Annie Oakley - Returning Student Range Time

All participants in the Returning Student Range Time must first take the Safety Class.  Once you have taken the safety class and have a card confirming your participation, you can attend the Returning Student Rage Time or any other Special Programs offered by Annie Oakley. For returning students, the range goes “hot” at 6:15 p.m. The range will be hot for twenty-minute sessions with a five-minute break between each session until we are done at 7:45 p.m. When a ceasefire is called for the five-minute break, it is imperative that no one approaches the tables except for RSO’s. RSO’s will be assigned to watch tables during the breaks to make sure no one approaches the tables. When we call a ceasefire for the five-minute break, you will have the following options:

If you’re staying for another round, your firearms can remain on the table but need to be unloaded and cleared, with the action open and facing up. You can also make changes to your target at this time – either moving the target board further in or further out or put up a new target. Do not approach the tables at any time for any reason during the five-minute break. If you remove your eye and ear protection during the break, please keep those with you or with your things behind the yellow safety line and don’t leave them on the table. If you plan on leaving, please clear and case your firearm before the break. This will assist us with clearing your table quickly for new arrivals. For new arrivals, once you’re checked in and assigned to a table, you are not to approach the tables until we call the range hot. Once we call the range hot, you can approach the table and uncase your firearm.

Be sure you are wearing weather appropriate clothing, as well as clothing appropriate for the gun range. We recommend that you wear closed-toed shoes (flip flops are not recommended), and make sure the neckline on your top is high enough that hot shells won’t go down the front of your shirt (hot metal can burn you – especially when it gets caught in your clothing).  You can bring your own firearms and ammunition, or you can continue using the firearms provided by the program.  Once you’ve used up your punchcard that gives you a bag of ammunition for every “punch”, you can continue using the program’s firearms but must bring your own ammunition (.22LR).
