SAFETY ISSUE

Covered Rifle Range Shooters - Before dropping the CEASE - FIRE SIGN Please be certain to check that NO ONE is using the Competition Range to the left. Members may be in the shed getting or re-facing targets and are unseen. If you see equipment on the competition line, or have ANY doubt, be safe...... WAIT a few more minutes.

Competition Range Users: Be certain to let shooters on the bench know you will be going to the pits and may not be seen. The Covered Rifle Range is under the control of the Competition Range when the Competition Range is in use.

We will be using an orange cone (CMP RANGE IN USE) to signify when persons are down range on the competition rifle range. The cone will be placed in front of the cease-fire sign normally in use on the rifle range

	The Clairton Sportsmen rifle section is a very active and varied facet of our club. The outdoor range has 10 firing benches with targets set at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards. This range offers a great place to sight in rifles, muzzle loaders, pistols, and shotguns (slugs only). The range is open to members who may bring one guest. However, no guests are permitted in November due to the high volume of members who sight in for deer season. The range is open year round from 9:00 A.M. till dusk. This is a paper target range and is for single round firing only. The 200 Yard Competition range offers 12 firing points and is open only under the supervision of a designated range officer . CSC is affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program and holds 7-9 highpower competition matches throughout the spring, summer, and fall. We host a John C. Garand Match that is sanctioned through the CMP. Along with these matches, we include several .22-rimfire long range matches that are fired at 200 yard targets. The indoor rifle/archery range offers 50 foot target shooting on Thursday evenings at 7:00P.M. These matches typically begin on the second Thursday of November and end on the second Thursday in March. This is a great program to learn firearm safety, proper techniques for competitive shooting, and just a great way to have some fun. Juniors are encouraged to participate, often the starting age is 10 years old, but adults are welcome as well. We encourage parents to stay and watch their children learn.

Basic Range Rules
