Target Safety Guide and Waiver
Safety Instructions
1. General Safety:
a. Always wear safety glasses and ear protection while engaging in shooting activities. Only use safety glasses that meet or surpass the ANSI Z87.1+ standard for impact, safety, and clarity.
b. Utilize only lead ammunition to minimize the risk of target damage and ricochets.
c. Do not use steel-core or hardened ammunition as they may damage the targets and increase the likelihood of ricochet injuries.
d. Targets should be mounted to allow for a slight swing or downward angle, facilitating the safe deflection of bullet fragments, preferably using a forward angle of 20 degrees or more.
e. The Mounting Assembly Instructions, V-Stand and Multi-Target Mounting Instructions contain specific instructions concerning the use of spring and hook-style mounts. Always use a spring style target amount for left or right angled T-Posts. Hook style mounts should only be used with 90° uprights. Spring or hook-style mounts are not needed when the target is at least a twenty-degree forward angle.
f. Hook-style mounts should only be used with 90-degree upright targets.
2. Recommended Shooting Distances:
a. Pistols: Maintain a minimum distance of 10 yards.
b. Magnum Handguns: Engage at a minimum distance of 25 yards to ensure safety.
c. Rifles: Observe a minimum shooting distance of 100 yards, extending to 200 yards for high-velocity projectiles (speeds exceeding 3,000 FPS).
3. Setup Guidelines:
a. Secure the target firmly to prevent any unintended movement.
b. The vicinity of the target should be kept free from flammable substances and materials.
c. The use of BBs, pellets, airsoft guns, or any other non-approved ammunition is strictly prohibited as these can bounce back and pose a risk of injury.
4. Target Maintenance:
a. Targets displaying any signs of bending, cracks, or damage should be replaced immediately to ensure continued safety.
