Questions about the new procedures at the range?

[therangenazi2]

To the shooters that just don't get it. The main reason that half the range is roped off is to maintain better control of the shooters. And to make sure you get to drive that 54 miles BOTH ways. The firing line is over 200 feet long; one of the slowest bullets out there moves over 800 f.p.s. Do the math. Like they said we are all old and slow. the speed of sound is 1125 f.p.s.,so you see where the yelling at someone picking up a firearm when you're down range, or pointing a loaded firearm down the firing line, (where all the shooters having fun are) comes in to play. Count the holes in the roof from all the shooters that have been coming to KCR for years and supposedly knew what they were doing. We don't care if you like us and we don't care what you call us, but there is one thing, we will all go home at night. the safety of all the shooters on that line comes first.

P.S. The original Range Nazi is my HERO!!!

I think I've read enough here and on KFA to keep coming to the store, but do my shooting at my property. The last time I shot here, there were no RO's, barrel flags, etc. etc., and I don't remember anybody getting shot. When someone wanted to check or replace a target, he yelled, and everyone put their weapon down. Let the guy's on the line do the policing, they damn sure don't want to get shot. I went through basic training, damn sure don't want to again! If someone is doing something stupid, tell him/her to leave, don't take it out on the guys trying to have a good time.

I don't mind the chamber flags, probably a good idea, but to be herded all together at one end is crazy.

Wow you really represent the class of people Kenny has hired you have no sense of customer service, wonder if next time you order a large fry at McDonalds and they said you get a small because the boxes for the large fries are in the back and I am to tired to walk back there and get them, thanks for the input I can now save the drive and my next years dues I am sure Kenny can keep affording to have you guys run off regulars. Thanks alot.

Its ashame that this is what KCR has become. Safety is allways first. But to have lazy asses that cant walk 200 feet every 20 minutes just shows their mentality. If the range nazi is that dam lazy any how he must not have much longer left in this world as he is older then dirt. When the range nazi dies off I guess I will come back. To the ORIGINAL RANGE NAZI, You were allways fun to talk to and shoot the $hit with. At least you have a sense of humor. This other guy needs to get layed or get medicated. Being dried-up, hatefull and pissed off is no way to go through life.

I appreciate the ability to make the drive home and I thank you guys for your service, I don't need a lesson in ballistics, and in the 5 years that I have been a member I have never discharged a round through the roof, or swept the firing line. I have seen that stuff and really would like the opportunity to move down a few tables to distance myself, but nope you make me stay right in the line of fire. I have been there when the range officer called a hot line and there was still a guy down range hanging targets, some of us observant shooters did point that out and we managed to clear the firing line before he got hurt, or anyone was able to discharge a weapon, and it was at that point we were asked to check in with the RO before going out past the 100 yard line. I have no problem with that stuff or the chamber flags not a gripe, but I would like access to the full range capacity. That is all I ask value for my dues. I don't even care if you all treat me like crap, I don't come out there to socialize with the RO'S but it would be nice to at least exchange pleasantries. I just think that is good customer service.
