E.GOVENOR’s REPORT.

  1. Need to be more attentive to cease fire procedures and rifle/pistol/trap range coordination between shooting positions. Make sure everyone knows when the line is going safe or hot. Pay particular attention to signal lights, flag at pistol area and ORANGE cone and flag at trap area as it is NOT safe to handle firearms when these are displayed.
  2. Pay attention to where and what you are shooting at and those around you. As always, Be Safe.
