I'm a member at Millvale and Clairton too. If any of you PMSC north hills guys want to shoot closer to home sometime, let me know and I'll take you as a guest to Millvale.

You would pay full for next year, and the balance of this year would be pro-rated at I think $10.00 per month.

Do you mean to miter them? Cut at a 45 could be misconstrued.

All two dozen have been dropped off. The second batch (16) have been spray-painted "PAFOA". The ".ORG" wouldn't fit, so that part of the stencil got cut off. They have the same ugly butt-joints in the corners. Or is that butt ugly joints?

Was at my range this weekend with my son and there's some fancy new signage. The one sign just re-iterated the fair rules that were already in place.

There was another new sign with 6-inch tall letters on the shooting bench in the pistol range though "ONLY 3 ROUNDS LOADED IN A CLIP AT A TIME".

I said, OK, "I'm not using clips today" and proceeded to use my use my pre-readied mags fully-loaded.

I have no idea where the suggestion/rule came from...it's always been a fair club. There was no one else there to use the range either.

Seriously...what's the deal with the sign and a suggestion like that?

My experience has been that a lot of the "clubs" are Fudd clubs, and since Fudds fire 1 round at a time, everyone else should too. I lived 30 seconds from a club that had similarly laughable rules such as 1 round in a magazine for an AR.

Their club, their rules, of course. I joined PMSC and never looked back.

Is that the range that's trashed all the time?

Strange that this is happening now but this is the second club I know of that recently made similar changes. Coincidence or board members chatting each other up? Board members who push these kind of Fudd rules should find themselves voted off the Board.
