    Under no circumstances, whatsoever, is an athlete or their parents allowed to bring their firearm on school grounds, even if transporting the student to practice/competition. This is a Federal Law violation that will not be tolerated. Athletes must provide their own transportation.

  • Each coach has been trained and received the Range Safety Officer certification. All athletes must arrive with their shotgun cased, actions open, unloaded, and safety on. Athletes must have their shotgun checked before it is placed in the rack. 


    Only athletes who are on the line may hold their shotgun. They are allowed to have only one round in the shotgun with either 7.5 or 8 load (birdshot) and action open until it is their turn to fire.  


    Athletes are only allowed to use 7.5 or 8 load, nothing lower. 


    After the first safety violation, an athlete will be sent home immediately. After the second safety violation, an athlete will no longer be allowed to participate on the team.
