SAFETY AND CONDUCT RULES
It is the policy of FRGC that all members and guests maintain the highest degree of credibility and decorum possible. Behavior by anyone that does not meet FRGC’s standard and which has the potential of harming the reputation of the FRGC or any of its members is prohibited. Good sportsmanship is the obligation of every member and is an integral part of all shooting sports and every event sponsored by or held at FRGC. The ethical environment of FRGC must affirm and reflect primacy of human dignity, must encourage growth and achievement, and must insist on respect in all interpersonal relations. FRGC’s members and their guests are held accountable for their use of profane, vulgar, or offensive language, or behavior. Abusive treatment of fellow shooters and/or range/club officials is prohibited and will not be tolerated.

Range Rules

1. FRGC rules and procedures are for the safety and comfort of its members, guests, the surrounding communities, the environment, and to preserve the FRGC as a facility for the safe use of firearms. Any violation of the rules or procedures may result in cancellation of FRGC membership by FRGC Board.

2. FRGC Key Tags may not be used by anyone other than the club member to whom they were issued. Key Tags are the property of FRGC and must be surrendered to FRGC officials or employees on request.

3. Eye and ear protection is mandatory on the range deck, no exceptions. It is HIGHLY recommended that all persons on the range wear a brimmed hat; this prevents spent casings (brass) from being caught between the eye protection and eyes.

4. Observe the four Basic Firearms Safety Rules:
- Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
- Never point your firearm at anything you are not prepared to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger well until up on target with intent to shoot.
- Always consider your target and its background.

5. Individual FRGC members may bring a maximum of two guests with them to the range, and must remain with the guests at all times. Members are responsible for the observation of FRGC rules and procedures by their guests. Members and their Guests are not required to share a lane unless the range is full, then they must share a lane. It is the Member’s responsibility to remain aware of this.

6. Any minors (under 18) must be closely supervised by a FRGC member at all times. The member may not shoot while a minor is shooting, and must closely supervise the minor’s shooting and firearms handling.

7. No alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs or illegal substances are permitted on FRGC property. Persons under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other intoxicants are not permitted on FRGC property.

8. All shooting will be on designated ranges only.

13. All uncased firearms must be unloaded unless on the firing line.  Handguns may be carried on the premises, either concealed or exposed, in accordance with Colorado Revised Statues.

14. All shooting must be deliberate, controlled and aimed fire. Uncontrolled firing is firing from the hip, or any other firing where the firearm is not aimed by having the shooter’s eye aligned with the firearm sights.  Use of laser sighting devices is considered sighted fire.

20. During a Cease Fire no firearms may be handled.

21. Firearms may never sweep or be pointed at anyone at any time, regardless of the loaded or unloaded condition of the firearm.

22. Loud, disruptive or offensive behavior will not be tolerated. The use of profane, vulgar, or offensive language will not be tolerated.
