I was asked last night (and am happy to) clarify the policy on AK and SKS variant weapons.
It is the weapon type that is banned, not the cartridge/bullet/etc.
Yes, you must be a member to shoot these style rifles and there are no exceptions to that rule for a number of reasons.
People without memberships historically have less regard for the equipment and people with membership will not only generally be more careful but they can much more easily have the situation taken care of if a member does end up tearing up some equipment.
I was advised that since this rule was put in place, they have not had one incident where the rifle ranges or rifle range equipment was damaged.
I wish I had read this before going to Precision last night and roughling up Mark's feathers when I asked about the 7.62 round being banned. We need to make sure what we post is factual least we lead others astray.
I agree 100%.
I posted EXACTLY what I was told. Nothing was mentioned to me that day about "if you are a member, you can....".
I'm not trying to start anything about Precision or talk bad about them, I like that place and honestly, if I ran an indoor range, it would pretty much run just like that place.
So with that being said, I'll be buying a membership now. Thanks for asking Spanky. I haven't had the time to go by there since that day; but, I will when I get home.
I think it's around $250/year but they prorate it every 3 months since all memberships start January 1 (not the date you sign up). Hope that made sense.
If you shoot there more than 15 times a year it's worth it to buy the membership.
