Gun Range Rules – Mantua Range

  1. Hours of operation: daylight hours, 7-days a week. (night shoot contact Al first).
  2. The 240-yd bench IS NO MORE. The covered 100-yd position is the only long range one!
  3. If that disappoints you, thank those who apparently cannot understand the difference between "Range Safety Officer", which is not to be confused with "Rangemaster".
  4. The basic Range Rules follow:
All shooters at Mantua must either be BEWF Designated Rangemaster, OR be accompanied and supervised by a certified BEWF Rangemaster. No exceptions.

  1. You must stop and sign in (or out) at the 100-yd info-box when entering (or leaving) the range.
  2. The lower range is only for rifles, or for longer range pistol practice/sighting.
  3. On the lower range, you may only shoot at the established 80 and 100 yd targets.
  4. The 80 and 100 yd targets both have noticible berms behind them for safety.
  5. Do NOT shoot at anything on the flat areas of the lower range, use the 80 and 100 yds.
  6. Only paper or cardboard targets properly posted are allowed.
  7. Clay pidgeons are not recommended because of the proximity to public highway.
  8. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
  9. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
  10. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
  11. Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

  13. All shooting must be accomplished in a safe and responsible manner.
    1. All firearms behind the firing line must be unloaded.
    2. All shooting must be done within the marked shooting lanes, and at the established target areas with proper targets..
    3. The pistol range can not be used while the rifle range is in use. There is a one hour time limit for each range if others are waiting. Members will need to alternate use if both ranges are needed.
    4. All firing will cease and firearm actions will be cleared whenever targets are being changed or inspected along the firing line.
    5. Hearing and eye protection are recommended.
    6. Safety and common sense must be practiced at all times.

  15. Each shooter is responsible for cleaning up brass, targets, etc., in his area after shooting.
  16. All persons shooting must be range masters and possess a valid membership card, or be accompanied by a range master during open hours. Non-members must be cleared before entering and pay the $5.00 daily usage fee. Unaccompanied non-members are trespassers and are subject to prosecution.

The continued use of this facility is dependent upon the actions of the members of the BEWF. Improper use could seriously jeopardize the future use of this range. Persons in violation of the above rules will have their day use or membership privileges terminated and may face prosecution.

 Tremonton Range 

The Tremonton Range is located at the top of the old county landfill/gravel pit in Tremonton. Exit freeway at Road Sheds. Go to the county road, northbound, on the west side of the freeway. Follow the access road west of the freeway to the next overpass north of the Road Sheds. Go across this overpass to the east side of the freeway where you will find a locked gate. Enter the gate, bear to the right around the hillside and go to the top of the mountain where you will find another locked gate. The firing range is just beyond the second locked gate.
A map will be added shortly.
