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

[rustycrusty]

What is the rationale behind the east berm steel ruling (as well as the draw certification)?
- the design of open pistol berms -such as the east berms- is to facilitate IDPA/USPSA/Steel Challenge type events AND ALLOW PRACTICE FOR SUCH SPORTS to take place.

The 'outpouring of protest' pertained to the restrictions on shooting of steel targets throughout the facility. - if such a thread had been started earlier I'm sure that the draw restriction would have elicited the same angry reactions from people. - This is the first time the BoD has cared to put an ear to cries of protest.

If this thread is what the BoD is referring to when mentioning a large protest then we need more of it.

The Bod seem very out of touch if the steel shooting sports have crept up on them. This is years in now... We need to keep up.

this whole knee-jerk reaction restriction nonsense - starting with the 'QuickDraw certification' isn't LIKE panic legislation... This IS panic legislation.

MarkCO- I know you are pressing for our club to adapt and keep relavant and attractive to shooters in these 'new' sports, but there must be a better way of keeping the BoD from going all NYC on us... There has to be a better way.

Panic sets in for me when I think of having to use a public range to practice steel challenge- especially knowing that the club that hosts the matches has decided that individual practice of the sport is 'too dangerous'.

What kind of message does that send?
