Lead Safety
KEEPING THE LEAD OUT

We understand that keeping lead dust at bay is a concern for responsible firearm enthusiasts. That's why we've implemented a strict lead control system that doesn't just protect you while you're at the range; it also prevents lead from being tracked home. These precautionary measure help maintain a contamination-free zone and safeguards both our patrons and the premises.

  •  State-of-the-art air filtration systems: We employ the best air system available in every shooting bay.  A complete air exchange is performed every 90 seconds, causing lead particles to be swiftly and efficiently pushed downrange, away from you and your gear.
  • Regular Cleaning Schedules: Our employees ensure lead contamination prevention through meticulous adherence to a regular cleaning schedule, coupled with the use of D-lead cleaner, effectively maintaining a safe and clean environment. This proactive approach not only safeguards our workers but also underscores our commitment to environmental responsibility.
  • Sticky Mats: Sticky mats are employed at our facility to effectively eliminate any lead debris from customers' footwear before they exit, ensuring a clean and safe environment. This precautionary measure helps maintain a contamination-free zone and safeguards both our patrons and the premises.
  • D-Lead Hand Soap: We stock lead hand soap in all of our bathrooms, ensuring easy access to a thorough hand and face cleaning after their shooting sessions. 

 

How You Can Prevent Lead Contamination:

  1. When you leave the range blow your nose, and wash your face and hands immediately with cold soapy water. Thoroughly cleanse the facial area around your mouth, particularly if you have a mustache or beard. And for obvious reasons, blow your nose before you wash your face.
  2.  Try to wear an outer garment, like a jumpsuit or coverall, which you can either have washed after each range session or leave in your locker. This will prevent carrying the lead dust on your clothing into your car and home.
  3.  Likewise, have a pair of shoes to change into after you get off the range. If you do go home wearing the same outer clothes you wore on the range, change them immediately, and put them in the washer. 
  4. Washing your hair before bedtime is also a good idea. Your hair can hold a lot of dust, and you will transfer it to your pillow every night. Again, these precautions are particularly important if you have young children at home. 
  5. And finally, have your blood lead level checked every six months to make sure the precautions you are observing are adequate.

At the Bellevue Gun Club, safety is our utmost priority, and our commitment to ensuring a secure shooting environment is unwavering. Range safety rules are not just guidelines; they are the foundation upon which our club thrives.

With every member and guest who steps onto our premises, we emphasize the significance of adhering to these rules. Our range safety protocols are meticulously crafted to safeguard the well-being of all individuals on the firing line, fostering an atmosphere of responsibility, respect, and professionalism.

Range Rules

  2. Everyone using the range must be 18 years old or older and is required to know these rules and to sign a liability waiver. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by his or her legal guardian who is required to supervise the minor at all times while the minor is on the range., and to sign a liability waiver with the minor and on the minor’s behalf.
  3. No one is allowed inside the range area unless they have read these range rules, signed the liability waiver, and been assigned a lane by Bellevue Gun Club staff. Do not change lanes without first receiving a new lane assignment from range staff.

  7. Any equipment or other personal items left unattended on the range or in the store is done so at the owner's risk. After 30 days all items become Bellevue Gun Club property.
  8. Pregnant women are strongly discouraged from shooting. No late pregnancy shooters will be allowed on the range due to health concerns from sound percussions. 
  9. Most center-fire rifles or carbines are not permitted, except those 7.62 x 39, 5.56, .223 and below.
  10. Most center-fire handguns are permitted, as are shotguns, and .22 caliber rim-fire rifles, as long as the ammunition muzzle velocity remains under 2,000 feet per second. No bottleneck ammunition, with the exception of .357 SIG, may be fired – even through handguns. (pistol restrictions do not apply to Silver, Gold or Platinum Members) – No steel shot, bird shot, steel cased, steel jacket, tracer, explosive, or metal-piercing ammunition is permitted.

If you are unclear on this, or have any questions, be sure to ask a Bellevue Gun Club employee before taking the firearm/ammunition onto the range. 
  11. After payment at the counter, put on your ear and eye protection and enter the range through the range door. Put your equipment at the booth assigned to you and clamp the target to the holder.

Please do not run the target carrier home full speed, you will be held responsible for damage to the target carrier.

Any person seen firing at lights, baffles, carriers, walls, or any other range property or equipment will be removed from the range, barred from future use of Bellevue Gun Club facilities, and reported to the proper authorities for appropriate action. You will be held accountable and may have to pay for any damage you cause by not following these range rules.
