Approved Targets – Rocks are not.

Hello Gang,

Just a quick reminder to use approved targets only within ALL the Longest Mile’s ranges.

Rocks, be they painted or not, are most definitely NOT an approved target.

Some cleanup today at the range found some remnants of exactly this. Ricochets are horribly unpredictable. It’s all of our duty and obligation to take every unknown variable out of the equation to help ensure the safety of everyone.

As a reminder on approved targets, please review this section of the Range Safety Rules:

Section 3: Range Operations – Targets

Only paper targets or those reactive metal targets supplied by or approved by the club are to be used on these ranges. Glass bottles, plastic bottles/jugs, cans of any kind, golf balls, shotgun shells etc. ARE NOT APPROVED TARGETS. DO NOT HANG TARGETS FROM THE POSTS.

Consider ROCKS added to the prohibited target list.

Thanks,
The EFGA
