Okay so my buddy and I went Friday. I am hoping that I can find a range that is more in align with my historical experiences in AZ and not like this one.
We go pay the fee, and want to go to the 50 yd range. Counter guy asks us what we are shooting. I tell him a suppressed rifle and they demand to review all my NFA paperwork. :/ If I was not with my buddy I would have left. Their range-their rules I know but they don't need to see my paperwork. Not like they can verify a damn thing. I could print a form 4 off the web, fill it out myself and poof, anything I want is suddenly papered. It is a stupid illusion of safety. But we get passed that.
We get to the range throughout the next 90 minutes get bitched at for the following violations (we were the only 2 in the bay).
standing up to shoot, apparently you can only sit.
shooting my 22LR pistol in the 50yd bay, it is apparently only for rifles -SERIOUSLY WTF?
Shooting anything without a 4 second delay between shots as that is "rapid fire" shooting.
One guy said I was good shooting my Glock-Roni faster than 4 secs between shots b/c it was a pistol and then 15 min later someone else said I could not.
So I am looking for a range that is maybe a bit more rationale? Any one around town. Is what I described above normal? I would have been more okay if it was a Saturday and packed with people, but we were the only ones on the 50yd range.
