In consideration for my being a member, guest or my participation in any of the activities at the Bigfork Gun Club, Inc. ( hereafter referred to as BFGC), I agree to the following Waiver, Release and Hold Harmless Agreement.

I acknowledge my being present near discharging firearms of various types and calibers has certain inherent risks, hazards, and dangers for anyone. These risks, hazards and dangers can be managed, but never eliminated, on an active and public gun range facility, and in my understanding includes, in part and without limitation, the following :
(1) The risk of handling firearms and being near others who have firearms in their possession.
(2) The risks of ear and eye damages. Eye and ear protection is always required. Shooting without them is at my own risk.
(3) The risk of injury from ammunition, clay targets, shot pellets, bullets, bullet fragments, bounce backs and/or ricochets.
(4) Physical presence in rugged country, including encounters with wildlife, animals and insects.
(5) Varying weather conditions, loss of footing from ground obstacles, ice or snow, or low hanging roof clearances.

The Officers and Board of Directors of the BFGC openly offers the opportunity to discuss the above with them. I understand BFGC activities may require good physical conditioning and a degree of skill and knowledge, characteristics I believe I possess in order for me to participate in any activities safely. I understand I have the responsibility to exercise reasonable caution and safe gun handling practices at all times, and to obey all posted rules of the BFGC, whose services and equipment and facilities I use voluntarily and WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE INHERENT RISKS, HAZARDS, AND DANGERS INVOLVED, AND HEREBY ASSUME AND ACCEPT ALL RISKS OF INJURY, PARALYSIS, OR DEATH.

In consideration of being a member, or guest of the BFGC and/or my competing in, participation or simply observing or attending any event conducted on the BFGC property, and in recognition of the best efforts of all individuals involved to maintain reasonably safe conditions and rules, I agree to assume any and all personal risk(s) involved. Furthermore, I affirm and understand that I for myself, my family, heirs, successors, executors and subrogees, hereby knowingly and intentionally waive, release, indemnify and hold harmless the BFGC, all of its Officers, Directors, instructors, employees, agents, members, including match officials, volunteers, or any event sponsors involved in organizing or conducting events of any type or nature from any & all personal injury or property damage(s) I might incur. Additionally, I waive all present and future right(s) to any & all claims, actions, causes of action(s), legal suits and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) against the BFGC and the aforementioned individuals. Such waiver by me includes NEGLIGENCE of any kind or nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, any damages, losses, injury, paralysis or death to me as a result of my attending any event, or my use of any BFGC services or equipment while present on BFGC properties. Additionally, I understand I’m fully responsible for any injury to myself or others and any property damages I may have caused while at the BFGC facility.

Undersigned expressly agrees this instrument is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law, and that if any provision of this instrument is held invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be impaired thereby.  No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of this instrument is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statue or otherwise.  The election of any one or more remedy hereunder by the BFGC, or any of its Officers or Directors shall not constitute any waiver as such and to their rights to pursue other available remedies in accordance with Montana State Law.

FINALLY,  I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ, AND CLEARLY UNDERSTAND, AND VOLUNTARILY SIGN THIS WAIVER, RELEASE and HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT.
