I act as CRSO for a private shooting facility with 550 members. You have no idea of the headaches I endure. I really wonder sometimes WHY some idiots are even allowed to have guns.<br /><br />We out lights up for night shooting & they were shot out<br />We have power transmission lines behind our property where poles and lines BOTH were purposely shot.<br />We have holes in our metal roofs.<br />We had a guy go downrange, turn around, and shoot backward (toward a road and the firing lines in general) into a stack of cardboard used as target backers to see how far his bullet would penetrate.<br />We have had people throw plastic water bottles on our retention pond (local building code demands)where there is NO firing line and use that as a target.<br />We HAD an alligator in that pond,,,HAD being the key word here until he was shot.<br /><br />I could go on & on. Needless to say I am NOT the most popular guy on the range. I have a fan club who has chosen to nickname me Range Nazi. What is it when you put guns in some peoples hands they go all to hell?Ronhttp://www.defensivepistolskills.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-87554558866174660002012-09-19T09:06:18.690-04:002012-09-19T09:06:18.690-04:00I don't know about other places but I heard th...I don't know about other places but I heard that the rifle range up at Sleepy Creek was closed because of bad behavior of the users.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-77408738704630691092012-09-19T04:54:56.617-04:002012-09-19T04:54:56.617-04:00We used cameras down at my club in York Co. to gre...We used cameras down at my club in York Co. to great effect. We had the same problem down there. The range that had been there 50 years was suddenly surrounded by housing developments.<br />Hope you catch the bozos.MSgt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035771485514432736noreply@blogger.com
