    I get that we have idiots, but if we get bounces off the ground at 10* (angle of incidence is equal to the angle of deflection) we aren't really any worse off than a high miss. The berms need to be made high enough that they are safe for shooting towards whether a miss is low or high. To me it seems this would be the same issue as low misses on the HP range or the silhouette range. Would they not?

    Though I have to disagree with your postulation that a few idiots or a-holes can invalidate what was promised to us by our founding fathers. Range safety rules are another topic, and I'll gladly discuss those with an open mind. But number of a-holes will never change my agreement with rights promised to us as natural born US citizens. But I will concede that this topic has only a cursory relationship to our real discussion here.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but can you expand/enumerate the reasons behind this statement you posted. I would love a steel only range, and am happy to provide my own, but I am not connecting the need for such a setup due to safety. For cost to the club to increase chances of approval, sure, but for safety I'm not certain I can connect the dots. Best thing I can come up with is to reduce cold range calls (needed there and at the silhouette range) for paper targets. Maybe that is it.

    "Praise be to our prophet, John Moses Browning, who hath bestowed upon us the new testament of shooting. Delivered unto us, his disciples, on 29 March 1911 A.D."
