Experienced shooters are strongly encouraged to provide coaching and support to new shooters (when it is appropriate to do so). Be courteous to other shooters. ACADEMI is our gracious host so all competitors will assist in range preparation and clean-up. Leave the range facility cleaner than how you found it.
Respect the wildlife; there is plenty on ACADEMI property and will not be harmed.
We are always looking for volunteers to help run the matches! If interested, please let the Match Director or any range official know. Help with setup and take down of the targets are always needed.
