Precision.....

[Jman1911]

Just went to shot a new Sks that I picked up a week ago and they told me that I had to be a member to shoot a Sks or an ak47. I asked how much is it to be a member and was told 350.00 for a yearly membership. Then I asked why I had to have a membership to shoot and he said because people act stupid with Sks's and AK's. Whats this all about?

 

[JNieman]

people act stupid with Sks's and AK's.

I think you answered your own question, lol.

Sucks, though.

7.62 puts a hell of a hole in block buildings when you hit the walls with it.

This is what was happening. People would go in and shoot AKs, knock holes in the wall then leave.

 

[dantheman]

$350 ? I think not .

 

[Jman1911]

People don't act "stupid" with Ar's?

 

[Leadfoot]

Sure, but .223 isn't as hard on the walls.

 

[Jman1911]

Gotcha leadfoot!

 

[flamatrix99]

Thats always been the rule since I have been going there.

 

[Jman1911]

I'll head to Sherburn tomorrow.

Hell they don't allow 855's in 223 either. The wall can't handle steel ammo

 

[PrairieCajun]

Sounds like caliberacism. Not all AK's shoot the wall and leave. It was always a good AK. Never in any trouble.

True story. You can shoot AR's, but NO STEEL CORE.

A few jackwagons (thanks R Lee) screw it up for everyone else. I wouldn't hold it against Precision though. They have to protect their property and guard against liability.

IMO, Sherburne is a pretty nice place to go shooting though, and I'd rather get some longer range shots than Precision can provide.

I do not know of any indoor range that will allow steel core ammunition. They can not take a chance on the containment of the bullet.
We will not allow steel core ammunition in any caliber.

 

[Jman1911]

I wasn't gonna shoot steel core.

 

[geauxshootin]

I wasn't gonna shoot steel core.

not implying that you were, just the fact that steel core tends to tear up the facility and tries to leave the building.

 

[Laid Back]

So, by becoming a member, do the holes created by 7.62 become smaller or less of a problem?

 

[bs875]

No. But if you get retarded with your ghetto broom, as a member, they can revoke your membership, and THAT will cost you.

Its not a grand conspiracy against AK/SKS fanciers, despite what some here in the past have whined about.

.

This. That was the story I got when I tried to bring in an SKS to shoot. You might still shoot up the equipment/walls but they can ban you and keep your membership fee to cover the damage. I'd like to see the option of a cash deposit for non-members that want to shoot an AK/SKS. Pay your money, shoot your gun and as long as you weren't acting an ass you get your deposit back. But I'm not paying $350 for the privilege to shoot my gun responsibly.

From what I was told the ak was more popular with the "locals" and they would shoot the place to ****.

I'm sure this had something do with ak's being so much cheaper than ar's for a long time.

I have witnessed the Red Jacket Firearms guy's shooting their M2 50 caliber at the Baker Range. I have shot my SKS there also.
