Paper targets are to be stapled or pinned to cardboard backers. 22' X36" cardboard backers are to be attached to the frame using staples, screws or nails, as needed. Do not shoot "trash" targets. This includes bottles, cans, bowling pins, computer monitors or hard drives; no microwaves, old televisions or radios either

Steel targets may only be used during organized events approved by the CCSA Board. The steel buffalo targets used for Cowboy Action must not be set up due to safety concerns and damage caused by high velocity and jacketed bullets.

The range can be used from 8 a.m. until sundown or 10 p.m., whichever comes first.

The first member to arrive at the range is the Range Officer and should coordinate activities with any other member who arrives. When you leave, request that another member take over.
Please remember, the CCSA does not have any paid staff. All cleaning and upkeep at the range is done by volunteers who pay the same membership dues as everyone else. Shooters are asked to leave the range in better condition than they found it. All trash should be placed in the appropriate receptacle. Bins are labeled as burnable (paper, cardboard), non burnable (metal, plastic and shot shells), and brass (spent casings). throughout the Spring and Summer. Every member should plan to attend at least one work bee per year to help with range improvements and maintenance.

Each member is responsible for following these rules and reminding others to follow them, also.
