So I haven't been shooting in a while and so I was all amped up about my range outing today. I've made some upgrades to my ar 15 and couldn't wait to get some smoke off the barrel today.
Shooting has become more convenient as of late due to a nice range being built locally here, finally a prayer was answered with this place. I only have 8 miles to drive to shoot my rifle as apposed to 50 mile journey I was making.
So I hop out of my truck with rifle in hand and walk through the door and see a sign that reads: "No long guns allowed unless chambered in .22lr or .17hmr."
Due to the fact that some knuckle head that decided to shoot armor piercing rounds on two different occasions. Each time cost to fix the damage was 600 dollars.
That's a lot of money to an upstart buisness. The signs clearly tell shoothers no steel cased ammo, armor piercing, or reloads.
I just don't see why a fellow shooter would intentially break the rules, cause damage and ruin it for every one else. The communinty finally had a nice indoor facility and a bone head pulls a move like this.
Now its back to driving a while in order to break out the rifles. I'm just shocked that some one in the shooting community would mess it up for every one else. My three years in the gun world has taught me that theres not a better group of fellas than the ones who frequent the gun shops/ranges.
I didn't mean to go off on a rant but, come on don't blow it for the 99.9% of us who do the right thing.
