Range Safety Flags (red pennants) have been installed for the rifle ranges and pistol bay areas of the range. The safety flag for the rifle ranges is located just to the left of the access road as you enter the driveway for the rifle ranges.
Safety Pennant for the Rifle Ranges
The safety pennant for the pistol bays is located to the right as you drive into the pistol bay area.
Safety Pennant for the Pistol Bays
These red pennants are to be flown any time firing is being conducted on the range involved. The rifle pennant need not be raised for pistol bay activity nor does the pistol bay pennant need to be flown for rifle range activities.
They do not need to be flown if activities not involving firing (e.g setup for a match, grass mowing, target maintenance), but if such activities are undertaken and then firing follows, the pennants must be raised before firing begins.
When the pennants are lowered, just wrap the provided bungee cord around the pennant to secure it to the flagpole – it’s not very elegant, but it works.
Stowing the Pennant When Firing is Complete
Please make use of this added safety feature whenever you are conducting firing activities at the ranges.
Thank you; FWRR Officers and Directors
