Digital Waivers for Shooting & Gun Ranges – OtterSign
Create, Send & Collect Waivers with Ease
Step 1 – Create
Upload your waiver, membership agreement, or training document—or build from scratch with our Waiver Builder. Use OtterSign’s preset fields for the firearms industry—like skill level, pregnancy disclosures, under-the-influence checks, and firearm safety rules.
Share waivers and membership agreements via SMS, email, QR code, or custom iPad kiosks. Guests can complete documents in advance or at check-in.
Step 3 – Collect
Track guest waivers instantly with smart flags for risky responses (e.g., intoxication, minors). All signatures are ESIGN/UETA compliant, tamper-evident, and securely stored.
Shooting Range Waivers, Memberships, and More
Paper slows down the check-in process and creates compliance headaches. OtterSign was built with custom presets for gun ranges and shooting facilities—capturing eligibility questions, enforcing the 4 Primary Rules of Firearm Safety, and managing everything from day-pass waivers to long-term membership agreements.
Each e-signature includes a full ESIGN/UETA audit trail—timestamps, IPs, and version history—for defensible records. With OtterText integration, you can automatically request Google reviews, send win-back offers, and trigger SMS reminders, all tied to your waiver and membership system.
OtterSign also integrates with the USCCA plugin, giving your customers instant access to free safety and training resources while reinforcing your commitment to responsible firearms use.

“We have been using paper waivers since we started National Cleanup Day because of the cost to go digital. Otter’s Non-profit freemium version allows us to reduce our paper consumption with volunteer waivers and collect donations at the same. Win, Win.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Are digital shooting range waivers legally binding?
OtterSign is an ESIGN/UETA-compliant e-signature platform that lawyers and insurers have approved for use. However, the enforceability of your waiver also depends on the language itself. Since OtterSign is software only, we don’t guarantee your waiver language is binding—you should ensure your document has been reviewed and approved by your insurance provider or legal counsel.
Can minors sign with a guardian?
Yes. Smart Forms support guardian consent for minors, with clear audit trails for compliance.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests can sign via SMS link, email, QR code, or on an iPad kiosk—no app required.
Can OtterSign handle memberships as well as waivers?
Yes. OtterSign lets you digitize membership agreements, manage renewals, and tie member activity to your waiver system.
How fast can we get set up?
Most ranges go live the same day. Import your waiver, membership form, or training document, customize the fields, and start collecting signatures in minutes.
