Common Violations

Please avoid these most common violations.


Incorrect Uncasing of Firearms

Do NOT uncase or unholster any firearm unless it is on the bench.

Correct Uncasing of Firearms

Uncase or unholster at the firing line/shooting bench. No exceptions. If your group is using multiple lanes, you must case firearms prior to moving them between lanes.

Incorrect Muzzle Direction

Do NOT point any firearm in any direction other than downrange and directly at the target or backstop. Do not point them upwards, downwards, towards a wall, or in the direction of yourself or anyone else. Only point your firearm(s) downrange and towards your target and/or the backstop.

Correct Muzzle Direction

Always point firearms downrange and towards your target or backstop. This includes when you are holding the firearm, loading a firearm, shooting a firearm, or resting it on a bench.

Incorrect Thumb Placement

Avoid crossing your thumbs at all times (excluding revolvers) to avoid the risk of serious injury.

Correct Thumb Placement

Both thumbs are inline with one another and alongside the frame of the firearm. If you are not familiar with proper thumb placement, consult with a Shooter's World Team Member.

Incorrect Movement of Firearms

This is referred to as "walking a firearm" and is not permitted. Firearms may never leave the bench unless unloaded and cased or holstered. Also, if your group is using multiple lanes, you must unload and case firearms prior to moving them between lanes.

Correct Movement of Firearms

Always unload and case or holster your firearm before moving it anywhere. This includes unpacking firearms upon arrival, packing up when leaving, or moving a firearm between lanes.

Participant's Signature

I have carefully read every provision of this document, I have had adequate time to review it and the opportunity to ask questions about anything I did not understand, and I am signing it freely and voluntarily, without any inducement or duress. I understand and agree to all of the rules and requirements outlined within this legally binding contract between me ("Participant") and Shooter's World and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their owners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, range safety officers, instructors, volunteers, agents, landlords, insurers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Released Parties"). "Range Activities" means entering or remaining on the premises located at Phoenix, Arizona, Peoria, Arizona, or Goodyear, Arizona (the "Facility"); handling, loading, discharging, cleaning, or observing firearms and ammunition; renting firearms or equipment; attending any class, league, competition, or event; and using any parking area, retail area, classroom, or restroom at the Facility. Furthermore, I will not use or operate any firearm in a manner that might be construed as dangerous or hazardous to myself or any other person at the Facility, including transporting, loading, unloading, casing, uncasing, holstering, or unholstering anywhere on the premises except on the firing line as outlined within this document. I agree to follow all range rules and every command of a range safety officer, including any "cease fire" command, immediately. I understand that the Released Parties may refuse service to, inspect the firearms and ammunition of, or remove from the Facility any person, at their sole discretion and without refund, for any safety concern. I acknowledge that I have received, or have been offered, a range safety briefing before shooting.


I represent that: (a) I am at least eighteen (18) years of age and have presented valid government- issued photo identification; (b) I am not prohibited by federal, state, or local law from possessing a firearm or ammunition, including under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) and Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 13-3101(A)(7); (c) I am not under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, controlled substances, or any medication that may impair my judgment or coordination; (d) I have no physical or mental condition that would make my participation unsafe for me or others; and (e) I have read, understand, and will comply with all posted and verbal range rules and the instructions of range staff.


I understand that Range Activities involve inherent and other risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken by me or the Released Parties. These risks include, without limitation:


(a) accidental or negligent discharge of a firearm by me, another participant, or range staff, resulting in gunshot wounds, permanent disability, or death; (b) ricochets, bullet fragments, "splatter," and debris returning from targets, backstops, baffles, walls, floors, ceilings, or target carriers; (c) ejected hot brass, shell casings, powder, and gases causing burns, eye injury, or startle reactions; (d) firearm or ammunition malfunctions, including squib loads, out-of-battery detonations, catastrophic failures, and failures of rented or personal equipment; (e) hearing loss, tinnitus, or other injury from noise and concussive blast, even when hearing protection is worn; (f) exposure to lead, other heavy metals, and combustion byproducts through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact; (g) slips, trips, and falls on floors, shooting benches, uneven outdoor terrain, or brass on the ground; (h) heat, sun, dust, insects, wildlife, and weather at outdoor ranges; (i) the acts or omissions of other participants and spectators, including failure to follow range rules; and (j) the negligence of others, including the Released Parties, in supervising, instructing, inspecting, maintaining, or renting firearms, equipment, or premises.


Knowing the risks described above, including risks that are not specifically listed, I VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE AND I EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, ILLNESS, PERMANENT DISABILITY, AND DEATH arising out of Range Activities, whether caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise.


TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, I, FOR MYSELF AND MY HEIRS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, ESTATE, SPOUSE, AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO RANGE ACTIVITIES, WHETHER Page 9 CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES OR OTHERWISE.


If I am signing this form for a minor, I assume the inherent risks of the minor's Range Activities, release on his or her own behalf all claims I may have arising from the minor's participation, and agree to indemnify the Released Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising from the minor's Range Activities. This Agreement does not release claims arising from the gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of a Released Party, or any claim that cannot be released as a matter of Arizona law.
