EXHIBIT B Leagues The Range will organize and promote clubs to be based from the Indian River County Shooting Range. Staff will also run registered tournaments of all types. Leagues and clubs provide a great initial customer base to the Range. Industry experience has shown that when gone unchecked, leagues have the capacity to financially damage retail ranges. League members often expect unrealistic discounts and can direct business away from the Range by selling to new initiates "out of their garage" Leagues also tend to occupy the Range during high usage periods, restricting the availability of the facilities for other shooters. The Range is not averse to allowing the formation of shooting leagues and management is a strong supporter of these activities, but the leagues will be strictly limited to ensure there is no negative impact to the perception of other range patrons or the Range business entity. Shooting Types The Indian River County Shooting Range will offer pistol, rifle and shotgun shooting of all types including air gun and archery. The types of shooting allowed on the Range have been identified in previous sections. These activities are consistent with the engineering and safety design specifications of the Range. The engineered range safety features will not be by passed during specialized shooting activities such as action pistol, cowboy or plinking. Any activity forward of the static shooting lines will be closely monitored and controlled by the range management. All courses of fire will need to be pre -approved by the range management before any firing can commence. Trainin The Range will offer Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission Hunter Education and Bow Hunting courses as well as National Rifle Association safety classes. Indian River County Shooting Range's commitment to safety and training opportunities has been accentuated throughout the plan. The Range will constantly strive to offer the latest and most effective training opportunities to the patrons. As with the shooting opportunities listed above, no training program or class will undermine the safety features engineered into the Range.
