Including your brass and hulls.

But they dont plink you will shoot a range which is two sighters (optional) and then 10 for score. Perhaps twice thats it.

How do members improve their skills by practicing - they go to another range for that?
sungazer wrote:Of coarse they practice but it is in a bit more formal way, shooting at the target like I mentioned with 10 scoring shots to count. Then it is normally one or two more of those sessions and that is it. Also normally at a predefined distances for the day.
I think of plinking more like that hickokcs you tube video. A bit here a bit there a lot at 100yrd sort of thing.

What an absolute waste of a rifle range.
These wankers should be using this resource to bring more people into the sport, let alone support those that already are shooters.

So the alternative is have markers in the buts pushing and pulling targets up and down. Are you going to volunteer your time to do that? If not they have to pay someone to do that job, someone to be a range officer, someone to be a butts officer and an administration person. Can you see the range / club making any money.
If you want to change things join the club get on the committee and put your ideas and business plans forward for the future. Its easy to sit back and criticize others how they do things.
