    SO Aggravating! Range Safety Officer Idiots

    One of the things I was looking forward to and something that would have kept me sane during the COVID-19 lockdown, was the ability to drive out to the Gun Club where I work as an RSO and shoot. Especially since I have a new Tokarev, and another Tokarev and SKS coming soon.

    But no!, because a few idiots the range has been closed to ALL RSO's. It seems a few idiots ruined it for everyone.

    "a small group of RSOs decided to abuse their access to the range and attempted to organize a group shooting event.That would have been in direct violation of the state order and place the Club in legal jeopardy."

    I'm not sorry for calling you an IDIOT! if you are one of the RSO's responsible for this and you visit this forum.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Why apologise they screwed up and spoilt it for all, we have been told by our State shooting group WARA and the NRA of Australiaicon that our range is closed it is also a Commonwealth owned range (Army) so we are dead in the water not sure if the SASR will still come down to calibrate their long guns as Swanbourne is only 600 Yards now our range is 1000 M so they may use their .308's & 338's or they may go to Whiteman Park.

    I get it. I wanted to go to the range last weekend, when I showed up it was closed off. Sucks because my range is more your a member and its more or less a free for all from 7am-10pm unless there is special events (outdoor range, three different bays). I figured it would be ok considering your not in contact with anyone, but I guess they decided to close it anyways.

    Frankly speaking, I'm one of those persons who always respects the rules and always gets punished because of other people's mistakes, and I'm slowly getting too much...
    Bill, I can understand you very well, and second the insults! There are deserved.

    I'm going this morning because I know it'll end soon. We just had an email about attendance, we're now being watched as there were complaints to the municipality about people from different households attending together and being too close during practice. That very morning my wife and I went and sure enough, two guys together in one vehicle...exactly opposite to orders and one stray. After they finished we were able to get down to business but they hung out in a little clutch by one vehicle chatting about world events, exactly opposite to orders. We're not long...
    Regards, Jim

    Its NOW we all wish we owned rolling hills and deep valleys so you can just lay out on the porch and shoot for 1000 yards without any fear of hitting anybody except the targets!!

    That describes my farm nicely, but its

    All ranges closed in the UKicon, it will stay that way until the nation wide shutdown is partially lifted.

    I would assume outside rifle ranges and golf courses will be among the first to re-open, with appropriate distancing and closed club houses.
