    It is the ability to be "cleared" that is at issue. No communication regarding that. The above email just said "qualified range officer" that gives the impression that only organized and managed events can utilize the berms in such a manner.

    Secondly this portion of the email.....................

    "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."

    You can not bring your own steel resetting targets out to the 200 yard berm set them against the backstop and utilize them with .223 or does that also fall under the being "qualified and authorized" and there is a way to accomplish this through the rules?

    Would not have known about the ability to do so without mention in this thread, which certainly is not communication from the Club regarding a method to do so.
