given a public range that hosts 3gun matches, with numerous 3gun bays that have 12’ berms on 3 sides, 20-50 yards deep....
Is there a reasonable justification for either of the following rules on non-match days?
- no drawing from holster
- no more than 1 shot per second
Does anyone have range insurance that stipulates these rules? ( I had NRA range and club insurance a few years ago and neither did.)
Public ranges are often havens for people with less than average intelligence and skill. These people often try to mimic tactics, techniques, and procedures that they see skilled individuals do on youtube, or things from John Wick movies. I avoid such places.
The only "Public Range we have is run by the State, so therefore as FL NC posted there are many idiots out there therefore the range rules are no drawing, no rapid fire.plus many others. It is the State so no logic facts or justification needed
Never ever shoot there after a Gun Show!, People show up with Wal Mart bags of ammo, new guys in a box, never fired and proceed to be idiots!
Many many years ago I used to shoot there. The rules where relaxed and you could draw and rapid fire.
One day I was there shooting, an elderly guy (older than me) was Bullesye shooting with is 22lr pistol and shooting box, scope the whole deal. He was left over from the early bird club of guys that hogged the range when it first opened. He was the only one left and the rest of the shooters were blasting away.
I was practicing drawing(a 380 pocket pistol) which he didn't like. He went and complained to the RSO (who I was friends with) he asked me nicely if I would stop as the guy was getting antsy. I said sure OK.
I then watched the guy take 5 minutes a shot, go through is whole slow fire, look at scope, routine etc etc.
Being the nice guy that I am, I then took out my 44 Mag, and timed my shots for each one of his trigger pulls.
He left in about 10 minutes,
