Texas Gun Club Range Rules

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whenever handling a firearm, always follow the S.A.F.E. principles. Keep it simple, keep it safe!

SAFE DIRECTION

Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Never point it at yourself, a body part or anyone or anything that you are not willing to destroy.

ALWAYS LOADED

Always treat firearms as if they are loaded. Only you can declare a firearm safe. Never assume it is unloaded. Do a physical and visual check.

FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER

Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

ENVIRONMENT

Know your target and beyond. Pay attention to your surroundings. You are responsible for your bullets.
