Lets keep this civil guys.
Um....
Wow, this sounds like the stuff that got the range 20 minutes from here, shut down.
Once again, for what ever reason. Gun Owners are our own worst enemies
Gun owners are like any other group of people- a few winners and a whole bunch of losers.Quote:

I wonder who gave them the idea that it was suddenly dangerous compared to all other shooting activities and matches at the club, and needed monitoring and approval.Quote:

Have you considered working for the ATF NFA section? I hear they can use people like you.
Youre a black guard martyring yourself for having to handle problems you more or less created.
Safety concerns have always existed about all shooting activities, but we agree to certain conduct as club members.
And most of us have seen more safety violations on the static ranges then the action shooting berms, yet the need for your centralized conteol did not manifest until you presented it.
As for your comment about people believing things because of what they read, perhaps that should be an alert to you.
Cy and Matt both have a very good repuatation as stand up members of the shooting community, so most of us are willing to believe them.
What do you suppose that says about your repuatation in the community, and how it was earned, that you are not given the benefit of doubt?
I just noticed that Mark has claimed in this thread to have started "Every action shooting match on the east range".
Gee, Mark... i wonder why the action shooting berms were there before you were a member, with not matches and not practice before you blessed us with your presence.
...
Did you invent the internet too, so we could discuss it here?

Thanks again for setting up all the cowboy action matches. Mighty white of ya.

Now I want a "Like" button...
Is it me or are gun clubs more like HOA's than sporting centers?
I don?t know Mark, so I can?t comment on that issue, however, I can comment on my experience as a member of CRC. last year was my 1st year as a member. The hours long orientation was a full on waste of hours. The doof that did the speaking was so inept, the members were getting restless. Constant babble about turtles and turkeys. The rest was simply reading off of the handouts. When a specific question was asked, the answer provided only left most the group scratching their heads in confusion. It was a total waste of time. If you can read the handout, than you learned more than what he was clamoring on about. The whole ? needing to be verified by member Xxxxx in order to use a holster or shoot and move was not received well either. I understand the need for this with some shooters, but NOT a uspsa card holder or other prior approved verified competition shooter.
Finally, usps mail for communication is absurd. Emails go unanswered.
I elected to skip membership this year.
Honest question: Why no suppressors in the rules? I figured people would WANT others to use them in matches to hear, etc...
