They’ve been featured in the media, papers and their online presence is undeniably massive.

I highly suggest you show your support if possible, even just a like on the Facebook page goes a long way, the more they can advocate for all shooters the more weight they will carry.

I was about to sign up, but your telling me they have rules like this?
Do you know if this is actually the case or just rumor? I can't understand why any range would want a rule and stupid as that.

Gamerancher wrote:The single load rule is applied at some ranges due to the fact that it is a lot easier to call a cease-fire and clear the line. "fire off your last shot", is a common range call just before a cease-fire. It allows the range officer to clear the line a lot quicker. "Hang on, I've still got x-rounds in the mag", just creates problems for the range officer.
If you require loading a magazine for testing purposes, i.e, making sure your u-beaut reload will actually cycle from the mag, a quick word with the range officer before-hand will usually result in permission being given. This usually only applies to long-arms. I've never heard of pistol ranges enforcing a one-shot rule.
The "one shot" rule does't apply if you are shooting in a competition that requires multiple shots or magazine loading.
