New 200 Yard Flag Rule

Per Chief Range Officer Franco Scarpino:

With the completion of the new 200 yard sash pit we are introducing a revision to the 200 yard flag usage as outlined below do to a concern someone newly arriving at the line may not see anyone downrange at 200 yards because they are in the pit and believe the lights were left on by mistake.

The club will no longer be building 200 yard stationary target frames. Please use the new frames in the pit for mounting your targets.

Revised Procedure:

• When calling for a cold range to service 200 yard pit targets.

• Sound the buzzer three times.

• Turn on the red warning lights.

• If going to 200 yards place the 200 yard range flag on the baffle support pole as always.

  • This indicates persons are at 200 yards.

• If you go into the “sash pit” there is a new red flag which should be installed into a pipe at the top of the pit stairs.

  • This will indicate someone is in the pit.

• When done in the pit remove the flag back to it’s storage location.

• Remove the flag on the baffle pole.

• Sound the buzzer three times.

• Turn off the warning lights.

This is in addition to the flag placed up range just in front of the firing line.
