Guys, my range just paid a quarter million dollars to raise our berms, due to encroaching humanity... $200 of it was mine, since all the members were assessed extra to cover this.
And people are still doing stupid stuff.
Recently a guy loaded up his "battle rifle," which probably only gets brought out of his closet on those rare occasions when he has to do battle to get out of the house... He then proceeded to "walk fire" downrange, starting at about 50 yards... Rapidly...
1) This ain't good for what there is of the turf... We can have grass, or we can have blowing and swirling dust - which do YOU prefer?
2) Bullets BOUNCE. We're guessing that EVERY shot he fired that hit the ground probably still went over the raised berm. And kept going. There's houses on the other side now. One hit on a house, car, outbuilding, or person, and the range is sued/closed.
People, the range rules are there for REASONS. And they apply to EVERYONE.
