The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Silhouette targets at long ranges. (100+ yds)

I was at a Jacksonville area range with a friend this weekend and had a good number of my beautiful near-life-sized 11x17 (x 2 sheets) silhouette targets with me... and... no human form targets of any kind allowed.

I wish I would have asked them why, but it was my first (and likely only) time there. Is there a belief that somehow shooting silhouette targets makes a shooter more likely to want to shoot humans? I don't get it.
