Membership
of Singapore Rifle
Association
 |
Our
membership consists of range from entrepreneurs and business people to
professionals from the legal, finance and medical professions. We
strive to grow our membership with responsible and safe people, who are
like-minded in the discipline and safe enjoyment of firearms and the
shooting sports. We have a strong view on those with unsafe and
irresponsible behavior and our ethics and discipline sub-committee
ensures that the rules and regulations of the ranges are kept at all
times for safety and orders sake.
You may choose to shoot recreationally (aka just for fun) or you may
choose to participate in the formal competition, either way you are
very welcome to join us as long as you keep the 4 basic rules of
firearm safety namely:
| • |
Always treat a gun
as if it is loaded |
| • |
Place your finger on the trigger only
when your sights are on target |
| • |
Be sure of your target and what lies
behind it |
| • |
Never point a firearm at yourself or
another person |
|
We have
never ever had a safety incident at the Singapore Rifle Association and
fully intend to keep it that way. Be aware that club safety officers
and staff must be obeyed instantly at all times especially on issues of
range and personal safety and behavior. The ranges are shared by
everyone and it is every member's duty to be considerate to others who
share the same facilities.
