Critical Safety Guidelines:

Hummelstown Field and Stream Association runs a COLD RANGE!  Any failure to abide by this rule will result in disqualification.  This means DO NOT handle handguns anywhere on the grounds, except as follows.  Only use a Safe Table to case and uncase and/or handle, lube or repair handguns.  Please keep your handguns UNLOADED and CASED or holstered upon arrival and at all times on the grounds.  No Exceptions!  DO NOT HANDLE FIREARMS AT YOUR VEHICLE!  If you wish to transition to a holster on the club grounds, please bring your CASED and UNLOADED handgun to the Safe Table which will be located in the clubhouse next to registration.  NO AMMO is allowed on a Safe Table!  If you do not know where the Safe Table is – PLEASE ASK!  Your ammo may be handled and loaded into magazines or speed loaders at any OTHER table or place EXCEPT a Safe Table.  Once at a Safe Table you may uncase and holster your UNLOADED firearm.  Please keep your magazine out of your handgun, and DO NOT remove your firearm from your holster or attempt to load it until on the firing line and then only AFTER you are specifically instructed to do so by the Safety Officer.  There will be another Safe Table down at the ranges and the same rules apply there.  Handguns in holsters must have the ACTION CLOSED and the hammer down/decocked.  Handguns in the case must be hammer down/decocked OR if you prefer to keep the action open you must use an Empty Chamber Indicator.  DO NOT carry your handgun in your holster with the action open.  DO NOT carry your handgun in your holster with a magazine inserted.
