I think it is more of a case that it isn't in writing..lol.
Anyways, Stormbringer is pretty well versed in the range operators handbook....although, 2 years ago I had this very conversation with 2 of the CFO Range inspectors over a shotgun match I was holding at EESA, they relented on not having to shroud steel for shotgun while using shot only....no slugs, due to people maybe using jacketed slugs

You should be checking with your club exec. Regardless of the range guidelines inspectors and clubs put in place their own rules.
Is this a baffled range? if yes section 8.11 in the range guidelines if no section 4.11.
I would be interested in filing for a reference hearing....shrouding makes it that much more expensive for a club, and does sfa! from a safety stand point!
Its available in pdf from the RCMP. The section numbers are different in the pdf 4.10 and 8.10 I believe.
I'll see if I can find the link.

if you google it you can find the pdf directly.
if you have sufficient side berms or walls, and rear berms the NSA provisions should not apply to your range. if you do not have those things, then really, you shouldn't even be able to shoot on the range as the bullets are more dangerous than any ricochet could ever be. This is over reaching by the CFO. As well the range construction guidelines, are just that, guidelines, they are not law. If enough clubs back there get together, you can beat this.
The info you're looking for should be written in your range approval from the CFO.
This document outlines what activities the ranges are approved for.
As a club exec. I'm surprised you don't have yours committed to memory.
I have a copy of the CFO approval for one of the clubs I belong to and yes... It mentions "sheltered steel".
The purpose of sheltering or shrouding steel is simply to prevent projectiles/shrapnel from leaving the range... You may be allowed to go without being that you're not really near anything that might be affected.
