SHOOTING SPORTS

NEW FIREARM RANGE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES - As indicated in the newsletter, a new version of the Firearm Range Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) and a subset covering just the Range Rules are posted here for your use. They are detailed, and certainly all of that detail will not apply to every shooting session, but the detail is there to be referred to if needed. The level of detail is the result of careful reading and suggestion by a wide cross-section of BISC shooters and NRA guidelines. These SOPs have been approved by the membership and are in effect.  If you have any feedback on these SOP's, send your comments via email to crso@bainbridgesportsmensclub.org or bring them to any board meeting.
