CAMERA SURVEILLANCE REVELATIONS
Surveillance cameras were installed on our ranges to help provide a degree of security to protect the Cedar Hills Gun Club against vandalism and perhaps liability in the event of an accident.  It is surprising to view what has been happening in full view of the cameras already in place.  Recently viewed activity in the indoor range revealed a couple of circumstances that should be addressed and corrected.  Be further advised that not all instances of infringements on this range will be noted here.  Two cases are noted below.
It appeared that a family recently using the indoor range had a small child with them who was not wearing either eye or hearing protection.  Neither were the adults!!  Viewing showed that suppressed guns were being fired.  The sign posted on the door to the indoor range and on the wall inside the range clearly state that EYE AND EAR PROTECTION IS REQUIRED.  There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this requirement, even if suppressors are used or the non-shooter is blind and not concerned about vision loss.  Ricochets have occurred even with paper targets.
In another instance, a father and two teenage sons were using the indoor range.  While the father was down -range, at least one of the sons was back at the shooting benches and appeared to be fiddling with one of the guns.    There is to be NO HANDLING OF FIREARMS WHEN SOMEONE IS DOWNRANGE, whether the guns are loaded or not.  
PLEASE REMEMBER – SAFETY FIRST!!!!!  YOU ARE ON CAMERA!!!!
