My range has rules about no rifle rounds on the pistol range because damb asses rip up the steel falling plates. But how the fuck do you run a range that the hunters with thier 300win and 30-06 shit can't zero. Fuck, that is like half they guys I see on the rifle range. Either testing new pet loads or zeroing for the start of whatever season.

i shoot at an indoor 100 yard range that has a pistol and rifle side
only difference between the two is the pistol side is better lit and the rifle site has a taller line rest for your rifle
>>30455988
Here's some terrible rules from my range:
1. No steel targets are to be shot with a rifle from less than 100m
2. No reactive targets whatsoever except during events
3. No personal chairs or tables
4. Holsters cannot have a cant beyond 10 degrees
5. Designated safety tables are required even if shooting alone (I have to have a separate table for loading ammunition/uncasing and actually shooting even when alone)
6. Only 1 shot per 2 seconds
7. Only 7.5 or greater birdshot is allowed regardless of target type
8. No guests allowed. Guests must pay a $5 fee one week ahead of time and can only come once per lifetime
>>30456069
When all the ranges in your county are smallbore only, yeah, it is pretty boo hoo.
>>30456217
>No guests allowed. Guests must pay a $5 fee one week ahead of time and can only come once per lifetime
Most of these i can at least see SOME reason for but what the shit
My range:
>only lets you shoot rifles up to 50yd without an optic
100 yard range rules:
>No Full Metal Jacket, Steel Core, or Military Ammo on the 100 Yard Range
>All Rifles must be scoped. NO RED DOTS (3 power or greater)
>NO - 22 Long Rifles
>NO - AK47, SKS, MK90, or Mosin Nagant
>NO - Pistol Grip Rifles or Short Barrel Rifles (barrel shorter than 16 inches)
>NO - Pistol Caliber Rifles

Too bad that policy didn't prevent that mom offing her son, then herself afterward.
Some of the ranges around me have 1 round in SKS policy, since they are afraid of another slam fire death,.
>>30456217
Most of those rules seem to make sense depending on what they are trying to address.
>1. No steel targets are to be shot with a rifle from less than 100m
They are probably only using 3/8 ar500, and rifle rounds will fuck those up if closer than 100 yards. I had someone fuck up my targets by shooting .223 at it at about 30 yards. You need like 1/2 ar500 and aggressive mounting angle if you want to shoot rifles any closer than 100 yards without damaging it, and you'd get peppered by spatter if closer than 50 yards.

A lot of us are unfortunate enough to live in cities.
I'm in metro Detroit where there are a lot of nice indoor ranges with no bullshit rules close to my house for $10-$15 per hour, open until 9pm year round.
Most outdoor ranges are an hour+ away and are full-fudd with most of the no-fun-allowed rules posted here. Plus they either charge hourly or have some ridiculous membership system where you have to be vouched for by an existing membership, pay an exorbitant one-time fee (sometimes like $500), then pay $350+ per year. I'm not dropping $800 and then paying $350 per year so I can put 6 rounds in my pistol and fire 1 shot every 3 seconds at non-silhouette targets at a minimum of 25 yards away.
There's one public gravel pit with few rules (only rule is targets must be paper or clay, thanks to people previously shooting appliances and shit and leaving all their trash behind) but it's an hour and a half away.
My range's only strange rule is no loading of the mosin's internal magazine. they all have to be fired single shot.
Reason for this is that some autist managed to blow his thumb off by double feeding a mosin (to this day noone knows how he managed to do it) and shoving the bolt forward with enough force to set off the chambered round, which knocked the firing pin loose, setting off the rear round, guy was a special kind of stupid
Used to shoot on Whidbey island
>no rifle cartridges on pistol range
>no shooting when range flag is down
>no stepping into range when range flag is up
>check with other shooters before lowering/raising range flag
People shared guns all the time, did stupid games, lined up stuffed animals, cans and pincones for something to plunk at, no RO unless shit was getting wierd, HANDLE your own shit.
Now I shoot in Everett and it's no rifle rounds over .223/5.56 or 7.62x39
>>30457469
Ah, fellow washington fag! I go to an outdoor range in Everett, close to where I live I've been to Whidbey a few times but never went to a range there, pretty liberal little shitstain of an island.
Wow, I've only been to 3 ranges in CA and none of them wernt this shit.
5dogs, outside, awesome fucking range, skeet, trap, metal targets for .22, pistol, and a unknown distance rifle/whatever else area, probably 400-500 yards max. Just no steel tip in the summer.
Iron sights in oceanside, rapid fire ok, no stupid pay by the hour, just flat rate of $9 I think. Just can only load weapons at firing line, no steel tip ever is gay though.
Some outdoor range past yucca valley, outside, 300 yard max range, trap, and .22 course. No steel because desert, one round for every second.
Then there was good ol blm land

My range is really cool and laid back, but this is even a rule there and they're serious about it. They stood firm after 9/11 when people were bringing in Bin Laden targets.
used to go to a range that was on a chill ranchers property. he had set up target stands out hundreds of yards (around 700) and built an awning with benches for people to use the only rules posted at the gate
>close gate after opening it
>don't shoot at or near cattle
>clean up your mess
a few years after finding out about it the rancher had to lock his gate and put up a trespass warning sign because he was tired of faggots shooting his animals and turning his property into a fucking dump.
THIS is why we can't have nice things

>shooting at a range instead of blm or open desert
Since we're on the subject of ranges, I was recently cucked and need to start using a range instead of glorious state land. I've found a nice one close that offers free targets to members, any caliber, any gun, even full automagics and its $60 a year for membership which is free shooting on the days they are open. Am I being double cucked or is this good?
>>30457458
Former metro Detroit/k/ubist here. The range at bald mountain isn't too bad, but if you want to mag dump then frankly the pit is worth the drive. Or move to the UP, 200yard rifle range+trap+25 yard pistols for 25$ a year.

Dear god, and I thought I had it bad!
our only rules beyond basic gun safety are:
Pistol range
>no intermediate or high power rifle rounds
>Only paper targets except for club sponsored exceptions (steel plates etc. during competition or the 2 hanging steel IPSC silhouettes which get left out)
>No AP rounds
Rifle range:
>No photorealistic targets
>Only shoot at marked distances
>demonstrate your rifle's zero at 200 yards before firing at longer distances
>Single loading on the concrete bench rests (rapid fire and magazine loading are allowed outside)
>No .50 BMG
>No AP rounds
Shotgun/trap:
>N/A
Might sound kind of bad but there are no RSOs and the schedule is sent out monthly so you can pick times the ranges will be dead if you want to break rules. Basically, any rule you feel like breaking can be safely broken so long as you don't make enough of a racket that somebody comes from the club house and tells you to fix your shit.
>all these rules

My range has none of these problems, it's just a shame I'm usually so lonely there

Fudds are of the impression that .22lr is only good for strictly 50yds and closer. Scoped, at 18x and a 50mm objective bell. Beyond 50, they believe it immediately shits itself and does loopdy-loops into the shooters forehead.
I swear to god, I go to a range on occasion packed full of fudds and I get the weirdest looks when I shoot at 100yds with irons. One of the RO'S wouldn't even let me shoot until he got a spotting scope out to make sure I could hit the target with 5 consecutive rounds

They have the same rules as Island Lake, right? I've been to Island Lake a couple times and every time it's packed, and the rules suck.
I just go out to the Pit when I really want to shoot outside, but it's not often. Maybe only a couple times a year.

>>30455988
>no rifle calibers larger than .223/5.56/AR-15
This is completely normal on most pistol designed ranged. You know.. most indoor ranges since they don't usually go further than 75yd.
They might not have the backstop to safely slow down anything else without it wearing out faster than they can pay for it.
but your're probably a millennial bitching because someone told them they can't do something on private property.

People have been saying this for years and as far as I know, nobody's even been injured yet, let alone killed. Now that the state is keeping tabs on it I think it's less likely than ever.
Also for the all the shit I hear I haven't seen anything dangerous. The worst was some guy who wasn't wearing ear or eye pro and had no idea how to maintain his new AR. I showed him how to disassemble and lube it, and he was happy. Still refused ear protection though.

I don't go to it. The membership sponsor is what is putting me off. I just go to the ones in Poland or Windham.
>Live in Tennessee
>No rules except to shoot your weapon type where appropriate and not go into the shoothouse without them knowing
I don't know the specific rules of the range (I was a guest and I asked my friend if magnum calibers were ok. Turns out they're perfectly fine), but I got kicked out because, I shit you not, my rifle "ejected brass out of the wrong side of the gun." WTF? Is this normal for y'all's ranges? I was using a left handed Remington 700 in 7mm rem mag. Since then I started my own range for friends and family (and their friends), and my rules are as follows
>Don't use AP rounds on the steel targets
>pick up after yourself
(Rarely more than 3 people on the line)
>make sure everyone is done shooting and everyone knows you're walking out on the range before you walk out onto the range
>don't shot yourself or anyone else
>eye pro and ear pro is mandatory
>I'm not liable if you get shot
It's a completely free to use range. I just ask that people call before coming shoot.

>No Aluminum Case ammo
>No steel-cased ammo
>no faster than 1 shot per second
>no full-auto
>Nothing more powerful than a 7.62x51
>RSO's discretion
I saw a guy get kicked out because the RSO didn't like his "commie rifle" (mosin nagant) and another get kicked out right away because he was "shooting a little too fast"

Pennsylvania State Game Lands range rules are pretty cool except this weird shit:
>no more than 3 rounds loaded into a long gun mag
>no more than 6 rounds loaded into a pistol mag
>>30456060
I better get cheap crab legs and free rental falcons if I have to tip the RSO.
>>30466086
I can see the reasoning behind most of the rules, but at all of the ranges I've been to, the RSO has been more than a little bitchy about stupid stuff.
I don't have to worry about calibers with my steel targets. They're rated for .50 BMG, but I try to stay away from those as they tear up the targets pretty bad.
Worst I've got at the local range
>full-auto/burst must have suppressors and only use in the "pit" ranges
>no .50
The no .50 sucks because there's only one range within 100 miles that allows it, but it's a pain in the ass to be able to use it. The only other actual range in the state that allows it is 8 hours away. Fortunately I can just go innadesert, but it'd be nice to have a set up area to use it at.
>5.7x28 prohibited on pistol range due to high backstop damage and penetration

Holy shit this is real.
>>30457464
they do that at my range too. one round at a time in bolt actions. I don't blame them; some people are incredibly stupid.
>>30455988
>no rifle calibers larger than .223/5.56/AR-15
I assume this would be for an indoor range? That's the only way it would make sense, what kind of sick bastard who runs an outdoor range with a 200m lane would prohibit someone with a .308 Winchester?
>>30455988
>no FMJ's for pistols/rifles
>soft-point everything
why even fucking live
>decide to make range
>should i make berms and targets that can actually withstand rounds with a little bit of power behind them?
>nah im just gonna be a cheap ass and make shitty berms/target traps and not allow anything more than pissbaby .223
>then charge you $20/hour for the privilege
Why is it so hard to make a range that can actually withstand full rifle rounds?

>local indoor range allows anything up to but not including .50BMG
>local outdoor range doesn't allow even .308
>local indoor pistol range
>no steel cased ammo allowed
>ask why
>"we collect the casings to reload, can't reload steel ones :^) "
>this was literally their reasoning
I did not buy a Makarov so I could shoot prissy Italian brass cased penis ammo, I bought it so I could chew through shit Soviet surplus rounds for cheap
>>30456271
>no AK47
Good thing I'm building an AMD65
God forbid if I ever shoot a fucking AR-10 at my local range again….the only range in any meaningful distance from my house
>Go to range with my new armalite AR-10, put a bunch of new furniture on it
>Excited to kill the fuck out of a paper target
>Begin shooting, loudest out of everyone shooting in the range
>RSO taps my shoulder while I'm shooting
>Put my rifle down, pointing down range
>"Ay there bud, what kinda bullets you shootin' outta there?"
>"7.62x51"
>"A seven-sixty two? Those are military rounds boy! You're never going to be able to use those, they'll go through a guy and two houses over!"
"No they won't."
"Well buddy I'm going to just ask you to either stop shooting that high calibre round or just leave, shooting such powerful and destructive bullets makes us look bad to them anti-gunners because they can't be used for anything other than killin' people"
>"What the fuck ever man"
>Pack up and leave
>>30466446
>Can't reload steel cased ammo, so we won't let you shoot!
Motherfucker what? So you can pay however much you pay for ammo and shoot it and the range thinks its suddenly entitled to cartridges from ammo YOU bought from gun YOU fired?
Only two bad rules at my range:
>slow fire only
>cannot load more than 6 rounds at a time
It's a little ridiculous shooting 6 rounds from a 30 round ak magazine.
>best friend lives out in a very rural area.
>go shooting whatever ammo we want in his backyard every weekend for free.
feels good desu

Why even bother bringing a Mosin?
>>30456098
So this is what those German ranges I heard about are like
>>30466512
Exactly. Bunch of asshats but here in SoCal indoor ranges are very rare, so my only other choice is to drive north to Burro Canyon or east to the old '84 Olympic range, but those are both outdoors.
I have a real fun outdoor range outside of my town
>literally no posted rules (just follow obvious safety ones)
>100% free
>you can shoot any ammo out of any gun at a any area as fast as you want.
>you can shoot any target. People sometimes bring in stuff like TVs and washing machines occasionally even a junker car. eventually when they're shot to Swiss cheese someone picks up the peices of scrap
It's great
