Range Rules
These rules govern every visit to the range, for members and guests alike. Members are responsible for their guests. Use of the range is at the sole risk of the user.
Current as of the 2026 membership application.
Impacts Are Restricted to the 300 & 600-Yard Berms
The Red Range Flag marks the firing line whenever the range is in use. Bullet impacts are permitted only in the 300-yard and 600-yard target berms. Setting up a target that would allow an impact outside either berm — or shooting in any other direction — is strictly prohibited.
The Full Rules
- THE WEB SITE WWW.CENTERVILLESMALLARMS.ORG WILL BE CHECKED for announcements on the main page, and the range schedule page every time before going to the range! Scheduled events have priority for range use. If law enforcement signs are out do not go through the gate or up the road. Call dispatch at 801-292-8441 request to talk to a Centerville officer about the range, they will call you for an update.
- NO LOANING OF RANGE KEY! Any member who duplicates or loans his range key or membership card shall be subject to expulsion.
- STEEL TARGETS. Cautious use of steel targets is permitted at the member’s sole risk. Centerville Small Arms Association assumes no responsibility for an individual member’s steel-target use. Members are strongly advised to keep a suitable fire extinguisher immediately available for sparks or fire and to exercise sound judgment. NO STEEL OR STEEL-CORE AMMUNITION IS ALLOWED ON THE RANGE.
- NO SHOOTING ON SUNDAY!
- NO SHOOTING BEFORE 8:00 am
- ALL SHOOTERS MUST REMOVE THEIR USED TARGETS, EXPENDED BRASS AND TRASH, and Put away anything they got out of the target storage containers.
- NO USE AFTER SUNSET. No Fires, No Camping.
- NO SHOTGUN, AUTOMATIC RIFLE, or LARGE CALIBERS (CheyTec or 50 BMG) will be fired.
- Incendiary, tracer, or armor piercing ammunition, or exploding targets shall not be used.
- The Red Range Flag at the 300 yard firing berm will be flown whenever the range is in use. The last one leaving is responsible for lowering the flag.
- No bullet impacts outside of the 3 range backstop areas located just behind each of the 2 target frame pits, or the berm directly in front of the 200/300 pits are permitted. This means no shooting to the east, and no shooting by the upper gate.
- No Firearms will be handled while persons are forward of the firing line.
- Range Fee for all guests must be paid in order to use the facilities. The Club member is responsible for collecting the daily use fee of $5.00 for each guest. Fees go in “Fee Can” in 200 Yard Practice Container.

Ask a board member before you head out — it is always cheaper than finding out at the range.
