Please do not shoot the archery targets as they are very expensive, ($400) each and bullets lodged in the archery butt can damage the target arrows, which can cost up to $45 each.
Sign in sheets are located in the 100 yard house and inside by the kitchen. Guest fee is $5 per person and they must sign in and be accompanied by a member at all times.
