- Treat every gun as if it is loaded.

- Maximum barrel length is 34"

- If something doesn't seem right on the trap fields or lucky tarket line, you witness an unsafe act, or if you feel something is not safe, PLEASE SPEAK UP IMMEDIATELY AND CALL A CEASE FIRE!  It is better to be safe than sorry.  Always think safety.

- Members are responsible for their guests at Turkey Shoots.  Please ensure that they follow all Weslaco safety rules.

- Always listen to the range officer/puller/scorekeeper while on the trap field or lucky target line, they are the BOSS.

- Minimum Turkey Shoot Lucky Target choke diameter is .675".  This will be checked before every event by Bill M..  If you are shooting a new gun, or an old gun with new chokes, it's wise to have Bill check your choke diameter BEFORE shooting.  You'd hate to give back bacon wouldn't you?

- If there are any questions during a Turkey Shoot, please see the event chairman or his/her helpers for clarification.

- The event chairperson has the right to alter the prizes before or during an event.  Don't be a winer, it's free stuff.
