Better safe than sorry…
RTFR shooting grounds are an un-staffed property. This means there is no RSO (Range Safety Officer) on site to police rules, resolve conflict, or administer aid.
It is the responsibility of each patron to conduct themselves professionally and prioritize their own safety as well as the safety of others.
There are currently no first aid kits or medical stations on the premises. IFAK’s and other personal med kits that include TQ’s are an encouraged provision to have with you in case of emergency.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with local response resources.
