I just have a few questions and comments for anyone who shoots at The Shooters Club in River Ridge... and who knows, this may apply to all ranges in the states for all I know.
When there's a big sign that says "Please SWEEP UP your brass"... WHY NOT JUST DO IT INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT FOR THE NEXT USER OF THE LANE???
How in the HELL can you shoot out the target feed wire on a lane with a .22lr?? Why are you aiming at the ceiling in the first place! (Sorry... this was a personal issue I had this past weekend).
I know EVERYONE knows you can fire in bursts of 3 rounds. When the range officers come over the loud speaker and say "NO RAPID FIRE ON THE RANGE!", after you just popped off 15 rounds in 2 seconds, I'd be willing to BET they're talking to you directly!
Keep your weapon IN YOUR LANE and when you're not about to send it, DON'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE DAMN TRIGGER!! I don't enjoy being swept by your idiotic weapon and trigger discipline skills. Do you see that hole in the crossbar in front of you?? That's from idiots like YOU!
If you drop something in the "hot" area of the range, DON'T just crawl under the crossbar to grab it... the range officer will gladly hold the firing on the range so you can get whatever you need. Or here's a trick... use one of the giant brooms to reach out and get it!
The double safety door system is in place for a reason. The "PUSH FOR EMERGENCY" is not a "PUSH TO OPEN". The system is designed to dampen the sounds of the rounds being fired and not send damaging sound levels into the lounge/reception/lobby area.
When entering and existing the facility, your weapon should be either IN A CASE or at the very least have the slide locked back or cylinder open! COME ON PEOPLE!
Now, I don't work there, but I frequent there OFTEN because I don't want to drive two hours to another range. I'm assuming those using the range go there because of convenience also... so how about keeping it convenient, follow the rules and show a little courtesy for your fellow shooters?
I don't even care what you wear in there... the tactical cammo overalls, the full chest rig, the 2nd amendment trucker hats, etc., I really don't, not that it even matters what I think... but at the very least, just be courteous and somewhat considerate of your fellow shooters (maybe bath BEFORE going?).
I'm telling you, it's like fricken WAL-MART in there sometimes!!!
Sorry for the rant... I just had to get it out.
