I second that. This is one of the reasons I chose SVRC.

You illustrate why there are rules at ranges. Those who make them work on the theory of "If it can happen, it will happen, but not here if we don't allow certain practices".

Face it. NOBODY likes rules that keep them from doing whatever they want. Look at the Freeway for a perfect example. How many drivers view the speed LIMIT signs as merely "Suggested Speeds" then piss and moan when they get a ticket for driving 25% over those limits?

My point exactly. Semiautomatic rifles on the other hand, especially but not limited too SKS's and to a much lesser extent AR-15s have a high enough probability of slam firing. With a constant high volume of shooters the chance of a bad incident is reasonably probable. This is why I believe the one round limit is in place.

Overly cautious rule, will drive people away. Regardless of how common you think slam fires are. I probably saw over two million rounds down range in 4 years and saw a whopping 2 guns slam fire.

It's not my range, so I don't make the rules. I just decide who gets my money

Exactly. They can limit their liability reductio ad absurdum. They will be simultaneously limiting their income from me and people like me. Sounds like thats not an issue for them; like I said there is an abundance of idiots in this world. That way we stay happy and the dunces that go to ranges with derpshit rules stay happy because we never have to shoot on the same range! Win-win-win! Yay freedom!

I've read three pages so far and finally decided to add my .02
Someone above said that it is a busy range and had people waiting.
I'd bet that of those people, a good share of them were new to that range.
I'd also bet that the large majority of them will never go back.

Our population is growing with new shooters. The amount of places to shoot is shrinking.

Once people figure out what a F U place that is, they won't be back.

Yet with "all those people that are driven away", the range continues to be busier and busier with waiting lists on weekends for shooting positions.

There's a long wait for help at the DMV too. Doesn't mean I go there any time I don't have to. There will always be people who don't know better, or put up with it because they're too lazy to drive any further, or people who like it.

There will also be people who dont. If their main customer base likes it, why change anything? Why drive away your customer base to attract a new one? You don't. You do what works for you, and the others will go elsewhere.

The fact that every range has a line on weekends tells you it's a supply and demand issue, not that people think that single loading is the best thing since sliced bread

I go to a number of ranges and "pits", so I am "hitting the next one" and am freely doing so. I like going to new ones every once in a while though. I know it's personal for you, but one round at a time, super busy, waiting lists... Doesn't sound like fun to me.

This could possibly be solved by the upcoming north shoot

Clearly I don't post a lot. But some of the comments here are absurd.

kenmore is absolutely a great gun club.
I've had nothing but great experiences there. Typically people reference crotchety old guys when they are doing something they shouldn't be. Plus everyone that works the rifle range are good people.

And for you tacticool terry types. That need a 40 round mag. Stay away! We don't want you there anyway. Your the people that will get a place like that shut down. Chances are 90% of the people that need more than one round at a time, aren't gonna hit the target past 25 yards consistently anyways.

And .22LR has killed more people than any other caliber in the history of evar right?

mmmmkay.

I'm a member at Kenmore, but I rarely go and I do use all of the ranges.

I do think some of the rules are "Because we've always done it that way". The people who are willing to spend their time running the club are often the same people. I can't afford the time, so, I have to live with what they do. One rule I particularly hate is I can't shoot standing, even on the member's range. I have a couple of rifles that you do NOT shoot from a bench if you value your shoulder at all. (Dangerous Game calibers)

As a member, one can use the non-public ranges at non-public times. That makes it worthwhile. No crowds. Of course, you have to go to "training" once a year.

A club official explained it to me as "Kenmore is a marksmanship range". In this case, that means holes in the center of a paper target, I believe.

Proving my point. Like something I don't like? Go away.

Need more than one round at a time? One round groups are always perfect aren't they! Some people prefer to shoot their dot drills with 10 round mags loaded so they can focus on actuating the bolt with minimal impact on shooting position and sight alignment. Magazines aren't just for AR15s now a days old-timer.

But again, anything that isn't our way is stupid and should be banned is the same mentality that shotgun shooters took when the lawmakers in CA came for pistols and rifles. Your attitude divides the hobby, and it's people who think like you that will stand by and watch as WA tries to copycat CA

One can practice marksmanship while having multiple rounds in a magazine. Ever been to an Appleseed shoot?
