I am fed up with gun ranges. The emphasis has moved from safety to CYA at all costs. It seems like every time I shoot I get hassled.

Tell me about it.

I dropped my previous range membership when the dumbasses told me I couldn't shoot my Thomson Encore on the rifle range because it was a pistol, and I couldn't shoot it on the pistol range because it was a .308.

Thankfully, I found another range run by someone with a functioning brain.

OMG! That is a worst-case stupid scenario.

The range I visit now doesn't hassle me but it does make you shoot seated with the gun inside a dorky "sound abatement system" which is a plywood box lined with eggcrate foam. Not very tactically realistic, but at least they don't hassle me. I'm working on a farmer to let me build a range on a fallow field of his. Until then, I won't be shootng much.
