The Indoor Range Access Policy was approved at the July 18, 2000 meeting as published in the July issue of The Chariot, the club's newsletter.
1. CONTROL
Access and usage will be monitored through the use of an electronic door control
system that will log start and stop times. The system is based on proximity
readers near the door which are activated by individually coded magnetic key
fobs.
2. ORIENTATION
Members wishing to access the range for individual use must attend an approved
orientation program. This will include some brief background information, safety
information, rules specific to this range, procedures for start-up and
shut-down, maintenance, etc. Dates and times will be posted in the newsletter.
Group leaders of organized activities must also attend the orientation. An
orientation fee will be charged to help offset the costs associated with the
electronic access system. Orientation fee to be set by the Executive Committee.
3. QUALIFICATION
A shooting qualification that allows members of all skill levels to access the
range is required. Members must attain separate qualification ratings for .22
and centerfire with distance ratings of 7, 17, or 25 yards. Shooters will be
required to hit a 22" x 22" blank sheet of paper 10 out of 10 shots
from the distance at which they choose to be qualified. Members may re-qualify
to upgrade their firearm type or distance rating at any time. Qualification will
not apply to individuals participating in organized group activities, however,
group leaders are responsible for controlling participants to assure the
integrity of the facility.
4. MEMBER FEES
Individuals will be charged a flat hourly fee year round. The user fee will be
billed monthly based on data collected from the electronic access control
system. The hourly rate will be broken into minutes or hundredths of an hour for
billing purposes. Members pay the same flat rate regardless of time of year,
whether they bring a guest, or whether they are sharing the range with other
members engaged in similar activities. Members will be billed for time logged
in, less 10 minutes. Likewise, there will be no charge for a member logged in
for less than ten minutes. This is to allow "free" time for proper
clean up, a trip back to the car, restroom, etc. This feature will also allow
time for members to provide a quick tour of the range to prospective members.
Hourly rate to be set by the Executive Committee.
5. GROUPS
Groups will be charged a flat hourly fee year round. Group leaders will be
issued the same type of individually coded magnetic key fob as individual
members. Groups will be billed monthly based on data collected from the
electronic access control system. The hourly rate will broken into minutes or
hundredths of an hour for billing purposes. Groups will adhere to any specific
conditions, limitations, or rules as set forth by the Executive Committee.
6. PAYMENTS
Payments by individuals and groups must be rendered within 30 days of invoice
date. Failure to make timely payments will result in access denial via the
electronic access control system.
7. GUESTS
Guests are welcome when accompanied by an authorized club member. As with the
use of all other club facilities, the member shall be responsible for his/her
guest. Guests shall be limited to the same firearm type and distance ratings as
the accompanying member. Guests shall follow normal sign-in procedures and pay
the daily guest fee.
8. REVIEW
Fees and policy are subject to review and adjustment as deemed necessary by the
Executive Committee. Fees are based on cost of propane, electricity,
maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc. At minimum, fees and costs will be reviewed
by the Executive Committee on an annual basis.
9. LOSS OF PRIVILEGES
Loss of privileges will result for any member or group who does not comply with
the rules and regulations regarding this facility.
