* CleanFire ammo is now required for the league and all live-fire classes to reduce airborne contamination from lead-based primers. The on-command shooting during classes takes longer for smoke and airborne lead compounds to be exhausted from the range than the random firing during recreational shooting hours. This is a serious health risk for shooters, instructors, and range officers. Ammunition purchased at the range will meet this requirement. If you bring your own ammunition, ensure it has toxic-metal-free primers and powders with FMJ or TMJ bullets. Examples of suitable ammunition are Speer CleanFire (CF in the product name), Winchester "WinClean" ammo, or PMC eRange ammo.
