The only range around me that I haven't personally boycotted has several annoying rules. First, they ask what calibers you are shooting when you get there, not the guns. No 7.62x39 anywhere past 25yards....period. yet I can walk a mosin down to the 100 w/o issue shooting steel core. I can't shoot ar pistols on pistol range, kind of understand, but also can't shoot a 10" lever action pistol in. 357 on the pistol range. Much less powerful than many large revolvers and generally easier to shoot accurately than a pistol. On rifle ranges 25-100yards, can only sit at bench.....wobbly bench. I laid out a rug and went prone and they bout crapped their pants.
These days I much prefer to hike out to the woods despite the hassle and the longer drive. The only thing good about the range abover mentioned, its 6$ an hour, can use your own targets and if you get there early when no one else is there, the range is yours alone, not even an officer.

The range I work at also asks what caliber rifle you're shooting. It's done to determine if you may possibly be trying to shoot FMJ ammo.
There are no FMJ rifle ammo signs in the office, at the check-in area and on the firing lines. FMJ is not allowed on the range per insurance policy.

Woods are the best...
I feel that people trashing the woods will end that one day....

While in the Army I was on a qualification range that was shut down for hours because an endangered bird was spotted downrange. A local wildlife expert had to inspect and clear the downrange area. Adjacent ranges were closed also.

Found a range about 40 miles away that you pay $6 per person and go shoot . Theres no range master or gaurd or what ever you call them . Most of the time I shoot at home but this place is interesting if several people want to get togeather to shoot and I dont need all the extra shooting at home .
