At Chetola Sporting Reserve, safety is our top priority for the safe enjoyment of all our guests, and we ask everyone to sign a safety liability waiver. Here are some safety tips to help orient you ahead of your visit.

We provide free eye and ear protection to be worn on all live ranges. Our Range Safety Officers are available to provide instruction, safety orientation, and assistance. We ask members and guests to follow sporting clay, firearm and safety rules on all ranges, with shooting only taking place inside shooting stations with only one shooter per lane at a time.

Keep firearms in their case or holster until on the designated range with them unloaded (and shotgun actions open) until standing on the shooting station in a safe position ready to load up to 2 shells. A loaded firearm should not be unattended. Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to safely engage target. Always maintain firearms pointed in a safe direction.

Open and clear your breech prior to leaving a station and be particularly careful if navigating any rough terrain. Please refrain from handling another shooter’s equipment without permission, and we ask that no loaded firearms be in the Clubhouse or at Chetola Resort.
We limit bird shot to no larger than #7, and limit to one gauge of ammunition at a time as we ask you to ensure your ammo is compatible with your firearm. All non-members will use approved ammo purchased from Chetola.

While we ask everyone to pick up your spent shell casings and properly containerize them, please stay behind all trap houses, clay throwers, and shooting stations; contact an employee to safely retrieving any items out of reach. Please obey any cease fire commands.

Ages 6 and up may participate in archery and air riflery, while ages 12 and up may participate in any live firing with a parent or guardian. Ages below 18 must have a parent or guardian present on the firing line while participating. Must be 21 years or older to purchase handgun ammunition unless a parent or guardian is present.

Please only smoke in designated areas. Handling firearms after consuming alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited; anyone displaying an inability to safely operate equipment or to follow safety procedures will not be permitted to proceed. There are multiple centrally located first aid kits.
