Is there an Appleseed Emergency Plan for events, say at the ASC (IL)? Does the Aurora Sportsman Club have a range emergency plan we'd follow? The range rules mention emergency procedures being posted...guess I've never looked for them.

BBE,
Do not know the layout of IL ranges, but I do carry colored smoke grenade and look for a designated landing area for life flight if a need should arise for any type emergency. My home range is approx 30 minutes to nearest hospital and when the roads were put in they followed a snake :o The chopper could easily be in and out before a squad could arrive.
Just another thought :)
In His Grip,
Ratchett
For incident reporting, CSHR has a post about "Medical Information, I hope never to have to use"
they have a AED in the club house also
