Our Range Safety Rules

Our Range Safety Rules

CVSC strongly enforces the Range Safety Rules for the protection and comfort of all our guests.  Calm, courteous behavior is required, especially when interacting with our staff. Please carefully review our safety requirements before your visit and make certain you understand them. If you do not, ask us for clarification. When on the range, you may observe one or more of our Range Marshals on the facility. They are there to assist and answer questions, and will approach and correct any person who is violating safety rules. We DO NOT TOLERATE rule violations and we do not hesitate to remove persons from the range who intentionally violate or object to our safety rules, or correction by our staff. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, and will most definitely do so when safety rules are violated or when anyone becomes agitated, hostile or verbally agressive toward our staff or other patrons. 

These are the rules. 
Violations will not be tolerated.
Think Gun Safety at all times.
