Here is some Range Information !!!!

*All Weapons will be inspected by Range officer for safety/ functionality at the time of registration.
*During registration you will receive a rifle slip.
*To compete in events involving firearms each person must show their slip. This will ensure that everyone has registered and we are mitigating liabilities.
*NO SMOKING on the range
*Weapons will be checked upon entering and leaving ranges. This will help prevent any loaded weapons being in the camp.
*During the woods walk and Seneca run no weapons will be carried through the courses loaded.
*The shoot will be operated in groups of four or five moving through the course at a time. Each shooter of that group may load but not prime their flintlocks at each target. When it is their turn to shoot, they will then prime on the line and fire.
*NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 will be able to participate or carry a firearm at Fort Boonesborough. This is a state park rule.
* Range Officers have the final ruling in scoring judgments.
* Everyone has the responsibility to ensure each others safety. Anyone can make a safety call if carelessness is seen!!!

** The range will be made up of approx. 15 targets. There will be various distances and sized targets. The shots will all be ones that could be commonly made while hunting with your flintlock. Different shooting positions will also come into play.

The original Fort Boonesborough was built by Daniel Boone and his men in 1775
