportunity to use the range.

Shooting Time

At the October 2010 Board meeting, the Board discussed the range shooting hours as 8:30am to Sunset.  These hours will be announced at the membership meetings, posted on the range rule signs which are in the process of being written/created and posted on the web site.  Anyone found violating the shooting times will be asked to come in front of the board and explain.

Note - Local law authorities do have permission to come onto the property and investigate activity.  They will be asking for your PFGC ID card.

Reporting of Violations

Per our President and Board of Directors, any member is authorized to stop volitions in progress.  If you see someone breaking the range rules, please ask them to stop.  Get their name.  If they are not wearing their card in plain site, ask them for their card and to wear their card in plain site.  Contact a board member, get the license plate number.  These are your responsibilities as members of the club.

Mud Locks

For those who may not know what this means, each spring we put additional padlocks on the gates to prevent access until road conditions improve.  When the board determines it is safe, the additional padlocks will be removed.  If you have any questions, please contact the board. 

Trap Range

TRAP IS BACK @ PFGC!!!!!

The trap machines are up and operational on the 100 yard range.  Read the Trap Information Page for 2011.

To learn how to operate and use the Trap machines, please contact Ken Geddes

WARNING - We love our trap houses and so do the hornets.  Please be careful when removing the tarp from station #3 or when opening up stations #1 & #2.  If you are allergic to hornet stings, please have the appropriate medicines and use caution.
