Get Trained and Practice
If you currently own or plan to purchase a firearm for personal, home, or business defense/protection, for your own safety, and the safety of all others, it is imperative that you become familiar with, and proficient in, the proper operation and safe use of the firearm(s) you select.
Whatever your reason for purchasing or owning a firearm, without the ability to properly and safely use that firearm is a recipe for disaster! Proper training and practice to hone your shooting skills, plus the knowledge of the current laws pertaining to the use of firearms in your state/county is solely your responsibility as a firearm owner.
As an association that defends the Second Amendment to the constitution, we at Safety First Shooting Association urge you to seek out proper firearms training and defensive skills workshops.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES & SMOKING
Evidence toward the use of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes have been noted by range officials during their visits to the range. A reminder to your agreement to the rules of membership:
Alcoholic Beverages and Drugs. Shooters may not consume alcoholic beverages or drugs, (including prescription drugs and over the counter medications), before or during live firing.
There shall be No Smoking at the River Oaks Shooting Range at any time.
The Firing Lines
The Firing Lines marked on the walls in Bay 2 and Bay 3 are set at a distance that makes it safe for members and onlookers using either bay at the same time. Except for special events under supervision of Range Safety Officers, all weapons are to be loaded, unloaded and shot from or in front of the Firing Line pointing into the dirt backstop. You are allowed to position the tables up to the Firing Line if you do not want to be walking back and forth. We ask you to please adhere to the rule and kindly remind others you may see breaking this rule for all of our safety.
Pick Up Your Brass
PLEASE make every effort to pick up your spent brass and shot shell casing. 22’s are exempt due to the small size and usual large quantity expended. You can either throw the brass in the trash can or in the brass buckets for those that like to reload their ammo can pick it out. This is not a Lost Brass Range where it is OK to leave it laying around.
Empty the Trash Cans
If you fill up or see a full trash can that is filled up, please help out and dump it into the main dumpster next to the green storage trailer passed Bay 3. This is the way they get dumped. We don’t have people that just dump trash cans when there full. Thank You!
Range HOT Flags
There are red flags stored in the utility closet to be placed on the poles when you are shooting at any of the bays. This will give members a quick warning which bays are hot when entering the range. Please remember to remove them when you or the last shooter is done.
