Match Question

Test it out yourself buddy. Go to just about any "member only" range and set a piece of steel up on a bay for a week and leave it unattended. By the end of the week, if not sooner, the steel will be shot to shit by rifles or simply stolen.

Don't kill the messenger. The majority of people suck at being considerate human beings that respect other peoples stuff. Me stating that reality shouldn't be a news flash.

We did put steel out at CRC. Except for the one "MD" who thought 50m was more than 100 yards, it has done pretty well. The piece on the 200 yard is down because after thousands of hits, it has finally shredded the rubber strap. But it did not get stolen nor punched with AP.

But, as we have discussed, there is a lot of ignorance and lack of respect at some ranges these days.

[MarkCO]

During the last we had to tell some members, more than once, that the steel they were shooting was sending ricochets sideways over all the berms. The second time I spelled it out that they need to change the angle of their target to stop sending rounds over everyone's heads.

And did you report it as required? Did they have their flag up? When members are not willing to either educate or report violations, they will grow in numbers.

I'm not a member and not aware of such protocol. I just remember that they were shooting some sort of rifle (I think a .22) at a piece of steel, in a pistol bay.

[MarkCO]

If you see something unsafe. member or not, let the MD know or encourage the CRC member you are with to report it.

[Irving]

Will do.
