The DPC is a safe place to shoot. The only way that is going to continue to happen is that we monitor each other. If someone is doing something un safe, it was, and still remains, the obligation of each member to remind the offender that there is a safety reason for those rules. If compliance doesn't happen, the Carrollton PD, is interested in safety also. Give them a call if there is a violation. They'll get there PDQ.. They have a Police Only Range on our property and are as interested in safety as we are. Its as safe as long that the membership insists that it remain so. We, as members, follow the 'rules' and police each other. If you want to shoot ARs on a Pistol range, you are invited to go elsewhere.

I've been a member at the DPRC, DPC, since the mid seventies. You aren't likely to find as safe a place to shoot as the DPC.

The only way that it can remain safe is that each member insists that it remain so.

Comments or PMs are welcome.

Since 'Blinking Dog' asked his question and hasn't seen fit to respond, it'd seem that he has made a decision.

For other folks who read these pages, I'd like to suggest that DPC is as safe as we, as members, can make it.

I kinda like the safety aspect of the DPC. We 'police' each other. If you see me doing something unsafe, please tell me about it. I will return the favor. It is as safe as we make it. Should there be a belligerent trespasser or shooter who insists on getting into a spitting match, a quick 'phone call to Carrollton PD will resolve the issue.

Elm Fork servs a great purpose. As a Public Park, it is available to all. DPC is a tad different.

Just because it is pretty much 'pistols/revolvers' only does not mean that you can bang away with a .308 TC Contender. We have sensible rules and they have teeth.

Since we share the property with the Carrollton PD, and other agencies on occasion, those good folks are interested in keeping the place open and safe. I have been a member since about '68 or so. Its about as good a place as you're likely to find.

If economy is your only concern, there are places that cost less. Elm Fork is one. There are also a few indoor ranges in this MetroMess that we call Home. Check them out.
