It's unsafe to load a magazine? Get off the grass.
So nobody shoots Field Rifle at those ranges?
Or lever action, where there is usually a five shot sequence in 10 seconds. Good luck to you with single loading.
I just explained why, without advocating it. To expand -some ranges have stupid rules regarding magazine fed firearms only being used as single shots for safety reasons, I think that this is counterproductive for several reasons and do not agree with the logic of such a rule. After all if you cannot keep count you can always look. However if someone is used to something only being fed single rounds there is the chance they will think something is safe in the field when it is not.
Clear enough?
Yes, quite clear - of course I understand.
It's just a f- u- rule that precludes a lot of specific matches, or even training for them.
Any and all firearms, at my home range, are inspected by the R.O. before they can leave the firing line for removal or racking. And if some ranges consider it a safety thing to disallow magazine loading, all I can say is there must be a serious lack of discipline in the way the range is operated.
Just sayin'.
