Thanks for the explanation. I've never shot at a formal range where I wasn't limited to a "lane". Perhaps I need to get out more.jbirds1210 wrote:Designed to protect everyone behind you.

What is the "180 degrees rule"?KBCraig wrote:You've got my number, so we're on.longtooth wrote:Next time I am up to visit w/ tote 9 we need to get together &some.
Instead of specific rules about bays and calibers, our rules address the meat of the matter: don't shoot the stands. Don't violate the 180 degree rule in the pistol bays. Don't poke holes in the swingers or plates (even if you are shooting a handgun). No handguns on the rifle range, unless fired from a rest. And never, ever, violate the hours of operation, which are 0800-sunset. (Someone decided to "move home" after decades away, and retire directly across the road from the range entrance. And then got all pissy about the noise.Thousands of lawyer-hours later, we have an uneasy truce.)
