Hi Chizzle,
While we have not met (that I'm aware), I have been following the RO/SO thread and wanted to drop you a line. I've met Que at an NRA Basic Pistol Class that I assisted with and was favorably impressed. I do hang out on INGO a bit but don't post a lot.
I'm substantially involved with two gun clubs, Hoosier Hills in Columbus (handgun training officer) and South Central Gun Club (president). I've not been to MCFG but, have heard very good things, specifically about your Friday Night Steel matches.
I just wanted to let you know that I certainly appreciate your frustrations and to let you know that I think your posts and responses have been very well written and professional. As you've stated, there always seems to be someone who insists on nitpicking while not embracing the spirit of the rules.
Again, although I haven't been to your facility, from one club officer to another, I recognize your efforts, motivations behind them and thank you for them.
Don't let the bassturds get you down!!
Thanks,
Craig
PS: Thank you and MCFG for the steel donation to Hoosier Hills!! I'm working with the member you gave it to, to get matches going at our range. You guys are doing good work up there.
Took the boys to the range today. I have to say it was a good time with no interference from RO. Everyone around us was on point with safety and following the new rules concerning movement and not sweeping the others around them.
Please know our issues were with one individual and not the RO program as a whole. We want that range to stay open and remain a positive shooting experience.
If an RO has a suggestion, give him a chance to clarify/explain and then respond in kind.
Be safe,
CM
Hello,
Has anyone attened a Thursday night trap shoot?
Almost everyone has their shotgun on the back bench uncased.
From what I have observed, very few bring their shotguns cased from their cars.
Range rules for safety reasons MUST apply to ALL!
Covering other shooter is a common occurance.
LET'S USE COMMON SENSE ABOUT ENFORING RANGE RULES.
Does that make me Jerry, or does that make me the bald bouncer guy? Based on my current haircut, I am guessing that I am the bouncer trying to keep people from killing each other....
