CRC Proposal for new range/ban of steel on HP range

[ray1970]

I'd be happy to pay higher dues in hopes of keeping the membership comprised of the more serious shooters. My guess is most of the people who wouldn't re-up their dues are probably the ones not adhering to the rules anyways. (Shooting inappropriate weapons on certain ranges, shooting unapproved targets, etc.)

I can't see them putting in a club house for budgetary reasons but it would be kind if cool. Better than that little shack by the rim fire range.

I agree guys.

As for the cranky old shooters who keep throwing mud, I am going to just stop responding to them.

Really? I'm not sure if you are referring to me or not but it seems you are willing to "respond" if people are behind your segregation of good members but if we dont well then we are not worthy of you time and our opinions dont matter?? I am i correct here??

Can I ask what your position is on the Board of Directors Mark? Because as far as I can find your not a BOD member, so for you to be putting these new "rules and restrictions" in pace and demanding experienced shooters to "qualify" to be able to do certain things seems confusing to me. Like others have mentioned, I too have well over 30 years of safe firearms handling experience, I shoot IDPA, long range comps. and have multiple NRA certifications and teach, on a regular basis, firearms safety courses. But yet I need to justify to you that I am worthy of paying for you to "quality" me to shoot at a shooting range.

I'm confused, but that could just be because I am an old cranky shooter......

Not talking about you at all.

I am not implementing ANY restrictions, just making a proposal. If I had not put in the time and effort to get an approval process for shooting on the East range, the total restriction would still be in place.

Three idiots that went about the range tearing stuff up with AKs, got blamed on us for a short time, as did several other things that got damaged. I guess since I am not a board member I should just sit back and bitch like everyone else and not try to get anything improved. I will consider your suggestion to just be a quitter.

Take a chill pill.

I guess I'm having trouble figuring out why steel is banned on the high power range, since it's not stated anywhere,

The March 3 Newsletter that I linked in the first line in this thread, and which was emailed to all members, states it is now banned.

I've been a member of one private range or another for over twenty years. It amazes me that people (who I assume are also paying members) would trash a place the way they do. It frustrates me when I see holes shot in benches or chairs or other items used inappropriately as make shift target stands. I just don't get why someone would take a nice place to enjoy their hobby and abuse and destroy it.

As far as membership goes, I think CRC is way too open to just let anyone in. The club I was a member of back in Texas was a bit more exclusive. The only way to join was to have a recommendation from an existing member. I think that policy really cut down on the rif raf and kept the place nice.

That sounds like the good basis for an e-mail to the BOD.

There is no detail on why though, just an arbitrary statement about safety Were people setting up targets at the 300yd fire line and shooting from the 1k firing line? Where people shooting steel while there were other people in the bunker getting splash? Maybe someday we'll hear what the safety issue was and have an opportunity to think about how it could be done safely. They do hint to that.

I see. The reason it is banned, is because it is banned. Sounds like our country's administration.
