What do I do upon arrival?

Report to the clubrooms and inform the duty person which discipline you wish to shoot; clay target or rifle.  Payment will be made at this time for the rifle range, a receipt issued and you will be directed to the range officers for rifle shooting.  Very clay target shooting if you are new shooter you will be assigned to the duty person for coaching, all others should report to the clay target coordinator for 'squading'.
