Cold Range / Hot Range Procedures
These Procedures Apply to Ranges 3,4,5,6,7,9 and 9B

Cold Range Procedures

It is the shooters responsibility to determine range condition before firearms are removed from vehicles.
Cold Range begins with the command “The range is cold” followed by “Unload all firearms,” at which time shooters will unload their firearms, open actions, remove detachable magazines, insert empty chamber indicator flags, place their firearms on the shooting table and move behind the yellow line or 5 feet behind the firing line when there is no yellow line.
No firearms may be handled during a cold range condition. This includes firearms on the shooting tables, rifle racks, inside open carrying cases, holsters or any other location. No one handles a firearm for any reason.
All shooters on the range must check and confirm their firearms are in a safe condition before anyone moves forward of the firing line.
On command “The firing line is safe,” shooters may go downrange to service targets, pick up brass in front of the firing line, and move equipment to and from vehicles. All firearms previously cased, closed and placed behind the yellow line may be moved to and from vehicles. All equipment (i.e. targets, staplers, water bottles, etc.) needed during a cold line time should be stored behind the yellow line.
When moving from behind the yellow line to down-range, shooters will not touch anything on the tables forward of the yellow line. Shooters will not wait or stand in the area between the firing line and the yellow line.

Hot Range Procedures

Hot Range is when firearms may be handled and/or fired on the firing line.
Shooters will not go forward of the firing line for any reason during a hot range condition.
Before a range goes “hot” all shooters must be behind the yellow line, or 5 feet behind the firing line where there is no yellow line.
To ensure there is no one down range, the command “Is anyone down range?” is repeated at least twice. Double check for anyone downrange.
On command “Range is hot,” shooters may move forward of the yellow line. Shooters may uncase their firearms at this time but only at the firing line.
Uncased firearms may only be removed from vehicles in a safe condition (i.e. action open, detachable magazines removed and empty chamber indicators inserted). In addition, and in this condition, uncased firearms may only be removed from a vehicle and transported to the firing line when the range is “hot”.
Always keep muzzles pointed in a safe direction.
If a firearm is to be cleaned while on a range, the firearm will only be cleaned while the range is hot.
All firearms will be cased and uncased at the firing line table only on any range that has a table to shoot from, this includes on ranges 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 9B
