Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Heh. I was told at orientation no carry, open or CCW anywhere except matches. Park your car at the gate and trunk the gun.4. Away from the firing line handguns may not be carried in holsters, except for law enforcement personnel in uniform or persons holding valid concealed carry permits. “QUICK DRAW” handgun practice or shooting IS NOT PERMITTED on CRC property.
Meet me at the range, get the clearance for the East range and use those. IT IS SIMPLE!
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.Originally Posted by MarkCO
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.

1. I think this conversation qualifies as communication!
2. Yes to the second part.
Not trying to nit pick and argue the point I am treating this as a friendly conversation over breakfast ....Literally, give me a minute I smell something burning.
That is the point I am trying to make, this is a conversation with another user of a website that is in no way affiliated with CRC. Several of us happen to be members out there and we are talking about it here I will give you that, but it can not be construed as official communication from the Club. All communication from the Club in an official capacity has been the don'ts with no mention of "you actually can do these things IF you obtain certification from a qualified Club official." That is the thing that is turning my screws nothing more than that. Am I happy I read this thread yes because it is the only way I would have known and THAT is the problem.

Lets keep it civil here folks. Remember Mark is doing us a great service here by educating us on this so thank you Mark for letting us know. At least there is an option to qualify, they could just leave it at "no quickdraw on CRC property'' then we would not even have an option. Thanks Mark

Do you not think it is? I made clear note of the conversational and not argumentative aspect of my post.
I know

Considering there is already steel mentioned at the east 200yd berm I have no issues putting up my own at that distance. There was a gong sitting for more than a month at the 200yd section of the 100/200yd rifle range, if steel at 200yd was an issue what would not have stayed as long as it did.
I see that rule to stop you from shooting steel at 15yd in the small berms with a 300WM

And his point is that the email (which I did not, nor any other members I know, receive) mentions nothing about being qualified to do "quick draw" shooting.
I think the "being civil" comment was directed at the bolded portion of the above quote.
Keep Calm and Carry.
