​

The Club Rules are meant to ensure the safety of all users of our facilities. It is expected that all members and visitors will conduct themselves in a responsible manner.

 

Members and non-member visitors must avoid conflict in interpersonal relations in connection with range usage and/or the conduct of Club business. Rude, threatening and/or harassing behavior will not be tolerated.

 

All club members and non-member visitors are expected to be familiar with these Rules, the standard operating procedures of any range venue which is being used, their firearms, and the basic rules of firearm safety.

 

A violation of these Rules by a non-member visitor may result in expulsion from Club property or from an off-site Club function, and/or loss of the privilege of using Club facilities in the future.

 

Any violation of these Rules by a member will result in a written notice from the Board of Directors. An egregious initial Rule violation or subsequent or repeated minor violations may result in the revocation of the offender’s Club membership in accordance with procedures set forth in the Club’s Bylaws.

 

These Rules are enacted to supplement the current version of the Redmond Rod & Gun Club Bylaws. If any conflict should arise between the provisions the two documents, the Bylaws provision shall prevail.

 

CONTROL

 

The ranges are under the control of designated Range Safety Officers (RSO)and authorized members and volunteers. RSOs and those authorized are provided to maintain safety and control of the ranges at all times, and to enforce the rules. In the event of an emergency, they are trained to respond with appropriate action. Club Membership and/or the use of club facilities by non-members implies that users have read these rules and agree to follow the direction of the designated Range Safety Officers and those authorized.

 

Range Safety Officers and authorized RR&GC staff are member volunteers. They DO NOT write Club policy. If you have questions or concerns about these rules, please contact the Board of Directors.

OPERATION

 

Use of club facilities is available to members, their guests, and members of the public subject to payment of required use fees. Non-members will be allowed use of club facilities during normal hours of operation. Fees for members and non-members are set by the Board of Directors and are subject to change.

 

Operating hours for each discipline are set by the Directors. Hours of operation are posted in each discipline’s area and on our website, www.rrandgc.com.

 

Use of club facilities for special events is available by reservation, and occasionally closes all or part of the club facilities to other users, including the general membership.

 

Use of club facilities without the presence of a Board member, or a qualified person designated by the Discipline Director is not permitted, and will be considered Criminal Trespass, and will be prosecuted.

 

VOLUNTEERS

 

The club is operated by volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, please contact the Board of Directors.

 

TRAINING

 

Firearms training by outside vendors using Club facilities is available for members and non-members alike. A list of authorized training vendors should be maintained at each Club shooting venue. Training arrangements must be made between the trainee and the vendor directly.

 

Training for certification as a Range Safety Officer or other RR&GC staff positions is available at training sessions which are run periodically. Advance notice of such training sessions should be posted at the various shooting venues, and on the Club website. The minimum age for Range Safety Officers is 21.

 

Any member who is interested in any such training program may also make inquiry through the Board of Directors. The Board meets on the first Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. except when the first Monday is a holiday.

 

Qualified instructors are welcome to use our facilities for various firearms safety, training and qualification instruction. Instructors must be approved in advance by the Board of Directors and must maintain current membership in the Club.

 

Instructors must provide a current certificate of insurance in the amount of two million dollars which lists Redmond Rod and Gun Club as an additional insured in order to obtain and maintain authorization to conduct training. Instructors will be responsible for the collection of Club daily range fees for every student (member or non-member as appropriate) and must submit the fees collected to the appropriate Discipline Director or his/her designee in a timely manner.
