AMMO POLICY: Absolutely NO tracers, armor-piercing, steel-core or steel-jacketed ammunition is allowed on any of our ranges. This includes ‘bi-metal’ marked ammunitions. Unfortunately most of the economy European loads from Wolf, Brown Bear, Silver Bear, Tula, etc. are included in this restricted group. Simple test: place a magnet on your projectile, if it sticks to any portion, then the projectile contains steel and not just the softer malleable metals such as lead, brass and copper that are allowed. You are still welcome to bring your own ammo to shoot in your guns (not the rentals) as long as the ‘no steel’ guideline is met. ALL outside ammo will be inspected at check-in.
Please read up on the rules for AMERICAN SHOOTERS INDOOR GUN RANGE. Those seen breaking the rules will either be warned or immediately asked to leave by the RSO. Failure to abide by any safety rule may result in a reprimand or your removal from the range.
