risk and accepts all liabilities associated with that use.
-
The Cape Cod Fish and Game Association shall supply no boats for use

The following Range Rules were adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Cape Cod Fish & Game Association
Range Rules
- Safe firearms practices must be followed at
all time.
- Persons using the ranges, do so at their
own risk
- Loaded weapons must be pointed down range
at all times.
- Persons using the ranges must comply with all
State and Federal regulations.
- All weapons on the firing line are to be
unloaded if people are downrange setting targets.
- Firing on the ranges is to be done in a
manner that will land the bullet in the bullet traps. – no
exceptions. No Ground shooting.
- There will be no firing into the banks or
berms
- There will be no firing at wooden target
supports or wooden bollards at the bullet traps.
- Shotguns are not be used on the pistol
range. Shotguns are not to be used to blow large holes in the
homosote backboards. Pattern your shotgun on the trap range.
Blowing the homosote target backboards apart does nothing more than
increase the cost of our operation.
- There will be no fully automatic weapons
use on any range, by anyone, at any time, unless specifically
authorized by the Board of Directors, prior to the use, and then
only if a range officer is present.
- There will be no shotgun or rifle (larger
than 22 caliber) use on the pistol range.
- There will be no 50 caliber (or larger)
rifles used anywhere on the property at any time, except black
powder rifles may be used on the rifle range only.
- Members are responsible for the actions of
their invited guests.
- If you use the ranges, it is expected that you
will clean-up after yourself---this means pick up your targets,
trash and brass and dispose of properly in the dumpster or brass
barrel.
- Anyone that observes unsafe practices, or
malicious damage being done on the range should report it to the
Board.
- Members and their invited guests that do
not follow range rules and demonstrate proper gun safety, will be
expelled from the club.
We, the members of the Board, believe that these
rules should be very clear. If there is any confusion, at all, please
feel free to ask any Board member for a clarification. We will not
tolerate abuse of the range or unsafe acts on the range.
Your cooperation will be appreciated.
