Before stepping onto the range at The Shooting Academy, it’s essential that all guests understand and complete the necessary documentation. These forms are in place to promote safety, ensure legal compliance, and create a seamless, professional experience for every visitor—whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth.
Why Documentation Matters
Shooting ranges, including The Shooting Academy, operate under strict state and federal regulations. To comply with safety standards and protect all parties involved, we require specific forms to be completed prior to using any part of the facility. These documents are not just paperwork—they’re a key part of a culture focused on responsibility and readiness.
What Documents Are Required?
All guests must complete and submit the following documents prior to participating in any activity on the range:
- General Liability Waiver – This form acknowledges the inherent risks of shooting sports and confirms that participants understand and accept those risks while on the premises.
- Range Rules Acknowledgment – Guests must confirm they have read and agree to abide by all posted range rules, including conduct, firearm handling procedures, and safety protocols.
- Identification Verification – All shooters must present a valid government-issued photo ID. This is required for age verification and legal compliance.
- Minor Consent Form – If a minor is participating, a parent or legal guardian must complete a separate consent and waiver form specific to youth participants.
How to Complete the Required Forms
To make the check-in process smooth and efficient, The Shooting Academy offers several convenient ways to complete your paperwork:
1. Online Submission
Many of our forms are available online. Guests are encouraged to complete waivers digitally before arriving to save time and avoid delays. Completing your forms ahead of time is especially helpful during busy weekends or special events.
2. In-Person Completion
If you’re unable to complete the forms ahead of time, no problem—our front desk staff will provide printed copies upon arrival. Please allow a few extra minutes to complete the paperwork before your range time begins.
What to Bring With You
To ensure a hassle-free visit, please bring the following items:
- A valid, government-issued photo ID
- Printed or digital copies of your completed waivers (if done in advance)
- Any applicable membership information or booking confirmations
- Consent form if accompanying a minor
Guests and Group Visits
If you’re bringing guests or planning a group visit, each participant must fill out their own set of documents. This includes non-shooting guests who will be present in range areas. We recommend group organizers reach out in advance to coordinate form completion and streamline check-in for larger parties.
How Often Do I Need to Complete These Forms?
Most waivers and documents remain on file for a defined period, usually up to one year. However, we may ask returning guests to re-sign forms if updates have been made to range policies or if it’s been more than 12 months since your last visit. Always check with our front desk staff if you’re unsure whether your paperwork is current.
Ensuring a Safe and Organized Experience
At The Shooting Academy, safety starts long before you enter the firing line. By completing all required documents and waivers, you help uphold the high standards of professionalism and safety that define our facility. Our team is committed to making sure every visit is organized, transparent, and aligned with best practices in firearms safety and training.
