Have you ever been turned away at a range

[wbraswell]

I get it now. More than likely, it's an insurance company behind some of this. I understand that a range owner may want to protect his business from this type of tragedy, but I still don't like it. I can't shoot my reloads? Bye, and stick it. I trust my handloads more than I trust most, it not all, factory stuff. Not open on Sunday? Are you kidding? Who can shoot on a Tuesday that has a job? Makes me ill.

Digital high five on that one. I get that there will always be someone that won't follow directions on reloading or is trying to make the latest .44 +P+ in a 629, but rules won't stop someone from sneaking reloads in. It's not like they pat you down. I asked a local range why the range fee keeps going up and they said the city keeps pinging them with more fees. They even have a lead clean up fee despite the fact they clean up the lead and turn around and sell it. But the city gets their cut or they don't renew a permit. Go figure. The plus and minus at the same time is that the range is making very good profits right now since attendance is seriously up. The minus is that it gets way crowded and I bet they start charging by the hour next. At least they are open year round minus major holidays.
