25 yard pistol line.

-----------------------------------------------------
The range rules are intended to protect the safety of shooters and the property of the range.
A 50 cal round fired from a revolver DOES NOT meet the definition of a conventional pistol caliber.
A .223 round fired from a Thompson Contender DOES not meet the definition either.
The increased utilization of the range has forced the management of the range to decide that setting up target frames in the falling plate area is causing damage to the expensive plate racks.
Please note that the line officer has the authority to decide what is or is not safe on the line.
Again more proof the RO was wrong.
