Page 2 of 20 I.H. Rifle-Pistol Range SOP Chapter 1 Preamble The I.H. Lewis B. Whiting Rifle and Pistol Range has been a part of the Indian Hammock Hunt and Riding Club since the founding of the community. Over the years and still today, the range is enjoyed by the club membership and guests. May 11, 2006, the I.H. Board of Directors voted and approved modifications, expansion, and the range safety officer program to improve safety at the facility. The new improved range facility became operational in September of 2006.

Page 20 of 20 I.H. Rifle-Pistol Range SOP Appendix I From: "Fred L. Kretschmer" To: "John Lynch" Cc: "Clarissa Binkley" Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 3:43:46 PM Subject: Indian Hammock Hunt & Riding Club - Execution of Releases for Shooting Range John - During our telephone conversation last week, you made the two following inquiries: 1. Whether the range safety officer ( RSO ) should be required to execute the Club s release and indemnification agreement when the RSO is simply serving as the RSO and not engaged in discharging any firearms or otherwise utilizing the range facilities; and 2. Whether any guardian of a minor child (such as an aunt, uncle, grandparents or babysitter) may execute the Club s release and indemnification agreement on behalf of the minor child. You have provided me with a copy of the Appendix E Hold Harmless Form titled Release, Waiver, Indemnification, Hold Harmless and Assumption of the Risk Agreement I.H. Lewis B. Whiting Rifle & Pistol Range together with a copy of Appendix F Release Form for Minor (17 years of age or less) titled Release, Waiver, Indemnification, Hold Harmless & Assumption of the Risk Agreement (Minor) I.H. Lewis B. Whiting Rifle & Pistol Range, each hereinafter referred to as the Release. As to question #1, it is my opinion that the RSO should be required to execute the Release even if the individual is merely serving as the RSO and is not otherwise engaged in utilizing the range facilities. There are a variety of scenarios that occur whereby the RSO could have a claim against the Club if the RSO did not execute the Release. If, for instance, the RSO was injured by a stray bullet, and did not execute the Release, the RSO could have a cause of action against the Club for items such as the failure to properly construct a backstop, the failure to have the appropriate safety procedures in place, and/or other negligence by the Club in failing to protect persons from being injured by a stray or ricocheting bullet. All persons present at the range facility should be required to execute the Release. As to question #2, the person executing the Release on behalf of a minor child must be the parent or legal guardian of the minor child. An aunt, uncle, grandparent, babysitter or any other third person does not have the legal authority or ability to release any rights that the minor child may have. Both parents are generally deemed to be the natural guardians of their minor child. See Fla. Stat. 744.301 as attached. The only person other than a parent who could execute a release would be a person actually appointed as the legal guardian for the minor child pursuant to a court order. Please feel free to contact me directly in the event you have any questions after your review. Fred L.
