BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Ironman supports pistol, rifle, and tactical shotgun to approximately 460 / 700+ yards, with calibers up to .338 Lapua and .50 BMG. Range Control may restrict calibers at any time; their decisions are final. If the gate is open but the red flag is down, do not enter.

Shooters ages 8–17 are limited to rimfire firearms and must remain under direct adult supervision on the firing line. No one under 8 is permitted.

Required

• Empty Chamber Indicators (ECIs) are required in all firearms, with no exceptions, and may be purchased at the clubhouse.
• Eye and ear protection must be provided by each shooter and is required for everyone on the range when the range is in a hot status.
• Bring your own targets, stands, tools, fasteners, and other needed materials. Targets are limited to paper, wood, plastic, and approved ballistic steel (more details below).

Prohibited

• Automatic fire
• Binary/forced-reset triggers, bump stocks, or simulated automatic fire
• Tracer, incendiary, or API ammunition
• .375/.416 CheyTac and similar boutique calibers
• Dueling trees, Texas Stars, or similar targets
• Shooting drills
• Trash, brass, or ammunition in Port-a-Johns

Form 1 and Form 4 firearms are permitted. Strong-side OWB holster draws may be allowed at RSO discretion.

ARRIVAL AND HANDLING OF FIREARMS

Cased firearms may be brought to the firing line during setup but must remain cased until the safety brief is complete and the line is declared hot. Late arrivals must sign in and receive an RSO safety brief before bringing gear forward.

Firearms not being used must remain cased. Any uncased firearm not being fired must have the action open, magazine/ammunition removed, safety on, and ECI inserted. Do not handle uncased firearms while the line is cold.

Be prepared to case all firearms at the final cease fire. Firearms needing cooling time should be cooled before 1240.

Steel must be at least 3/8-inch AR500, angled toward the ground, and free of excessive pitting or holes.  RSOs have the final decision on steel targets.
