Firearms Range

Bay’s Custom Cartridges offers a firearms range to practice and train on your firearm.  South Carolina firearm range rules generally emphasize SAFETY.  Key points include treating all firearms as if they are loaded, maintaining muzzle control, and ensuring safety of the target and area before firing.  Specific regulations, rules, and questions can be directed to staff on-site, but these core principles should be observed at all times.

SAFETY FIRST

• Treat all firearms as if they are loaded:  This means always keeping your firearm pointed in a safe direction and ensuring it’s unloaded when not in use.
• Maintain muzzle control:  Keep your firearm pointed downrange and never point it at anyone.
• Be sure of your target and what is beyond:  Verify that your target is safe and there are no people or objects in the path of the bullet.
• Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire:  This prevents accidental discharge

SPECIFIC RANGE REGULATIONS

• Loading / Unloading:  Only load and unload firearms in designated areas and keep them pointed downrange.
• Target Placement:  Ensure targets are placed within the designated area and are safe.
• Range Equipment:  Follow any specific range equipment instructions (appropriate eye and hearing protection).
• No Smoking, food, or drinks on the firing line:  This is a common rule to maintain focus and safety.
• Open-toed shoes are prohibited:  This prevents accidents
• Specific ammunition types may be prohibited:  This includes tracer, incendiary, or armor-piercing rounds.
• No fully automatic weapons may be used:  This is a common restriction
• Any activity that could create a safety hazard is prohibited:  This includes climbing on berms, benches, or firing points.

OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
