How do you expect them to get good at shooting?
Range Master cracks down on guy shooting AR-15 telling him he needs to have 3 seconds between shots. Obviously, he’s a zombie hoard sympathizer.

I call that Micro Gun Control.

The stupidity of gun culture 1.0

There’s a local range like that here too. No more than 5 rounds in the mag in a semi either… overall, if you’re not there sighting in your deer gun, they don’t want you.

Cmon now. He was clearly out of control and a danger to himself and others. He had to be stopped before something terrible happened.

The first range I joined in my area has 2 rules that made me quit. 1. No magazines in a semi-auto. (had I known that, wouldnt have joined) 2. No human silhouette.
Thats the old guy gun mentality that stems from all those years of gun control. Rifles are only for the military, and for hunting.

Was he hitting his target?

A local indoor range forbids “double taps” or “rapid fire”.
I can understand it from a “our insurance made us do this” point of view, but it’s no coincidence that range is the least-busy in town.

My local range has three main rules:
1 Don’t shoot the cows
2 Don’t shoot over the berm
3 Talk to The Gunny before you shoot full-auto

There’s a range like that near me, too. Time between shots, no double-taps, absolutely never any full-auto, and the crown jewel: no “assault pistols.” I asked about that one. No AR pistols, AK pistols.
Same thing as Fred said. Sight in your hunting rifle or GTFO.
The pistol range was as bad. Had a mini-blogmeet over there, and we had several pistols laid out, chambers/cylinders open, mags empty. RO came by and asked if we’d put some away. I asked why. He said there was too much danger of putting the wrong ammo in the wrong mag, or putting the wrong mag in the wrong gun.
That was the last time I went to that range.

He should just use the Ruger that shoots 10 rounds at a time.

I’m a lawyer. There’s no real legal reason* to disallow so-called “rapid fire,” at a range where the basics of gun safety are required and waivers have been signed by participants, but lawyers in general are adept at imagining legal reasons for things that their clients absolutely must prevent against.
That being said, I know the guys at a local range have a “no rapid fire” sign posted; if they hear someone going at it, they have a look: if he’s competent they let it go, if he’s incompetent he needs to go no matter how fast or slow he’s shooting.
*I’m talking federal and state laws (with regard to the latter, I’m generalizing; there may be a state legislature somewhere that has codified a rapid fire ban). And please, don’t come with the somebody might get injured and sue “reason” which can be used to wring one’s hands over just about any activity. Local ordinances can be another story.

The reason behind no rapid fire at Scotia Range (state-run range near me) is to keep idiots from blazing away at near-full-auto and tearing up the target backers. (Yes, this happens. It’s a college town.) When I asked about what was rapid fire, their comment was, if I could control it, it was fine. If not, then not.
As for round limits… yeah, that’s annoying.

“A local indoor range forbids “double taps” or “rapid fire”. ”
All of the ranges in Hampton Roads have rules against rapid fire, usually defined as more than 1 round per second. While part of the concern is idiots breaking the target hangers, or shooting the walls or ceiling, the main concern they have is with squibs.
It’s not an unreasonable concern to have, to be honest.

One rage I go to has a “No politics” sign.

Fudds. Anti-gunners best friends.

Crap like this is why I never go to a shooting range. There’s more acres of wide open public land here in SW Wyoming than you can shake a stick at so I go out in the boondocks and do my shooting there.
When I’m done shooting I bag what’s left of my targets, pick up the brass and I’m done. No fees, no stupid bullshit, just a good time shooting.

This is why I’ve never gone through the trouble of becoming a member at any of my local ranges. I’ve got plenty of room to shoot on my own land so it works out well for me. A lot of these places could have a short competency test for new members and solve any safety issues.

The clubs [3] that I belong to don’t have those dumb rules, and this is in Kalifornicate.
At one club, of which I serve on the board, no pistols on the 100 yard range [unless approved by a board member ie; TC or the like] and the 25 yard range is a ‘walk up’.

I have seen it too. I was once told that my gun was too loud, and my rate of fire too high. It seems that the Fudds were trying to sight in rifles in preparation for deer season, and I was disturbing them.

I solved this as my local range by becoming very active in the board of directors. It went like this:
What does ‘no rapid fire’ mean? Uhhh, don’t shoot fast. So, Mr Marine who’s been here forever, how fast did they teach you to shoot? On the breath you say, we’ll I think that’s pretty reasonable, don’t you?

I will not read any of these comments, just to say this:
I went shooting with a friend once. He had a REALLY FUCKING BAD habit of, uhm, expressing his opinion when we spoke to each other, on the firing line. Imagine a mother wagging a finger at a child. The sad thing was, instead of a finger, it was a loaded, just fired, only twice, …… I side with the range officer. His range, his rules.

Just show up with a slide fire next time!!!

Common with any TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife and Resources Agency) supervised range. They don’t like people that can shoot better and faster than them!
