• Glass Bottles of any kind.
• Alcoholic Beverage containers: Liquor, Beer and Wine Bottles, Beer Cans, Wine Bottles and Boxes, and any other container not named above that contained an alcoholic beverage.
• Large Stuffed Animals: No seven foot Barney the Dinosaurs...It makes such a mess and never gets cleaned up.
• Aerosol Cans: Spray Paint, WD-40 cans, etc. Shaving cream ok...(until shot cans are left behind and we have to clean them up.)
• Hazmat Containers: Any container that held a hazardous material: Acetone, Gasoline, Oil, Thinner, Turpentine, Stain, Laquer, etc. 
• Automotive:  Car Doors, Auto windows, etc.

A NOTE ABOUT SPINNER TARGETS: These should be taken away from the range after shooting, whether serviceable or unservicable. The metal frames left on the range are not easily seen, and consequently, not well consumed by lawn mower blades...in fact they do quite a bit of damage to. not only blades, but mechanical parts on the deck. So please....remove them from the range.

PLEASE! Whatever is put on the range for shooting purposes, Needs to be remove from the range. Don't make it the sole responsibility of a few members to clean up.
