Range
Facilities
Range House
The
Range House is located at 1649 East, 650 North, Kaysville Utah. The WSA phone
number is (801) 544-9920.
Shooting Bays are numbered 1-9, north to south. Ranges 1A & 1B are the two most northern
bays and are used primarily for law enforcement, Hunter Safety Training and
match use. Ranges 2 and 3 are for public
shooting. Ranges 4-9 are used for match events.
The general public is not authorized to shoot in these bays, except for
scheduled events with an RO or Match Director present. Range Officers are authorized to use any bays
at any time after checking in with the on duty RO, and signing the personal use
log and the range computer located in the Range House.
Parking: All
customers are to park their vehicles in the Public Parking Lot. Customers may
drive their vehicles to the public range to unload and load their equipment
then move their vehicles in the public parking area. Parking in Bays 1A and B is reserved for on
duty ROs, Handicapped, match participants during match events and Hunter Safety
Training only.
For safety purposes it is critical that the roadway in
front of the public range remain un-obstructed for emergency vehicles in the
event of an accident. On duty range officers may park on any
part of the public range. On Duty RO’s may park between the range house
and bay 3, or by 1A and 1B. RO’s supervising match events may park next to the
bay they are supervising as long as it does not interfere with safety or
emergency vehicle access.
Public Restrooms are located in Bay 1B, North West corner
of the main parking lot, and by bay 6. For servicing, call 801-825-1154.
The Flag Pole is located north-west corner of the parking
lot.
The Red Range Flag is used to notify the public that the
range is active and firearms are in use.
The red flag is located in the mail box adjacent to the flag pole.
Target Stands are expensive. Do not let people intentionally shoot the
frames. When not in use, please lay them prone with the feet facing the
shooting benches.
First
Aid Supplies are located in the range house on the west wall and in the right
hand desk drawers.
The Change Drawer and Safe Cabinet are located on the
north wall by the door. Please place bills
larger than $20.00, checks, and membership applications in the slot at the top
of the safe. When not making change, the cash drawer must remain locked at all
times. In order to be able to make change for $100, keep a few $20’s in the
cashbox until the end of shift, and then drop them into the safe.
Cameras are installed to enhance range safety and
security; the monitor is located on the west wall desk. The on duty RO now has
the ability to monitor activities in the public parking lot, southern part of
the range to include the main gate, bays 1A and B and in the range house to
observe the cash drawer and safe. All monitored activities are recorded.
Personal Lockers on the south wall are free for Range
Officers use, first come, first serve. Please label your locker with your name.
Sandbags and Stands are located on the east wall table
and are available for public use. Be sure they are returned to the range house
at the end of the day.
Staple guns and staples are located at the two stapling
tables, be sure the staple guns are loaded and placed in the stapling tables at
the start of the shift. Additional staples are located in the range house desk
cabinet. The cabinet key in kept in the cash drawer. When the supply of staples
run low, contact the WSA Vice President. Staple guns will be returned to the
range house at the end of the day.
Cardboard Target Backers are maintained in the rack
behind the door. Place non-useable
backers in the recycle bin. Additional
backers are located in the storage room.
Have shooters strip off all targets upon return. Paper Targets each
non-member is entitled to one free target.
The posted rate for additional targets is .25 cents each.
Members are allowed as many targets as needed, within
reason, while at the range. When paper targets or cardboard backers runs low
contact the vice president for re-supply.
Brooms, Dust Pans and the Shop Vacuums should be used as
often as possible to mitigate the safety hazard of expended brass lying on the
ground; encourage shooters to police up their brass. The range is to be swept
of brass and trash at the end of the day.
Sweep out the range house as needed.
Brass buckets for expended brass are located behind the
benches. Dispose of live ammo in the cans so marked.
Eye and Hearing Protection is available on loan for all
shooters; ensure they are returned. Eye
Protection is MANDATORY for all
personnel while the range is active. Eye
protection can be prescription glasses, sunglasses, or safety glasses. Hearing
Protection is strongly recommended. Foam
ear plugs are available for sale in the range house at the posted price.
Spotting Scopes are for public shooter’s use. Upon
customer request the RO will take the scope to the shooting bench and lock it
in place. Be sure they are returned in good working condition. At the end of
the duty day all scopes are to be locked up in the storage room.
The Storage Room contains extra paper targets, cardboard
backers, lawn equipment, etc. and a refrigerator for RO use only. Be sure to
keep this room locked at all time.
The Filing Cabinet contains WSA required documents for
range operations. Familiarize yourself
with these documents. A copy The Davis
County Use Agreement may be obtained upon request.

“Here for Fun” button or the “Special Activity” button. If you click on the
“Here for Fun” button, the same dialog box comes up as if you were just a
regular member. If you check the “Special Activity” button, continue through
the usual check-in process. You will need to check out when you have completed
the special activity.

please ask for assistance or contact a board member.
Closing
Inform the shooters about 30 minutes prior to closing
time. Begin range clean-up. Sweep the
range of brass and debris.
Empty all trash barrels into the dumpster. Remove
cardboard backers from the stands at the end of the day. Sweep out the Range
House. Put all rests, sandbags, brass

arms may not be drawn and fired from the holster while on the public range.
RO/Match
Director Identifiers
The Range Officer(s) in charge of any bay must wear the
CURRENT WSA RO HAT (or one that meets the criteria), or the RO vest, this identifies
you as the On-duty RO Please do not wear the hat on the public range when you
are not on duty. You are encouraged however to keep you RO hat in your vehicle
should you be recruited to help out if the on duty RO requires assistants.
Range Officers supervising a match event must wear the WSA RO hat or one that
meets the criteria below.
RO Hat Criteria:
Color: RED. It must have WSA RANGE OFFICER and the RO’s first name
facing to the front. This is to be stitched in BLACK lettering. A free Ro hat
will be issued to you from the WSA board. If you would like a different style,
you must finance it yourself.
Temporary
RO’s
Temporary RO’s are individuals certified by the TSO to
use the WSA range to conduct classes such as the Department of Wildlife
Recourses (DWR) Hunter safety Instructors teaching the Utah Hunter’s Safety
Official Course or other instructors
with temporary RO status involved in any community outreach programs may use
the WSA facilities at no cost to the instructor or students. Temporary
RO status is effective only for the days and in bays the class is being
held. Instructors must schedule their
events at least two weeks in advance with the X.O. A Temporary RO listing is
posted on the bulletin Board. Their scheduled times and bays are posted on the
WSA web site under Calendar/Events on the Home Page.
Instructors will ensure their scheduled bay is cleaned
and trash containers emptied before leaving the range.
Certified Hunter Safety instructors and professional
firearms instructors can obtain Temporary Range Officer Status, by contacting the
WSA Training & Safety Officer to receive required training. They must
adhere to all of WSA safety requirements.
Classes will be held only during normal public operating hours. Instructors with temporary RO status do not
have range keys
Leaving
the Range Unattended
RO’s will never leave the range unattended. If you must
leave for any reason, i.e. restroom break, and you are supervising the range by
yourself, call a cease fire and enlist the help of a responsible person to
ensure nobody handles firearms while you are gone. Firearms must not be discharged without a
Range Officer present.
Target
Stand Locations
Target stand locations are numbered to match the numbers
painted on the bench seat and in front of the benches. Shooting is not allowed
outside of the confines of the bay or over the dirt berm surrounding the bays.
Metal target frames will not be closer than twelve yards from the firing line
to prevent possible ricochets hitting shooters. Any targets frames closer than 12 yards must be non-metallic. The “Old Style” target stands have a front and
back, be sure the open side of the angle iron is NOT facing the firing line. Please have patrons refrain from placing
targets directly on the concrete pathways unless in a stand.
Customer
Sign-in
All customers using the public range must fill out the
“sign in sheet” before shooting including family members. If the customer is a
member, the RO will scan the membership card to determine if they are a current
member. Have the customer fill out the sign-in sheet legibly to include the
time and their WSA membership number or annotate the $7.00 user fee. Matches
directors will use their individual match sign-in sheets.
Cash
Control
Place bills larger than $20 along with checks in the
safe. Keep only enough cash in the
drawer to make change, maintain at least $50.00. When not making change, the
cash drawer must remain locked at all times.
Calling
a "CEASE FIRE"
The
time between a cease fires is up to the RO. You may use the timer located in the cash drawer,
set the time to about 15 or 20 minutes between strings, or if the line is not
too busy permit the customers to set the pace.
Go with the flow of the
shooters. Give shooters at least
a two minute warning before calling a cease fire so they are not caught with
full magazines or in the middle of loading a muzzle loader.
A PA system is available for when the range is
crowded. Call "CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIRE! CLEAR AND
GROUND ALL FIREARMS, ENSURE THE ACTIONS ARE OPEN, AND
STEP BEHIND THE WHITE LINE”.
When all shooters
are behind the white line, you will personally inspect all uncased weapons on
the firing line. All firearms must be
pointed downrange, with actions open. Chambers and attached box magazines must
be empty. If an autoloader does not have
a provision to lock the action open, use spent rifle brass or equivalent to
keep it open. Single action revolvers
are considered safe when the cylinder is empty and the loading gate is open. If the firearm is not in this condition, call
the owner to the line and have them clear it. Do not handle other’s firearms
without permission.
When all firearms have been inspected, verify this with
any other Ro’s on the line with either a “thumbs up” for all clear or “palm
facing the caller” signifying a STOP. If any question arises, verbal
communication is always best.
Call "THE RANGE IS SAFE, YOU MAY GO DOWN
RANGE AND CHECK YOUR TARGETS. “WHEN YOU
RETURN, PLEASE REMAIN BEHIND THE WHITE LINE and DO NOT HANDLE ANY FIREARMS
DURING A CEASE FIRE”. Keep a
close watch on the firing line to ensure all shooter comply with your commands.
Do not allow anyone to handle firearms during a CEASE FIRE. This also includes Range Officers!!!
When you are certain that everyone has returned from
downrange, verify this with the other RO’s both by hand signal and verbal, then
call "THE
RANGE IS CLEAR, YOU MAY HANDLE YOUR FIREARMS AND FIRE WHEN READY".
When the shooters return to the benches, ensure that
everyone has their eye protection in place.
Keep an eye on the trail above the range. Frequently, people walk or ride on this
trail, when you see people on the trail, call a cease-fire until they are clear. If the people on the trail will not move, do
not be inflammatory, use the bullhorn and inform them that they are to move
because they are in danger. If they will
not move, call the Sheriff’s office for assistance.
Executive
Officer (XO)
The WSA Executive Officer (XO) is charged with the care and
regulation of all Range Officers and Public Range scheduling. If you have a question or a problem, contact
him. On issues regarding Range Officer service, he is the final authority. His contact information is in this handbook
and on the WSA website. Any disputes
between Range Officers are to be settled by the Executive Officer or TSO.
Contact them immediately. Until then, the senior RO will prevail. (Seniority
goes by lowest member number)
Firearm
or Ammunition Failure on the Firing Line
Shooters will occasionally have problems such as
hang-fires, misfires, or a jammed firearm.
If you are not a professional gunsmith, DON’T TRY TO BE. If you are, remember that your job at the
moment is supervising ALL the shooters at your range. Shooters will inevitably try to fix gun or
ammo failures at their bench. Be alert
to the obvious potential dangers from bench top gun-smiting. If a malfunction prevents a firearm from
being made safe as described above, and the shooter cannot readily correct the
situation, you may offer help only if you have the knowledge and experience,
and it doesn’t unduly divert your attention from the safe operation of the
range. If the gun cannot readily be made
safe, and interferes with the cease fire cycle, have the shooter CAREFULLY
remove it from the range with the muzzle pointed up. A visit to a gunsmith is
recommended.
Range
Safety
Every Range Officer is responsible for the ABSOLUTE SAFE
operation of the range. YOU
are the ONLY AUTHORITY on questions of SAFETY. Do no flaunt this authority. However, if the need arises, do not hesitate
to use it. Be sure of yourself, be firm,
never lose control of your temper, and never be indecisive. Never use force or
the threat thereof. NEVER allow firearms
to be pointed in any direction but downrange, and always completely clear the
range before allowing anyone back to the firing line. If you ever feel
overwhelmed, call a cease-fire and ask all shooters to clear and ground their
firearms while you take time to get the range organized again. It is better to have some disgruntled
shooters than an accident. Always be
aware of new shooters and their lack of knowledge in safely handling firearms.
Unruly
Shooters
SAFETY is the number one concern. If a person becomes unruly, ask them to
leave. If they refuse, call a
cease-fire, and then call the Sheriff’s Department for assistance. Do not argue or escalate the situation. If
the unruly shooter is an RO, call the XO in addition to the steps above.
Shotguns
on the Range
Shotguns may be fired at the public range using shot,
slugs, or any other reasonable round (bean bag, rubber buckshot,). If someone
has an “exotic” round like OC, flashbang, or similar round, use discretion as
it may adversely affect other shooters. The use of thrown clay pigeons or other
aerial targets must be limited to Bay 1A only where they won’t interfere with
other shooters. This must be a judgment
made by the On Duty Range Officer.
Class
3 firearms
A
class 3 firearm may be a fully automatic, silenced, short barreled, or
specialty firearm restricted to authorized or specifically licensed persons.
Only the BAFT may request to view papers on a class 3
firearm. Range Officers are not allowed
to request or review BATF documents. If space is available, you may wish to
isolate the shooter to an area of the firing line away from other customers due
to the possible hazards of flying brass.
All range safety rules apply.
Range
Officers Shooting While on Duty
Range
officers may not shoot any firearms while acting as the safety officer on any
bay. (Unless you are shooting alone) When participating in an event, the acting
RO my shoot as long as there is another designated as RO watching safety.
·
Example: If you are one of several RO’s on
the bay and there is adequate coverage, with the other RO’s consent, you may
remove and stow your RO identifier and shoot as if a “general public” member.
When the range conditions change to where you are needed to as an RO, stop
shooting, stow your gear, replace your RO identifier, and resume your shift.
Unauthorized
Shooting
Firearms will not be used in any bay at any time without
the presents of a clearly identified Range Officer this includes Law
Enforcement personnel. Exceptions are
approved scheduled training events with an authorized instructor. DO NOT allow
individuals who are not qualified range officers to shoot unattended in any
bay. Range Officers will NOT loan their keys to anyone who is not a Range
Officer. Anyone doing so will immediately lose RO status and keys.
Matches/Clubs/Hunter
Ed/ etc.
All outside clubs and matches must have an appropriate
number of WSA approved range officers present and engaged at all times while
firearms are in use. Safety plans and any insurances must be approved and on
file with the WSA TSO.
Unique
Activities
Law enforcement training days (Mon. through Thurs.) are
allotted to the Sheriff’s Department. Law Enforcement (LE) training is
conducted under the supervision of the department’s Training Officer (TO) only.
Other law enforcement agencies will schedule their range time through the Davis
County Sheriff’s Office. During public hours, LE personnel will sign in and use
the public range only, they will not shoot in any bay by themselves unless
accompanied their department TO or a WSA RO. If an LE officer protests, contact the Davis County Sheriff’s
Office, WSA XO or TSO. Instructors of Concealed Carry, NRA Personal Protection,
etc. classes are welcome to use the range facility for their classes as long as
they have prior approval and scheduled with the Executive Officer, Instructors
or students may pay the range fees to the on duty RO or to the WSA Treasurer
directly.
Boy Scout groups will schedule through the Executive
Officer, the X.O. will provide an RO for the event. Scout groups must have a
“Tour Plan” issued by the BSA Council Office, are wearing a portion of a Scout
uniform and have a ratio of one adult Scout Supervisor to every four Scouts.
Boy Scout groups shoot for free. If a Scout troop show up at the public range
unscheduled, it is at the discretion of the on-duty RO to allow them to use the
public range or any other open bay only if there is a RO to supervise them, or
he may turn them away if there isn’t
enough room or an available RO. Other
Organized Youth Groups (Church, 4-H, Demo lay, Rotary, Etc.) are welcome to use
the range facility. Range use must be
scheduled through the Executive Officer. The X.O. will schedule an RO for the
event. Any group that just shows up at the public range unscheduled may be
turned away by the duty RO if there isn’t enough room or ROs to safely
supervise the group. Youths 16 years of age and under, when accompanied by an
adult may shoot for free. We require that all of the using groups follow their
own organizational guidelines and have a ratio of one adult supervisor to four
youths who are shooting.
Accidents
on the Range
If an accident should occur that prevents you from
performing your primary RO duties, Call a Cease Fire and Make the Range Safe.
Call 911 if required. Request what
assistance you may need to keep the accident victim calm, render first aid
procedures within your ability. Have all
available personnel clear BAY 2 of target stands and debris. Once the situation
is under control, get the names and phone numbers of all involved parties and
any witnesses. Fill out an Accident
Report Form and get as many Witness Reports as possible. Forms are available in the filing
cabinet. Report the incident to the TSO or
XO.

target. Any individual under the age of
16, accompanied by a parent or an adult, can shoot for free. Please encourage
non-members to join WSA. Per our User Agreement, Commissioned peace officers from
any department or agency (local, Tribal, Federal, or State) and their immediate
family shoot for free on the public range only, this includes all Davis County
Sheriff’s Department Personnel and Davis County Employees with appropriate ID.
A badge/shield is NOT ID. They must have an employee ID card from the
jurisdiction they represent. This courtesy may also be extended to those
persons that fall under Utah Code 53-5-711. These persons will present an
identification card issued by BCI similar to a Utah CFP card, but with a GREEN
STRIPE across the top. This applies to the public range only. Exempted person

Section 6
Range
Officer Training Requirements
All Range Officers and candidates are required to be an
active member of the Wahsatch Shooters Association. Regardless of any other training or
certifications a candidate may have they must complete the WSA RO training
program. This training program has been designed by the WSA Training &
Safety Officer (TSO) and approved by the WSA Executive Committee.
Candidates will first make contact with the TSO, and then
be given an RO training packet that contains this handbook, a range command
card, RO training checklist, and copies of range operation forms. Trainees will
review the training requirements then receive an introduction interview from
the TSO, and then serve a minimum of two, four hour training sessions on the
public range under the supervision of an On Duty Range Officer. This can be any four hour period the range is
open to the public. During this time
trainees will receive instruction in the opening and closing of the range,
sign-up procedures and range operations. At the completion of the training
secession, the on duty RO and trainee will annotate the Range Officer Training
Form.
After completion, the trainee will attend an Executive
Committee meeting, held on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 P.M. The RO
candidate will check the WSA web site calendar for meeting location. With the
approval of the Committee, candidate will be appointed has a Range Officer, receive
range keys and an RO hat.
Section 7
Range
Officer Personal Use
Range Officers may use the range for personal use on
public days ONLY if the public bay is adequately manned with at least two (2)
RO’s. If not, the “off duty” RO may choose to be recruited to the public bay or
leave the range immediately.
Range Officers are authorized to shoot in any of the
range bays any day of the week between the hours of 9am to 9pm or dusk. ROs
will clean the bay of brass and trash when finished shooting. Be sure to
annotate the personal use log and sign in on the computer. The following
limitations apply: You are not to interfere with scheduled matches, classes, or
law enforcement activities. Scheduled events take precedence over personal use.
Pursuant
to our Use Agreement, there will be absolutely no firearms use between the
hours of 9pm and 9am.
Sunday shooting for the general public is restricted to the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 4
p.m. The only exceptions are an
occasional special event, such as a Sat-Sun two-day competition.
When using any bay for personal use, you are the duty RO
for that bay, and the current Range Officer Hat criteria must be displayed so
other ROs and/or Law enforcement personnel know you are authorized to be
there. Conversely, any time you
encounter a bay being used by someone who is not clearly identified as an RO,
you are required to check the situation.
If you bring friends you must have them sign the public use log as if
you are running the range on a public use day.
Make a note on the page that it’s private shooting. All range safety
rules apply during personal use. Any time firearms are in use the Range Flag
MUST be Displayed and the Sheriff’s office notified. Call the Sheriff before
and after shooting.
If
you do not intend to supervise the public range, and the range is not scheduled
to be open to the public, you must close both gates. But if you are shooting at a time when the
range is scheduled to be open, and you are the only Range Officer present, you
are required to run the Public Range for that regular shift. You CANNOT lock
out the public and engage in private shooting during public access hours. Never leave the gate open when the range is
not scheduled to be open to the public.
The Davis County/WSA Use Agreement states that range
officers may personally use the range during days reserved for police training
(Mon-Thurs, 9am-5pm), on a non-interference basis, check in with the On-Duty
Law Enforcement Training Officer and use only an unoccupied bay.
Section 8
Range
Officer Service Requirements
Range Officer Duty shifts are Friday and Saturday 9 am to
1 pm and 1 pm to 5 pm, Sunday 11 am to 4 pm. During summer hours a 3rdshift is
added, 5 pm to Dusk. Range Officers can
sign up for shifts at the WSA website, www.wahsatchshooters.com or by calling
the XO. The schedule calendar is posted on the Home Page. After signing in on
the range computer, enter your name and time LEGIBLY on the Public Range
sign-in sheet. Be sure it is dated with current date to receive your credited
hours. Range Officers are periodically needed for special events such as Boy
Scout, gun shows, or special matches, etc.
Check with the Executive Officer for these service opportunities. To
maintain RO status and keys, you must serve at least 40 hours per service year
supervising the Public Range; Up to 10 hours supervising match events, verified
by the match director, may be applied toward your free membership. ROs who
service 45 hours or more within the RO year will receive a free membership.
Range
Maintenance Service
When preapproved by the Executive Committee, hours spent
on range maintenance projects will be applied to your services hours. Maintenance time must be entered in the Range
Maintenance Log. 45 hours of service after the first year earns a free
membership. It is the responsibility of the Executive Officer to maintain and
post a record of your service hours The RO service year runs from 1 July to 30
June and is divided into three periods: July 1 to October 31, November 1 to
February 28, and March 1 to June 30.
Range Officers must serve at least 20 hours on the Public Range during
the first period, and 20 hours total by the end of the second period. If for
any reason you cannot meet the minimum requirements for maintaining RO status
for the remainder of the service year contact the Executive Officer. New Range
Officers starting out of cycle will be pro-rated. The Executive Officer may
change the gate lock at the end of any of these periods, as deemed necessary.
Range
Officer Public Service and Scheduling Rules
Range Officers should schedule a shift at least 48 hours
in advance by either signing up on the website or by contacting the XO. If the number of shooters present justifies
the need for additional ROs, sign in on the range log and on the computer, have
the On Duty RO log in on the computer as your “RECURITER” to validate your time
and you will receive credit for the hours worked X2. Range Officers will be
given credit for filling in a last minute vacancy with less than 48 hrs notice.
Normally there should not be more than three Range
Officers per shift, except for Trainees; unless customer pressure requires
additional ROs and Range #3 is utilized (i.e., The 2 weeks prior to the general
hunt sight-ins).
If required for range cleanup, preparation, etc, you may
log up to two extra hours beyond the normal scheduled shift. Additional service credit will NOT be given
for public range supervision during times when the public range is not
scheduled to be open. Any Range Officer
who commits to a shift and then fails to show up or leave shift early without consent
of the other RO’s on duty, will have 4 hours deducted from their service
record.
A Range Officer may swap a shift with another RO when
both ROs are in agreement and the shift change has been coordinated with either
the XO or the TSO. If unable to contact
either the XO or the TSO annotate the Range Officer’s section of the range
sign-in sheet the RO that you are replacing.
Sometimes, life
gets on top of us all. If this happens to you, let the XO know and arrangements
may be made to hold your status.
Range Officers whose RO status is revoked due to a
failure to meet the minimum requirement, without prior approval of the XO, are
not eligible to re-apply for RO status for one year from the date of
revocation. ROs will receive credit for personal, independent, range
maintenance projects, when pre-approved by a member of Executive Committee.
Probation
and Termination
Range Officers who violate policy can be placed on
probation by any member of the Executive Committee for a length of time to
include extra training and observation not to exceed one year. A second violation during probation will
result in termination of Range Officer status.
Any Range Officer failing to fulfill public range service
requirements will be terminated as an RO unless provisions have been made by
the XO. They must then return all keys
and identifying equipment to the Executive Committee and will not be eligible
to begin training to regain RO status for at least one year from termination
date.
The WSA President, Secretary, Executive Officer or the
Training Safety Officer can alter and update the contents of this handbook,
with the approval of the WSA Executive Committee. This handbook supersedes all
previous editions.
Personality
conflicts:
Not everybody plays well with others. We are here for the
SAFETY of all persons on the range. If a personality conflict with a patron
arises, step back and have a different RO handle it. There will be no
personality conflict between RO’s on the range.
Wahsatch Shooters Association is happy to host Boy Scout
shooting activities all year round. In order for the Scouts to shoot at
the WSA range, Scout leaders have to be aware of the following policies and
procedures.
The WSA runs a supervised range, meaning that no shooting
can take place at any of our bays without the presence of a WSA certified Range
Officer. Range Officers are present at the public range, bay #2 during
our normal public hours. This range has a capacity of 30 shooters.
A Boy Scout troop arriving without warning can easily
overwhelm this busy range. Therefore, Scout groups coming up to
shoot without prior scheduling run a significant risk of being turned away.
The WSA will provide you with a shooting bay and a Range
Officer, provided that you give us adequate notice. This can be
accomplished by inquiring at our web site at http://www.wahsatchshooters.com/ or by calling Hyrum Lambert
(801-686-3490)
NOTE: WSA charges a one day membership fee of $7.00 per
shooter, if the following criteria are not met:
*BSA
requirements for Scouts to shoot under the Boy Scouts umbrella
1. *File Tour Plan with BSA
council they are registered with.
2. *Have one NRA Cert Range
Safety Officer; also have a NRA Cert Discipline Instructor (Pistol, Rifle,
Shotgun, ETC.)
3. *Must Follow Guide to Safe
Scouting Chapter VII Shooting Sports Section
4. *Must Follow AGE-Appropriate
guidelines for Scouting activities
5. *Additional information in
the BSA National Shooting Sports Manual 2011
6. *Permission slips signed by
parents
7. *Be in some type of scout
uniform Class A or Class B
*Scouts
from 11-16 years of age may only shoot .22 Cal single shot bolt
action rifles, shotguns, and muzzleloaders. They cannot shoot semi
–automatic rifles of any calibers.
Read
this next part carefully!
*Venturing
Crew which can be youth from 16-18 if LDS Church sponsored or youth from 14-21 if sponsored by a
community entity can shoot all calibers of pistols, rifles,
shotguns and muzzleloader; with the exception of fully
automatic firearms which are prohibited for any scouting age youth to use.
*If
Scout units choose not to follow the above guidelines, they can still shoot but
it won’t be a Boy Scout sanctioned activity.

This guide is designed to
familiarize WSA Range Officers with basic range safety procedures. The WSA Training & Safety officer will
provide training to new Range Officers prior
to being assigned range duties. Updated training will be provided if
there are any changes in range safety procedures or processes. This training, as a minimum, must address the
mandatory items listed below in the range safety-training outline.

SECTION 1
RANGE SAFETY PROCEDURES
There are numerous hazards inherent
to any public shooting range:
Firearms being mishandled by
customers, to prevent mishaps Range Officers will ensure;
a.
Customers
are briefed on correct handling of firearms while on this range.
b.
All
customers are equipped with and use hearing and eye protection.
c.
Firearms
not on the shooting bench will be placed in the rifle racks unloaded with bolts
open.
d.
Customers
understand and comply with Cease Fire Commands.
e.
No one
proceeds down range until all firearms are rendered safe.
f.
No one
handles uncased weapons during a Cease Fire or when people are downrange.
Slip
hazards; walk
carefully and pay attention to your surroundings. Expended brass can present a
slip hazard, request shooters police up their brass and either take it home or
place in brass buckets.
Trip
hazards; Customers
will occasionally leave rifle cases, ammo boxes, and personal items in the
walkway behind the shooting benches. When walking the line be careful and pay
attention to your surroundings. Request customers move these items off the
walkway.
SECTION 2
WEATHER
HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WSA SHOOTING RANGE
Foul Weather Hazards
The WSA shooting range is above 4,000
feet in elevation and is subject to cold weather extremes during the months of
December through March. Low early morning temperatures, coupled with strong
winds frequently produce equivalent chill temperatures below –20 F, which are
hazardous to personnel working outside.
The WSA policy is during these periods of extreme cold weather personnel
will use the buddy system when working outdoors to check each other for signs
of frostbite, hypothermia, excessive chilling or any other injury due to
inclement weather.
With cold winter temperatures, ROs
should wear proper clothing, and frequently warm themselves in the range house
without reducing range safety operations. Snow should be removed and ice melt
spread to help prevent slipping, wear boots with good tread and take shorter
steps. Make sure all icicles are removed
from overheads each day. The snow blower
and shovel is located in the range house. After removing show, spread ice melt
across the walkway to avoid ice buildup.
Return the snow blower and shovel to its proper location in the range
house.
The two greatest hazards during
spring and summer are high winds and lightning associated with thunderstorms. Summer temperatures can exceed 100 degrees
and severe sunburn can occur even on cloudy days. Heat cramps, exhaustion, and stroke can
result from working in this extreme heat.
Drink plenty of water! Also,
firearms and other surfaces may become hot enough to burn if touched by unprotected
skin. Heed the weather warnings
broadcast.
SECTION
3
HEARING
and EYE PROTECTION
Noise Hazardous
Noise is any unwanted sound. A little noise is not dangerous. However, loud noise is hazardous. It is a leading cause of hearing loss in the
United States. All of this loss would
not occur if people took proper care of their hearing. Sound is measured in decibels; A-weighted
scale (dBA) and noise levels greater than 85 dBA are considered hazardous. The average firearm produces 140 dBA which
can cause Physical pain.
As noise levels increase, the amount
of time you can be exposed to noise without being harmed decreases. You can develop hearing loss if you are
exposed to 85 dBA for eight hours a day, five days a week. Noise over 140 dBA can cause pain and hearing
loss occurs in seconds. Other factors,
which influence how noise impairs the ears, include age, previous ear trouble,
and distance from the source of the noise.
Damage from noise exposure is
cumulative. Gunfire noise you are exposed to during range duty time can add to
your exposure and hearing loss from other sources such as power tools, loud
music, motorcycling, and mowing the lawn.
The more noise added, the more hearing you may permanently loose.
Use hearing protection devices that are
properly fitted. Hearing protection is
required when working on the WSA range.
SECTION

LOCATION
OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND FIRST AID KIT
Fire Extinguishers
On bay 2, the public shooting bay
the closest fire extinguisher is inside the range house mounted above the cash
drawer and one mounted next to the first aid kit on the west wall. In bay 3 the
fire extinguisher is mounted on the west wall just inside the entry door.
Shovels are available in the main range house.
First Aid Kit
The First Aid Kit, it is located in the
range house mounted on the west wall, additional supplies are located in the
two right hand drawers of the desk.
SECTION
5
EMERGENCY ACTIONS FOR FIRE REPORTING
AND EVACUATION PROCEDURES
When there is a fire in any
building, immediate action must be taken to evacuate personnel, notify the fire
department and try to control the fire.
Range Officers should be familiar fire extinguisher use. The On Duty Range Officer should designate a
meeting location no closer than 300 feet from the area being evacuated,
preferably the public parking lot.
Sequence of actions for a
fire:
a. Sound alarm by shouting “fire, fire, fire”.
b.
Call fire department by dialing 911 and give the following information:
Name,
specific location of the fire, what is burning, electrical, trash, or whatever
is involved and report any known casualties. NOTE: Caller will stay on the line until released
by the operator.
c. If feasible, range personnel will
attempt to control the fire using portable fire extinguishers, water buckets,
and shovels.
NOTE:
No attempt should be made to fight a fire which is obviously too large
to control with available equipment.
d. Post an individual at the entrance
of the range to direct fire department to the site of the fire. If time and
personal safety permits, make every effort to remove high value items from the
hazard area.
SECTION 6
EMERGENCY ACTION FOR SEVERE INJURIES
a.
Call a “CEASE FIRE” and close the range to
all shooting.
b.
Call 911 and give the following information:
Name, specific location of the victim, nature of the injury, and condition of
the victim. NOTE: Caller will stay on
the line until released by the operator.
c.
Retrieve the nearest first aid kit and tend
to the victim as best you can. If you don’t know how to use something in the
kit, DO NOT USE IT.
d.
Ask for assistance from any person that may
have medical training.
e.
Assign persons to clear target stands if a
possibility of LIFE FLIGHT may be called.
f.
Direct someone to gather all persons not
involved to another area of the range.
g.
Post an individual at the entrance of the
range to direct emergency personnel to the site of the incident.
SECTION 7
REPORTING RANGE HAZARDS
What
Hazards To Report
Mishap prevention depends on all
personnel identifying, reporting, and correcting hazards promptly and
efficiently. Report any known hazards immediately to the WSA TSO or XO or any
board member for any event or condition that affects weapons and range safety.
Reportable hazards include unsafe procedures, practices, or conditions that
effectives the wellbeing of Ranger Officers or our customers.
If a hazard presents imminent
danger, the On Duty Range Officer will take immediate action to correct the situation
or apply interim control measures. Be assured that measures will be taken to
correct problems identified and your assistance is encouraged in providing a
safer shooting range.
