Any info on the Colorado Rifle Club?

[merl]

This is just another example of something that was not communicated properly to the membership as a whole. I have been a member for years and at no point do I recall anyone communicating a way to be "cleared" for such activities. As a result I havent had the need or desire to utilize the berms. As such I wouldn't have seem a sign posted there indicating there was a way to be cleared. Or is the signage just related to the do's and dont's.

Here is the email sent out April 5th. No Other communication was sent regarding the east range except construction news.

CRC has encountered a few problems on the East Range. Some casual shooters have been shooting high power rifles at steel targets, at close range. This is a dangerous practice for several reasons. First, there is a danger to the shooter due to splash back from bullet fragments. Also, bullets ricocheting off the steel targets is a danger to others. The use of high power rifles on steel targets is no longer permitted. A high power rifle is defined as a rifle firing a jacketed bullet from a bottle neck cartridge. Another problem has been ricochets caused by casual shooters not placing their targets close to the backstop. Rounds missing the targets strike the ground and ricochet over the backstop. Also, we have had several issues where casual shooters have taken steel targets from the CRC storage area and shot them with jacketed bullets. Steel targets used by the cowboy shooters are made from softer steel and are suitable only for use with lead bullets. Several of the cowboy targets have already been damaged in this manner. All steel targets stored on the East Range are intended ONLY for use in organized competitions, NOT for casual shooting practice. The rules for shooting on the East Range have been revised, and there are some significant changes.

The new rules for the East Range are as follows:
1.) All firing must be done from locations completely enclosed by the side berms. Firing from points outside the berms is not permitted.
2.) Eye and ear protection is required when shooting is in progress.
3.) Walking or climbing on the berms is not permitted.
4.) Shooting while moving is not permitted except under the supervision of a qualified range officer.
5.) All targets must be placed as close as possible to the rear backstop, so rounds will impact on the rear backstop. Shooters are encouraged to use the target frames provided.
6.) All rounds fired must impact on the rear backstop. Shooting into the side berms is not permitted except under the supervision of a qualified range officer.
7.) Firing high power rifles on steel targets is prohibited due to ricochet issues. High power rifles are restricted to paper targets only. High power rifles are those using a bottleneck cartridge firing jacketed bullets.
8.) CRC stores steel targets on the East range for use in approved matches ONLY. These steel targets are NOT provided for casual target practice.
9.) Bottles, cans, and other objects are not proper targets and are prohibited.
10.) Shooters are expected to pick up their spent cases and all other materials and remove it from the property.
NOTE: High power rifles may be used on the new steel gong on the 200 yard berm. This is provided for casual shooters. Restrictions against shooting steel targets with high power rifles on all other berms still apply.

There is also this in the general range rules so draw and fire drills on the east berms (or anywhere else) were already ruled out.

4. Away from the firing line handguns may not be carried in holsters, except for law enforcement personnel in uniform or persons holding valid concealed carry permits. “QUICK DRAW” handgun practice or shooting IS NOT PERMITTED on CRC property.

Nothing in it about getting cleared for anything, blanket disallow movement while shooting and draw/fire.
Mark, I know you can clear people because of your posts here, otherwise nothing.

(FWIW you can hear round after round go spinning over the berms during matches with low targets.)
There are some other rules that are blanket ignored like no semi auto on the rimfire berm.
