Description

Although the target holders are already in place, the main hall will need to be setup, by the Range Officer:

  • All furniture removed between the firing line and targets (benches, seating, flag-pole and flag, tables).
  • The ballistic curtains above the targets drawn closed.
  • Tables set out along the firing line (wooden tables are stored in the cupboard in reception area by the Hall double doors).
  • Firing line and area demarcated using the provided self-standing tape barriers.
  • Red flag hung outside the main activity hall doors.
  • for 10yd and 10m range, the main activity hall doors must be blocked off in the reception hall area using the barrier tape stands to prevent access to the hall.  Access to hall is then through the small hall which also acts as the waiting area nd/or fire exit to the outside.

It is the responsibility of the Range Officer to ensure the range is run  in compliance with NRSA and Mersey Weaver range safety rules, that they have completed a risk assessment for the activity in place and all those shooting have completed a shooting declaration/permission to shoot.

Afterwards, the main hall must be cleaned and all items returned to their storage location, this includes:

  • Remove all waste lead pellets from the building:
    • Empty the pellet catchers; and
    • whole room swept clean and floor brushings containing lead put into your lead disposal bag.
  • Room reinstated for normal use:
    • Wooden tables return to their storage cupboard in reception area;
    • Folding chairs returned to their storage frame in the reception (seats facing inwards);
    • Flagpole and flag put back into its holder;
    • Barrier tapes returned to storage location; and
    • room thermostat turned down to 8 deg Celsius.
  • All rubbish must be taken away with the hirer as the building does not have a waste collection service. Lead pellets for disposal must be bagged separately from non-lead waste and NOT put into any of the waste bins in the building

User provides their own paper targets and equipment. Access to the range starts at your chosen start time and you must cleared up and left the range (and building) by the end of your chosen end time. Therefore allow for setup and clear up time when choosing your booking start and end time.
