REMINDERS

• Applicants on the wait list must inform the Membership Chair at nsrg.membership@gmail.com of any changes to their contact information including telephone number, email address, and home address.  Otherwise we will be unable to contact you when a membership becomes available.

• REMEMBER you must display your club membership ID card on your person.  This will help us insure that only authorized people are using our facility. Members are starting to forget this requirement.

• IMPORTANT note to Trap Shooters - The clays must be thrown from the club trap, shot from the correct positions on the shooting pads and only during an organized shoot.  Individual or informal shot gun shooting is not permitted, nor is the use of any other trap. When shooting trap the largest shot size allowed is 7½ shot.

• DO NOT access the target tunnel while shooting is in progress!

• PLEASE REMEMBER to close and lock the gate and the club house and insure that all the lights are turned off if you are the last member to leave the range.

• ALWAYS CHECK the NSRG Range Schedule Calendar for up-to-date information on range availability.

• If you are a club member be sure to log in and check the members area for more news and updates.

• Please note - NSRG does not have day passes for drop-in shooters.  Only club members and their guests are allowed to use the facility.

• Please remember that there is a 20 KPH speed limit on the range road to keep dust down, prevent accidents with vehicles and wildlife, and reduce road erosion.

• Air gun shooters:  Only wad cutter style lead pellets or BBs with a maximum weight of 15 grains are allowed in the interior air gun range.  Muzzle velocity is also restricted to a maximum of 550 ft/sec (165 m/sec).  Other projectiles and air guns exceeding this muzzle velocity are to be used on the outside bays.
