When removing or securing a firearm from a case/bag, the case/bag must be brought to the confines of the shooting booth to do so. Never handle firearms in the area behind the shooting booth. Firearms must be cased or holstered in this area even if they are just being moved between lanes.

They will supervise the retrieval of that firearm once on the firing line. The firearm may not be re-holstered without notifying RANGE staff. Practice draws are prohibited.
14. Firearms and ammunition used in the range are subject to inspection at any time.
