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

Honestly, a sign would be a wise investment. Sure, they can put it on the website, but a couple of 50-cent laminated signs at the bunker and at each firing line could go a long ways.

That will happen in concert with Option 1.

Excellent job sir. Thanks for your hard work getting this situation fixed. I like your proposal for the addition of a dedicated range, but this is a good start. Just wanted to say thanks.

[USMC88-93]

One of the biggest problems out there is even if you find someone doing something blatantly wrong or even a simple educational opportunity there is little to no follow up through the Board. Examples being the occasional individual that sets up steel of the 600, 700, or 800 yard firing position and than proceeds to blast away at it from the 1000 yard firing position thinking "their steel is in the impact area" Some of them just can not get it through their head that their steel is placed on a firing position and not an acceptable impact area behind the target area. When the light bulb goes off that they can put the steel at the backstop and set up on the 200, 300 400 yard firing positions it really is sad to watch the clock in their head turn. Yet in these situations there is no penalty involved. Board ask after you provide names license plates, and video or photo proof........ "did you tell them", "did you stop them", well then thats that. While there are rules in place CRC must implement some way of actual follow up and enforcement penalty or its all just hot air. Hell I was talking to one of the board members tonight and he was shocked to learn (as he put it) that there was no actual language in the rules as relates to where to place steel out there. We would all hope that people would understand and common sense would dictate it be placed at the berm but there is no actual language written to that affect.

Thats the hard part of it for me is the fact that I am so vocal about not wanting "certifications" but understand the difficulties of managing the range and the rules required.

I think the board as a group learned some things during the meeting. While I do not feel it appropriate to disseminate the discussions of other topics, I was encouraged by their discussion of some of the things you mentioned USMC88-93. I hope that, if nothing else, members will see that the board are as well members, and want what is best for the club. There are topics that they need to learn about, but they have consistently shown that they are open to such, if given the opportunity.

A new position was created, which will come out, that will be helpful in terms of reporting persons who violate range rules.

First: MARKCO.... Thanks for your work on this.

Second: Not to sound too dumb but could somebody draw out what is expected for where is good/not good for steel placement? Verbally it sounds like a person might think they are within the rules when they are not and then, as USMC88 points out, miss what is intended.

As long as it is AR500, we are good-ta-go?

I'll let Mark comment on the new policy but in the past you placed your steel where the bullets hit the berm. There are obvious ruts in the berm behind where each target comes up. This is where the bullets hit the berm when firing at the paper targets. Set your steel there so a miss hits the same rut the paper targets make and a hit splashes out onto the berm.
