Participation in Firearms and Safety Training
I understand that participation in firearms training,
shooting-range activities, personal safety instruction,
defensive training, and related activities involves inherent
and potentially serious risks.
These risks may include, but are not limited to, accidental
discharge of a firearm, firearm malfunction, ricochet,
exposure to loud noise, exposure to lead or other materials,
falls, physical exertion, actions of other participants,
equipment failure, property damage, bodily injury,
permanent disability, or death.
Voluntary Participation & Assumption of Risk
I voluntarily choose to participate in activities offered,
conducted, or coordinated by Iron Belle Defense. I understand
that no firearms training or range environment can be made
completely risk-free.
I knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume the risks
associated with my participation, whether those risks are
known or unknown, inherent or otherwise, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
Release of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, I
RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO HOLD IRON BELLE DEFENSE, ITS
OWNER, INSTRUCTORS, CONTRACTORS, REPRESENTATIVES,
AFFILIATES, HOST FACILITIES, RANGE FACILITIES, AND THEIR
RESPECTIVE OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS LIABLE FOR
CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, OR EXPENSES
ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO MY PARTICIPATION IN THE
ACTIVITIES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CLAIMS
ARISING FROM ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THAT A CLAIM CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED OR RELEASED.
Safety Rules & Instructor Commands
I agree to comply with all firearm safety rules, range rules,
instructor commands, facility requirements, and applicable
laws. I understand that Iron Belle Defense may immediately
stop my participation or remove me from an activity if my
conduct is considered unsafe or inappropriate.
Personal Responsibility
I understand that I am responsible for my own actions and
decisions during training. I agree to immediately notify the
instructor if I do not understand an instruction, believe an
unsafe condition exists, or become unable to participate
safely.
Firearms, Ammunition & Equipment
If I bring or use my own firearm, ammunition, holster, or
other equipment, I accept responsibility for ensuring that
the equipment is appropriate for the activity and in safe
working condition.
If Iron Belle Defense or another party provides equipment
for my use, I agree to use that equipment only as instructed
and for its intended purpose.
No Guarantee of Outcome
I understand that participation in or completion of training
does not guarantee any particular level of skill, safety
outcome, certification, license, qualification, or ability
to successfully respond to a real-world incident.
