At Etowah Valley Sporting Clays, safety is our top priority. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or stepping onto the course for the first time, understanding and following proper gun safety ensures a fun and worry-free experience for everyone.
Top Safety Tips to Keep in Mind
✅ Always Keep Muzzle Control – Your barrel should always be pointed in a safe direction, whether loaded or unloaded. Never point at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
✅ Eye & Ear Protection is a Must – The thrill of breaking clays is unbeatable, but protecting your vision and hearing is just as important. We require all shooters and spectators to wear safety glasses and hearing protection at all times.
✅ Know Your Ammo – Only use the correct gauge ammunition for your shotgun. Double-check before loading, and never mix different gauges in your gear.
✅ Load Only When Ready to Shoot – Keep your shotgun unloaded until you’re in position and ready to call “PULL.” This simple habit prevents accidental discharges.
✅ Follow All Range Rules & Instructor Guidance – Our team is here to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. Listen to instructions, respect fellow shooters, and keep safety top of mind.
We’re committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and exciting environment for shooters of all levels. Whether you’re here for a friendly competition or a corporate event, these safety principles help keep the experience smooth and stress-free.
