Ask a Range Officer for assistance if required. We will be more than happy to help.

10. Care must be taken when shooting short barrel weapons and handguns. Shooters must not break the 90 degree angle from the down Range line to the Firing Line, thereby potentially pointing the weapon at an adjacent shooter or an individual behind the line. Breaking the 90 degree angle is considered a severe safety violation. This offense may result in immediate removal and possible permanent banishment from the Facility and surrender of your Membership.

11. Best practices are that food, beverages, and tobacco products be prohibited on the Range due to lead and other toxic exposure. Food and beverages are consumed at your own risk. Smoking/vaping is PROHIBITED throughout the Range Cabin and on the Range, and shall only be allowed in an outside designated smoking area.

12. A maximum of two (2) firearms shall be permitted in the Firing Lane or on the shooting bench at one time. All weapons not in use shall either be cased or pointed down Range with a chamber flag installed.

DO NOT cover the entire target backer with multiple targets.

15. Individuals must be approved in advance – after a safety brief and skills test – by Range Personnel to draw from a holster. Once approved, this activity shall take place on the Pistol Steel Range or in the Carbine Room ONLY. Shoulder holsters and cross-draw holsters, inside the waistband holsters and ankle holsters may not be used.

16. Individuals must be approved in advance – after a safety brief and skills test – by Range Personnel to use the Carbine Room. This room is NOT for pistols only. Shooters may work carbine specific drills and transition to secondary drills. Shooters must shoot from behind the RED FIRING LINE and may NOT move the fixed targets. Shooters must be mindful not to cross-range fire or shooting the Overhead Concrete Protection Baffles or Baffle Supports.

17. Individuals must be approved in advance for 200-300 Yard Target use via the following requirements:

d) This process must be completed for each weapon system and your card will be stamped/or your file noted accordingly.

18. Malfunctions:

If any weapon fails to fire when pressing on the trigger, keep the weapon pointed down Range and wait at least thirty (30) seconds prior to attempting to open the breach or action.

If the weapon emits an audible pop, usually accompanied by white smoke and less recoil, this indicates a possible squib load and the possibility that a projectile is lodged in the barrel. Remove the magazine if applicable, place the weapon on the shooting bench pointed down Range, and seek assistance from the Range Officer.

DO NOT take a jammed or malfunctioning firearm away from your Firing Line; ask for assistance from the Range Officer.

If you have any type of catastrophic failure and/or are injured in any way, place the weapon on the shooting bench or the ground facing down Range and alert the Range Officer immediately.

If you need assistance with ANY malfunction notify a Range Officer.

19. All questions about the safe operation of your particular firearm or any of the forgoing procedures shall be directed to the Range Officer and/or can be found by consulting your Firearms Owner’s Manual.

20. Under no circumstances, shall sales of ammunition and firearms by individuals be permitted on the Facility premises.

21. In the event that any Member/Associate Member observes a serious safety violation likely to result in immediate and serious injury to a shooter or shooters on the Range, or if a Member/Associate Member observes a serious injury on the Range, he or she has the RIGHT AND OBLIGATION to call "CEASE FIRE, CEASE FIRE, CEASE FIRE" and alert the Range Officer immediately.

22. Any damage to the facility due to a Member/Associate Member's negligence, intentional act and/or failure to follow safety guidelines will be the financial responsibility of the Member/Associate Member.

Concealed carry weapons must remain holstered and on one’s person. Uncased weapons MUST be unloaded and have a chamber flag inserted. Chamber Flags may be borrowed from the Pro Shop. C2 Shooting Center is not responsible for any damaged or stolen items or injury to persons that occur in the parking lot.

25. I recognize that I may be expelled from C2 Shooting Center for violation of the Range Safety Rules and Procedures or for behavior deemed unsafe by Range Officers or Range Personnel. Decisions regarding expulsion and revocation of Membership are final.

6. Members and Associate Members are strictly prohibited from teaching and/or instructing individuals or groups for compensation unless explicitly authorized in writing by C2 Shooting Center personnel.  Doing so will result in permanent banishment from the Facility and surrender of your Membership.

7. The ONLY time a pistol may be holstered (aside from a concealed carry weapon) is on the firing line at the Pistol Steel Range or the in the Carbine Room.  At all other times, weapons MUST be unloaded, cased, and/or action open with the slide locked to the rear with a chamber flag inserted.

8. C2 Shooting Center reserves the right to refuse service to or admission to and to remove anyone from the Facility at any time and for any reason in the sole discretion of Range Personnel or Range Officers.

9. C2 SHOOTING CENTER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS. 

10. There shall be NO REFUNDS for any Membership if the individual is removed or banished from the range.

1.    All standard, high-powered rifle calibers shall be permitted, up to and including .338 Lapua on the Rifle Paper Ranges.  NO greater caliber shall be permitted.

2. All standard handgun calibers, up to but NOT including .500 Smith & Wesson shall be permitted on the Pistol Paper Range.

3. On the Pistol Steel Range calibers shall be limited to .380, .38 Special, 9mm, .40 cal. and 45 ACP. NO OTHER CALIBERS are permitted.  ONLY ball or Full Metal Jacket type ammunition is permitted.  NO HOLLOW POINT AMMUNITION ALLOWED.  Hollow-point ammunition damages the targets and can cause injury to the shooter and/or bystanders.  Rapid fire is NOT permitted.  Weapons may only be fired from the RED FIRING LINE.  Violation of either of these rules may result in immediate banishment from the Facility and surrender of your Membership.  Members/Associate Members shall be financially responsible for all the costs of the steel target replacement or replacements.

4. Rifle steel targets shall be limited to the following calibers and rates of fire:

a) 100 YD Target shall only be engaged by smaller calibers or lower velocity calibers such as 30-30, .223, 5.56, 6.8 SPC, 7.62x39, 243, 270, and 6.5 Creedmore.  Calibers larger than stated will quickly damage the targets, making them no longer serviceable.

b) 200-300 YD Targets may be engaged with all calibers up to and including .300 Win Mag.  

c) A high rate of fire that does not allow the target to absorb the transfer of energy from the projectile to heat causes damage to the temper of the steel.  Therefore, time must be given to allow the target to cool.  This equates to engaging a target with one round no more than every fifteen (15) to thirty (30) seconds.

d) NO 5.56, “M855,” Steel Penetrator (“Green Tip”) ammunition or .30 caliber armor –piercing ammunition shall be used on the rifle steel targets.

5. Birdshot for shotgun and pistol (the judge or the governor) is prohibited. NO PATTERNING OF SHOTGUNS ALLOWED.   

6. Tracer, incendiary, explosive or armor-piercing ammunition is prohibited on ALL Ranges.

7. Hand-reloaded ammunition is permitted for use by a participant in participant’s own firearms only.

8. If you have ANY questions regarding ammunition requirements/restrictions, please ask the Range Officer for clarification.

1. NO weapon without a buttstock shall be permitted on any C2 Range.  This includes, but is not limited to “MAC 10” pistols, AR-15 pistols with only a buffer tube exposed, HK Pistols, AK Pistols, Shotguns, and any/all other weapon variants without a buttstock.

2. AR Pistol Variants ONLY with a “SIG” or “SBA” Brace attached in any caliber shall be allowed on the Rifle Range only.  Any other braced weapon of any type shall be allowed ONLY on the rifle range regardless of caliber. NONE shall be permitted on Pistol Ranges or Pistol Steel Range.

3. Rates of fire on all weapons shall be controlled; with shots taken once the weapon has settled from the recoil of the previous shot.  Shooters shall shoot off of sight picture, not trigger control.  NO RAPID FIRE SHALL BE PERMITTED.  Violation of this rule may result in permanent banishment from the Facility and surrender of your Membership without refund.

4. After a five-minute or two-minute warning is given, any shooter who blatantly rapid fires his/her weapon to empty a box magazine shall be in violation of the rapid fire rule. Alternatively, the shooter should simply remove the magazine with the rounds installed and await the coming cease fire.  This is called an “ammo dump” and is strictly prohibited.

5. Muzzle-loading firearms may be fired on the Range.  Muzzle-loader shooters shall NOT attempt to load a charge after the two-minute Warning. If a charge is loaded and not fired when a “CEASE FIRE” is called, notify the Range Officer Immediately and the Range Officer will all you time to get the shot off and clear the weapon.  No weapon can have a charge loaded during a “COLD” period.

6. Binary triggers, bump stocks, and any other devices used to simulate fully automatic fire are strictly prohibited.

1. EVERYONE using the West Range at C2 Shooting Center must be a Member or Associate Member.  Military, Law Enforcement, bonafide Training Companies and other contractors that rent or use the East Range Training Ranges are NOT required to be Members. These entities’ usage of the C2 Shooting and Training Center shall be limited to the East Training Ranges unless otherwise specified. 

2. Prior to coming to C2 Shooting Center, all new Members and Associate Members should visit the website at C2shootingcenter.com to read the safety rules, procedures, Membership options, sign the Waiver of Liability, Indemnification and Assumption of Risk, and purchase the requisite Membership for access to the Range Facility.  This may be done on-site, HOWEVER, this will take a significant amount of time to read and complete, so prepare accordingly.  It is best done at home with ample time allowed. 

3. Upon arrival, Members and Associate Members must first check-in at the Pro-Shop with Range Personnel.  New Members must be verified by Range Personnel and will be given the appropriate Membership Documentation/Cards.     

4. Once Membership is verified, Members will present Range Personnel with a valid photo ID and one of his/her Membership Cards to be held by Range Personnel for the duration of the Member’s visit.  Both must be presented at EACH visit. Guests must also present a valid photo ID.

5. During check-in, ALL WEAPONS (except for holstered concealed weapons) MUST REMAIN IN A VEHICLE.  Weapons are no longer allowed in the vestibule while awaiting entry to the Range so as to reduce congestion in the vestibule and eliminate inappropriate handling of weapons in the Range Cabin.

6. Range Personnel will provide the Member/Associate Member with any/all rental or sale items needed for shooting on the Range (i.e., eye protection, ear protection, stapler, targets, scope and bags), and will answer any questions necessary for access to the Range.

7. Once checked-in, and whether the line is “HOT” or “COLD,” if there is a Shooting Lane is available, the Member/Guest may take his/her shooting gear, targets, and other NON-WEAPON items out to the Firing Lane in preparation for shooting.  IF THE LINE IS “HOT,” the Member/Guest may retrieve his/her weapon(s) from his/her vehicle and bring them directly to the Firing Line in accordance with the general rules.

8. Members/Associate Members may then use the Range according to the requisite membership terms, and the safety rules and procedures iterated in this document.

9. During the Member/Associate Member's last “HOT” period prior to checking out, the Member/Associate Member will return his/her weapon(s) to his/her vehicle.

10. During the following “COLD” period, the Member/Associate Member must appropriately clean up as outlined in the rules and then the Member/Associate Member will return to the Pro-Shop for check-out.  At this time, the Member/Associate Member will return and any/all rentals and pay for retail sale items.  Range Personnel will return valid picture ID and Membership Card to the Member/Associate Member.

1. The Range is always considered either “HOT” or “COLD” as declared by the Range Officer.

2. At the start of each day or round of Range activities, once the Range Officer has completely checked the Firing Line, he/she shall call the line “COLD” thereby allowing participants to (i) select a Shooting Lane (ii) go forward of the Firing Line to post, paste or place their targets on the selected Shooting Lane and (iii) move any additional gear required to the area behind the Firing Line of their Shooting Lane.  NO WEAPONS MAY BE BROUGHT OUT TO THE FIRING LINE during a “COLD” period as current participants in Range activities may be down Range.  There shall be NO HANDLING of any weapons during any “COLD” period.  “COLD” periods last as long as it takes for all shooters to return from down Range, typically no more than Ten (10) minutes.

3. When a Range Officer declares the Range is “HOT,” and gives the command “EYES AND EARS ARE REQUIRED AT THIS TIME, THE LINE IS NOW HOT,” firing may commence, participants are free to handle firearms and unloaded weapons may be brought out to the chosen Shooting Lane.  THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THAT WEAPONS MAY BE BROUGHT OUT TO THE FIRING LINE OR REMOVED FROM THE FIRING LINE.  All loading and unloading of weapons on the Facility premise must be done on the Range in a shooting lane during a “HOT” period.  Weapons must remain pointed down range while uncasing, casing, loading and unloading.  Eye and ear protection is mandatory all times during a “HOT” period.  Everyone must remain behind the Firing Line until the Range is declared “COLD” by a Range Officer.  “HOT” periods typically Last approximately thirty (30) minutes.

4. A "Five-Minute Warning" command and “Two-Minute Warning” command shall be given by the Range Officer prior to the cessation of a firing period or “HOT” period as a warning that the “HOT” period is about to expire. The "Five-Minute Warning"  gives individuals desiring to exit the Range the appropriate amount of time to clear, pack up, and remove his/her weapon to his/her vehicle prior to the range being called "COLD."  The “Two-Minute Warning” gives an additional alert for efficiency purposes that it is almost time to unload and secure your weapon for inspection by the Range Officer prior to the Range being called “COLD.”  

5. Upon expiration of the HOT period, the Range Officer will call the command “CEASE, FIRE, CEASE FIRE, CEASE FIRE,” at which time ALL shooters shall follow this specific procedure:

• Stop shooting IMMEDIATELY.
• Remove your finger from the trigger.
• Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
• Open and clear the action, remove all ammunition from the weapon and insert a chamber flag into the empty chamber of your weapon.
• Step behind the red line to make your weapon available for inspection by a Range Officer who will check each weapon on the Firing Line to ensure all weapons are clear and unloaded with chamber flags installed.
• There shall be NO further handling of your weapon.
• Wait for further instructions from the Range Officer.  
• Once the Range Officer has completely checked the Firing Line, he/she shall call the line “COLD,” thereby allowing shooters to go forward of the Firing Line to post or remove their targets on the selected Shooting Lane.

(For your safety, C2 Shooting Center allows any Member/Associate Member who sees an unsafe condition, a severe safety violation, or an injury to call a “CEASE FIRE,” at which time the above referenced procedure shall be followed by everyone and the Range Officer immediately notified of the concern.)  

6. Upon completion of a shooting session and prior to leaving the Range for the day during a “COLD” period, each participant shall police his/her brass and trash behind and in front of his/her Firing Line, remove his/her targets from the Shooting Lane and place each such item in the proper containers provided and labeled by C2 Shooting Center.  Brass is to be placed in the brass buckets. Steel casings and shotgun shells are to be placed in the trash can.  This clean-up process is the most common safety/rule violation at C2 Shooting Center and will be enforced.  Failure to follow this rule may result in a warning and ultimately, banishment from the Facility and surrender of your Membership without refund.  Again, NO WEAPONS shall be handled or moved during this time.
