Range Guests
The MFGA range is ‘members-only’ but we also support the promotion of recreational target shooting and encourage family and youth participation. We welcome members’ guests to the range, but some specific conditions apply for guests:
● We are waiving the guest fee.
● All guests must be registered on-line 24 hours in advance (minimum the day before) for insurance purposes;
● A member can bring IMMEDIATE FAMILY members as many times as they wish at no cost as long as the guest is registered on-line;
● IMMEDIATE FAMILY means spouse/partner, parent, grandparents, offspring, grandchild;
● During a membership year, a member can register no more than three other range guests who are non-immediate family members;
● Unregistered guests will be instructed to leave the range;
● Members cannot bring guests for the purposes of sighting-in rifles;
● Those who wish to sight-in must obtain a sighting permit and pay the required $25 to the MFGA.
● MFGA members may bring up to two guests per visit.
● The member must assume all responsibility for the safety and conduct of their guest.
● An ‘observer’ or ‘non-shooter’ is considered as a guest and must be registered;
● Anyone bringing a minor or child must ensure the minor or child does not disturb other users, or pose a safety concern to themselves or others. Minors or children must be either youth members of the MFGA or registered as a guest.
● Members must give the guest a safety briefing using the posted range rules as a guide before allowing them to shoot.
● The member and their guest(s) may only occupy one shooting bench as priority always goes to MF&GA members.
● The MF&GA Guest Form will be the only form accepted by the MFGA to register a guest and the form must be submitted in advance of taking any guest(s). Form at https://www.monctonfishandgame.com/becoming-a-member
● The MFGA is a not-for-profit organization. Any member found to be using the MFGA guest privilege for personal profit or falsifying guest records or forms will be suspended for a calendar year and upon a second occurrence suspended permanently.
● Members must sign-in the range logbook with date, time, membership # and indicate “plus guest”. (no names required)
● As a lease condition to have public access, the Department of Energy and Resource Development refers individuals to our range for "sighting in" activities. This is available at a cost of $25 per day, per person (see link above). Sighting-in permits are issued for Monday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons only and have their own rules attached.
