SWGASA Range The Southwest Georgia Shooting Association is an NRA affiliated club and operates the range near Baconton, GA. Also a classroom with bathroom.

We host shooting events and are open to members and guests. We promote safe fi****ms use and host safety classes. The range is open for members and their qualified guests 7 days a week during daylight hours. The range is not open to the public with the exception of certain matches and events. The public is able to sign up for these and pay a fee. All other use is for paid members or groups contrac

ted to have access. Please view the pictures in Photo Albums to see the range. Membership is $195 per year for an individual and $245 for a family. Members must attend and pass orientation (offered monthly) before utilizing the range. Contact Dennis Vann at [email protected] regarding membership. We have a 450 yard rifle range, covered shooting positions, with paper targets from 25 to 300 yards and steel targets from 135-450.

Regarding the LEFT side of the YORK range, effective immediately:

The pictured barrels/cones constitute the forward firing line.

A rear firing line will be established, and permanent markings will be made very soon.

Very soon, permanent lines will be marked on the right (paper) side as well.

There are 40 targets, some of which are multiple plates... 52 plates in all. From 7 to 40 yards. You can find something to shoot. Many do not require resetting. Several other targets will be emplaced as they are repaired... leave them where they are.

Do not go forward of this line except to paint or reset targets.

Do not shoot - or move latteraly... outside of the 'box' / firing line.

Do not move the targets. They are emplaced to limit splash zones, in consideration of target type/use and in relation to berms, angles and safety. They may be moved by club officers in the future. If a hazzard is noted, contact the BOD.

By moving WITHIN the firing line box, every target is clear to shoot. Some far targets are less obscured when near targets are down.

Take particular care NOT to shoot at or hit targets that are DOWN... this is a ricochet hazzard.

Take care not to shoot target posts, frames, chains, etc. Do not shoot moving target posts or canbles.

This will not prohibit the future use of the YORK range for events wherein the steel targets may be moved by club officials/Range Officers, or with permission by instructors or Match Directors. Otherwise... Don't move them.

No rifles, AR or AK pistols, PDWs, rifle calibers, calibers with a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps or greater are allowed on the steel targets on YORK.

EYE protection is required to be WORN at all times... NOT just when shooting... in the vicinity of this range. When downrange, you are in the splash zone of Coleman and Sutton ranges.

Today is a good day to get out your orientation pkg and review it.
Our pages have files that can be accessed to view the documents that every member must be familiar with.

There are instructions & a guide for proper range use in the sign in log. Sign in and out, legibly, and register your guests. No one is allowed on the property without a release of liability.

Signs at special ranges list their function and restrictions.

Centerfire rifles may ONLY be used on steel targets on the COLSON range.

Case in point: The Davis range has NO targets or berms safe for centerfire cartridges. 22 RIMFIRE ONLY.
The grass is cut shorter there, as it is flat, free of rocks, walked on a lot and there is no brass laying around... until today.

Remember: If you're not SURE, ASK. Pick up the phone. If you can't ask, WAIT.

Also, NO alcoholic beverages are permitted on the property.

Take your paper (including sticky) targets down and put into burn bbls. Food trash goes there too.

The members responsible for this most recent damage have been identified and counseled, so no need to report it.

Thanks to the members who have reported some other recent issues.

Thank you for your attention...
