I've already been invited to another range, but for such a friendly group they do seem to go out of their way to avoid answering some questions. Just curious as to the logic at that range. Ban on Magnums (however they define that) seems to be based on a word and not related to ballistic realities as you just pointed out.CC Italian wrote:If they won't let you shoot your .327 then just take it to one of the other ranges in the area that will, no big deal.

Re: Shiloh Shooting Range
The only thing I can figure is that they attach some importance to the word Magnum... you can shoot your 10mm which is higher than or at least equal to the 357 magnum and even approaches 41 magnum loads... an inconsistency that goes unexplained. I've personally known shooters asked to pack up their N frame S&W's because they were magnums, even though they were shooting 45 Colt. It's been documented before. Hence the inconsistency in their policies which others have commented about here already as well. Their refusal to clarify the point and answer a simple yes/no question seems to speak volumes.CC Italian wrote:Most of my 10mm loads have chronographed higher then or equal to .357 mag loads so I don't see why they wouldn't let you.

Re: Shiloh Shooting Range
And I guess that's the problem... you can ask all the questions you want, but don't expect any straight forward answers?rqFLSTFB wrote:As a matter of fact, the guy behind the counter last time i was there told me directly:
"Man, dont sweat it, just ask as many questions as you want"
A simple yes/no on the 327 may just be be expecting too much...

Re: Shiloh Shooting Range
And that's it... I asked a simple question about whether or not my 327 is lumped in with the other magnums or not? More effort has been spent avoiding a direct answer which just plain baffles me. I'm trying to respect their stated policies and get a clarification before going to the range with a bunch of ammo I might not be allowed to shoot... a waste of time for everyone.rqFLSTFB wrote:As a matter of fact, the guy behind the counter last time i was there told me directly:

This is the attitude that makes businesses succeed IMO.
If they have policies, well, like it or not those are their policies... it's a private business after all.
Just respectfully looking for a simple Yes/No...

Re: Shiloh Shooting Range
And that's the disconcerting part... depending on the front desk help Magnum Rounds has included 45 Colt from a model 25 and 44 special from a model 29. Others have pointed out some inconsistencies with policies as well and I was just asking a point of clarification. Can I get a yes/no?GunsOverTexasRadio wrote:Philbo, Seeing as we have already had this discussion on two other forums, I would prefer not to argue with you on yet another forum. "No magnum rounds" is as self explanatory as we can possibly make it. rqFLSTFB, thanks for your support, if you like tac1, I look forward to your move to tac2. You will enjoy the instruction, Justin is one of the best I have ever shot with and learned from. And Chuck is a helluva good guy. We've been trying to get him to come on full time for a couple of years now, give him a little encouragement, will ya? We're putting in more AC vents shortly, so the Tac areas will cool down more as well. Shoot straight!

Re: Shiloh Shooting Range
In that case maybe you can clarify that No Magnums Rule of the range... I get that it includes hunting loads, sometimes includes 357's and sometimes not, but does it apply to that new 327 Magnum of mine? So far no one will answer from your facility. You can PM if you'd rather...GunsOverTexasRadio wrote:I appreciate you trying to get to know the rules before you started shooting.

Re: Shiloh Shooting Range
You're not alone in this. More than a few have noticed some inconsistencies with how they operate nowadays...pcernuch wrote:we had always liked the place. until we went a few months ago. every range i have been to has been rent lane by the hour, but they never "clockwatched". it even says something to that effect on shilohs website that unless they are on a wait they dont either. well pops, baby bro, and i were in the front range by ourselves and had been for at least an hour, when one of the gents came in and asked if we were going to shoot some more. we had moments before sent baby bro out to purchase some more targets. we said yessir and he informed us that we would need to go pay for another hour. please keep in mind we were the only 3 people on the front range. while that is fine and we indeed did pay for an hour do not say that " if we arent on a waitlist, we arent watching the clock" as a grown man that keeps my word, i will spend my money at places that do the same. just thought i would share my story. great facility, and other that this one gent which i had never seen there before we have always had a great time.
god bless.
