What is the most silly, nonsensical, bizarre or confusing rule that you've encountered at an indoor or outdoor gun range?

Also, what was the supposed reasoning behind that rule?

Was that rule enforced? How?
 
Went to a Californua gun range once and the rule was that when ever wild life showed up on the range all shooters had to come to an immediate halt until someone went down range to shoo them away. Not a ridiculous rule, but it was quite amazing seeing several shooters all of a sudden stop firing to wait on the shoo away boy to go chase away the wild life.
 
A range that would only allow semi autos to be shot one round in a magazine at a time. So it was shoot , drop mag reload shoot

Not a bad rule. I would think all the shooting noise would keep away most critters.

Did they give a reason?

I guess that gave you a lot of reloading practice and saved on ammo. :laugh:

Like Wolf Russian?

I know there are disputes pro and con about steel cased ammo but did the range give you their specific reason for the ban?

I was at Patric's a range in Pooler/Savanna, GA a few weeks ago and forgot until I saw XD's post about steel cased ammo. The reason I was given which I believe is BS was that burning powder emitted from a steel cased round somehow ruins their air filters. They didn't seem to mind me shooting my own reloads though. I just have never heard of that before one before. Maybe someone else can chime in on steel vers brass and dangerous filter clogging smoke.
 
No steel case? Probably because they don't want to have to sort it out from the brass they collect and sell.


Oh, wait, what about aluminum case?


Maybe not.

You would think, but I was target shooting in the woods one day and stopped because a deer wandered into the line of fire. Just strolling along, no hurry.

Hmmm . . . I've never heard about the filter problem before either.

Yet when you're hunting deer every little noise makes them run. Go figure. :lol:
 
We have several ranges in town that have signs posted expressly prohibiting the use of Tulammo under penalty of ejection.
