Lots of good stuff there. Worst thing about the civilian ranges are...they expect something to last forever without maintenance. They all look for something that they can forget about. I explained how we had a crew in the military that only did maintenance on ranges. They were civilians under and ex soldier that knew the score. They did all from build and replace targetry, clear snow, inspect range equipment... I know you have the same. When you speak of sand bags in front of verticals, they would expect to do it once. They don't get doing weekly maintenance. Then after a year a target bank falls down.

Our Chief Firearms Officer for the province has no guidelines such as you've described. Just the simple ones I spoke of before... Matter of fact it's mostly up to him as to what's OK and what isn't...
