Rules

General Range Rules apply to the entire Iron County Shooting Range facility to ensure the safety of all visitors and minimize activities that detract from an enjoyable and safe shooting experience for everyone.

Where firearms are concerned, an abundance of safety and neighborly manners are in order. Those that fail to follow safety rules will be removed from the premises.

Any destruction of public property or littering is a criminal offense punishable by fine and/or incarceration. Shooting is not allowed in any other areas of the Three Peaks Recreation Area.

Children brought to the range must be fully supervised at all times. All children should have eye and hearing protection at all times. Young ears are sensitive and permanent hearing damage can occur with the noise of a single shot.

ATV’s and Motorcycles may be used to go downrange to manage targets or as transportation to toilet facilities, but otherwise cannot be used in the area for recreational riding. The range has a 5 mph speed limit to avoid excessive noise and dust.

Everyone’s help is needed to keep the range clean. Trash cans are provided. Please pick up any trash and spent shotgun hulls.

General Rules

General Rules

No exploding targets or incendiary ammunition (tannerite, tracer rounds).

No shooting clay pigeons on the south facing bays.

Direction of fire is always directly down range. Cross range fire is prohibited.

Before going downrange to set or change targets, coordinate with all shooters at the line to establish a cease fire. Honor all cease fires and refrain from handling guns while anyone is downrange.

All guns not in a case should always be pointed down range or straight up and never at anyone along or behind the firing line.

When a cease fire is called, all guns should be made safe by:

  • Semiautomatic guns: Remove the magazine, ensuring the chamber is empty, and lock the slide open.
  • Bolt action guns: Remove the magazine, ensuring the chamber is empty and leave the bolt open.
  • Lever action guns: Ensure the magazine is empty, ensure the chamber is empty, and leave the lever down and action open.
  • Falling block or rolling block guns: Ensure the chamber is empty and leave the action open.
  • Break barrel guns: Verify the chamber is empty and leave the gun clearly broken open.
  • Revolvers: For double action revolvers, verify the cylinder is empty and prop the cylinder open. For single action revolvers, verify all chambers are empty and leave the loading gate open.

Guns should not be handled again until the range is clear and it is safe to fire.

These are standard range rules at all managed shooting events. Develop good safety habits and teach others how to be safe at the range.
