Sometimes it only takes one. Thanks.
Shotguns not allowed at indoor ranges

well something has upset the owners and I agree that it only takes one but seems like SG shooters were singled out. Seen the rail shot once with a revolver and once with a rifle. Never saw a shotgun guy blow one up.
those are my thoughts as well. The guy explained it to me that after a certain distance the spread from buckshot was always hitting the trolleys. Ok, I can get behind that logic, but that's why a lot of places had the slug only rule which was fine with me. I don't see the risk of damaging things any more with slugs then I do with all the rifle and magnum rounds people use. It's an infringement on my 2A rights, got'dammit!
I know, I try to avoid them and support the DNR ranges when I have time, but the closest one to me is over an hour away so it really takes a commitment, sometimes I just want to pop in local and pop some rounds off. Perhaps, one day, I'll have the luxury of land.
I have a single-day free pass (I think it's for 2) for the governors' gun club if someone wants to make me an offer
Most of the ranges in my area, gwinnett county, have been refurbished/remodeled, new rail systems installed, so the use of shotguns have been limited to slugs. Firing shotguns at rapid fire, will make your muzzle raise and before you know it, you’re shooting the ceiling, buck/bird shots will have more spread. There is one range, trigger time in flowery branch that will allow buck/bird shots too. There must be a 3 seconds pause between shots fired. No stock less shotguns allowed. (shockwave and the like) It also has good rates.
some ranges, will not name, have a ridiculous policy that if you hit the cardboard target holder, you will be charged a fee.
hitting walls/ceiling, is also the risk of a ricochet, that can endanger yourself and the other shooters.

Until further notice, to prevent damage both intentional and unintentional to the range equipment, NO firearms will be permitted on the range at any time.

I only go with slugs out to 25 yards. I only go to 15 yards with 00 buckshot. I can get an idea of how it patterns at that range.
Just finished up. About to grab a steak.

Air rifles, spit wads, and pea-shooters?
