Non-TASC members participating in the match will only be allowed at shoots accompanied by a sponsoring member. It is the sponsoring members responsibility to ensure the their guest(s) receive a formal safety briefing from a club officer and to personally guide them through the match.

Non-TASC members wishing to observe only are welcome, but sponsors are responsible for them just as if they were participating in the match.

This club is for the enjoyment of each member, but the safety of all members overrides personnel fun. We must all act responsibly. Everyone shooting in a match is expected and required to assist in setting up, and tearing down, setting steel, patching targets, and cleaning up. This makes it possible for all of us to enjoy the shooting.
