Range Waiver and Safety Rules Acknowledgment

The range waiver with the four safety rules in it, the eye and ear protection requirement, and the period it covers.

Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Name your trade during setupshooting ranges and gun clubsand this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use. It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How this works for shooting ranges and gun clubs

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

business name · guest name · date · covers period · protection standard · permitted ammunition

6 blanks. They are filled once per send, from what you already know or from your own system through the API. They go into the document; they do not change its wording, and what somebody signed is the version they were shown.

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

check what a range may and may not release where you operate, and whether the state has a shooting-range protection statute with wording of its own.

check what the range is required to ask, record and refuse where you operate, and how long any record must be kept.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.

The document

The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

Range Waiver and Safety Rules Acknowledgment

business nameguest name, on date. This covers my use of the range, today and on the visits this covers: covers period.

1. The four rules. I have read and will follow them every second I am on the line. Treat every firearm as loaded. Never point a firearm at anything I am not willing to destroy. Keep my finger off the trigger until my sights are on the target and I have decided to fire. Be certain of my target and what is beyond it.

2. The range's own rules. I will follow the posted rules and every instruction from the range safety officer immediately and without argument, including the commands to cease fire, to unload and show clear, and to stand back from the bench. I understand that a range safety officer may end my session at any time and that no refund is owed if they do.

3. Eyes and ears. I will wear eye and hearing protection meeting protection standard at all times past the line marked, and so will anybody I bring to watch.

4. Firearms and ammunition. The firearms I bring are lawfully mine to possess and are in safe working order. I will use only ammunition the range permits: permitted ammunition. No steel core, no tracer, no incendiary, and nothing the posted rules exclude.

5. Handling and the line. Firearms are cased until I am at the bench and cased again before I leave it. Handling happens only at the firing line, never behind it, and never while anyone is downrange.

6. Alcohol and drugs. I have not been drinking and am not under the influence of anything that affects judgement or coordination, and I understand I will be asked to leave if that turns out not to be true.

7. The risks. Shooting is loud, produces heat, hot brass, fragments, ricochets and airborne lead, and injury is possible even when everything is done correctly. I accept those risks for myself, and I will wash before eating.

8. Release. To the extent the law where business name operates allows, I release business name, its owners and staff from claims for injury, loss or damage arising from my ordinary use of the range, other than claims arising from their negligence or misconduct that the law does not let a release cover.

9. Eligibility. I am not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm or from being on this range.

By signing I confirm that I have read this, had the chance to ask about it, and meant to sign it.
