In consideration of my participation in this event, sponsored by The Cure Starts Now, an Ohio not-for-profit (“CSN”) and involving the use of firearms, I acknowledge and agree to the following Waiver and Release:

I acknowledge that activities utilizing firearms (“Firearms Activities”) have inherent risks, hazards, and dangers for anyone, that cannot be eliminated. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE RISKS, HAZARDS, AND DANGERS INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION:

1. The risk of handling firearms and being near others who are in possession of firearms;

2. The risk of ear damage, from noise or otherwise;

3. The risk of eye damage from debris, clay target fragments, shot shell pellets or otherwise;

4. The risk of other bodily injury from ammunition, targets, target fragments, trap equipment and shot shell pellets;

5. The risk of bodily injury from walking in rugged country, including encounters with wildlife, insects and watercourses;

6. The risks of bodily injury associated with inclement weather conditions; and

7. The risks of property damage.

For eye and ear protection, it is recommended that you use earplugs and protective eyeglasses. If you do not use appropriate eye and ear protection, you are doing so by choice and at your own peril. It is your responsibility to bring appropriate eye and ear protection.

I understand the risks, hazards, and dangers described above or otherwise resulting from Firearms Activities. I have had the opportunity to review and consider all such risks, hazards and damages. I understand that these activities may require good physical conditioning and a degree of skill and knowledge. I believe I am in good physical condition and that I possess the requisite skill and knowledge, both of which are necessary to safely engage in these activities.

I understand that as a participant I have responsibilities and I acknowledge that my participation in this activity is purely voluntary. No one is forcing me to participate and I elect to participate in despite of the risks, hazards and dangers inherent to trap and/or sporting clays target shooting.
