Some of my favorite arbitrary range rules

[Sgt.K]

Put the seat down rule.

The seat goes in both directions. You're a big girl: if it's not where you need it, move it - just like I would.

We just admitted our first female member to my club, which is a good thing. Problem is, now we will need to pass a “no scratching your balls” rule.

Why would you scratch your own balls when you now have a club female to do it for you?

Put the seat down rule.

The toilet seat thing is the absolute dumbest debate in the entire history of humanity.

If the seat is not where you want it, then put it there! How fucking hard is that?

The seat debate is ridiculous because the seat AND LID should be down if it's not in use.

I used to take my ex shooting frequently. For a while it was at least once a week. She got pretty good with her Sig p239 in .40s&w.

We went to a party at the local range and they set up a Texas star target. It is 5 plates on a frame. It starts out stationary but after you shoot the first plate off, it starts to spin.

She finished in 7 shots on her first try. I finished in 6 shots with a full sized pistol in 9mm and only about a second faster.

Some guys couldn't complete it at all with 20 rounds.

Afterward, we could see it in their eyes that they were completely embarrassed. She was the only woman shooting at the time.

Could she make a good sammich though ?

Been in a few situations where they required leaving the cases. After first time I switched to 9x18.

Since you hold the title to that brass they CAN NOT make you leave it there. If you leave it fine, but you have the right to pick it up.

The range in Henryville learned that back in the mid to late 1990s when their RO told me to stop picking up my brass. He got pissed off and walked away when I told him that it was my brass unless I leave it and that there was nothing that he could do about it.

A Sharpie or two can make your brass uniquely identifiable. If you intend to pick it up, it's more than worth the time.

My 2¢
YMMV
etc...

Most gun clubs are Fudd clubs, hence the silly rules such as one round in magazine, no rapid fire, no open carrying, etc. It's why I didn't join Collier which was 3 minutes from my house. They used to have a 5 round magazine rule, but it looks like they updated it to 10 last year. How generous. It doesn't get more arbitrary than that. Other examples;

5. All hand guns are permitted. Original magazines may be fully loaded, aim each shot! What's an original mag??? What does this rule mean? No aftermarket mags? Thanks for the tip on aiming.
6. Center fire rifles up to and including 7.62 x 51 (.308), are permitted, and may have up to 10
rounds loaded in the magazine. Use caution and courtesy when firing multiple rounds.
7. Rifle calibers over .308 may be fired for sighting in. Single load only. Why!???
8. Shotguns with slugs or sabots are permitted. Single Load Only.
