The RANGE SCHEDULE is updated on a regular basis. You may wish to check the schedule to make sure the range you wish to use is available.
Although the range surpasses required safety requirements, the LFGA Executive has a set of Range Safety Protocols to further public safety.
Other documents pertaining to the new methods of operation down at the Range include:
- Range Rules, which cover the use of the Range facility.
- Range Safety Protocols, revised since the closing of the Range.
- The role of the LFGA Range Officer, including duties and responsibilities.
- The Pre-Booking Hazard Assessment, which is a requisite for booking the Range for any activity.
- The Range Access Agreement, the agreement for Range Officers to sign in order to be given the “key” for accessing the Range.
- The LFG Range Incident Report, a new document prepared at the request of LFG Range Officers.
For advance bookings, send an e-mail the Range Operator and include your name and phone number, the number in your group, the date and time you want to shoot and the type of shooting you want to do (which range). A designated LFG Range Officer will respond by e-mail or phone within 48 hours.
