      1. “CEASE-FIRE” is the command used on the range to stop all shooting/firing. When you hear this, stop shooting IMMEDIATELY and await further instruction.
      2. Empty Chamber Flag/Chamber Indicator is a small piece of brightly colored plastic that is included with all new firearms. It is designed to fit into the chamber of a firearm and stick out the ejection port to help confirm the firearm is in fact unloaded during “cease-fire”. If you don’t have one, don’t worry. We have plenty and with a little bit of care they last forever.
  8. When transferring firearms to and from the vehicle to the shooting bench, please have the action open, magazines removed, and muzzle pointed up.
