[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3239979, member: 5412"] Yes, for indoor and outdoor ranges some restrictions are sometimes required depending on who you get your insurance from. Most indoor ranges do not allow draw from holster and restrict the rate of fire for a good reason. I see bullet impacts at 1' in the floor in front of the firing line and directly overhead in the ceiling in every indoor range I've ever been to. It's typically the new shooters that need to get some training that do that for the most part, although I'm not going to rule out experienced shooters after 8 years of competitive shooting. Watched the video's. At Wilshire range in OKC wife and I rented a couple of CC type pistols for her to shoot. In showing the proper grip, the range safety officer advised me to put the pistol on the table and let her pick it up vs her taking it from my hand. I can accept that. That could lead to a potential bad situation. Good deal, I accept that and can see their concern. When you have a mass of people in a confined situation you need to be able to control the mass for the safety of others. Hence the reason for the regulations. Outdoor ranges with smaller crowds need strict safety regulations, but are typically more relaxed than the indoor ranges because YOU are the safety person. The outdoor ranges don't employ safety personnel so it becomes a range safety issue among the members of the range. The saying that "if you see something say something" is the mantra at our range. Every member has to go through an afternoon of safety and range rule orientation before membership is approved. I'm pretty impressed when going out to shoot that our members are good about following the rules. We tend to not be gestapo's when seeing something that needs addressed, only turning it into a teaching moment which preserves the shooters self respect and makes our range safer. [/QUOTE]
