Chaps,
Just had a read of this thread. Are there any ranges in NSW that are easy going and a joy to shoot at?
Thinking of my current range the only rule we have is the owner/RO tells everyone when it's clear to fire then checks everyone is clear at the end of the detail before going forward. Goes without saying everyone is expected to follow basic safety rules. Everything else is a free for all.
No range limits, shoot anything from .22lr\birdshot\slug to 50 BMG. No mag capacity nonsense. Prone, kneel or stand. Some of us bring our own targets, bottles, steel gongs, exploding targets whatever and have a wander/chat mid detail to gawp at everyone else's guns. It's $300 a year membership, no other fees at all until you renew the following year. $100 if you have a partner that wants to join. Shoot all day Weds, Saturday and Sunday (clays only) 11am to 5pm 100yards then 200yards. Guest days\bring a non shooting friend once a month, they pay $30. You vouch for them and your responsibility to look after them.
Not all clubs are like this here but it's a joy to shoot at and I've gone from shooting once every couple of months at my old clubs to at least once a week at this one.
I'm guessing I have it good?
