I've seen enough holes in the dividing walls, tables, and ceilings at ranges that I get why some RO's are a little jumpy.
Strange RO experiences:
-Ejected without warning from a public range in Utah for "rapid firing" a Mosin Nagant rifle. This particular rifle felt like it had gravel in the action. I was shooting once every 3 or 4 seconds at best and they had a 1 second rule. I think the RO just didn't like the noise of the Nagant.
-Indoor range in VA that allowed you to fold up the table and work from the holster, etc. Shooting my P3AT from retention at 1 yard. RO waddles over and tells me it'd be easier if I used the sights on the pistol. Ok, yeah, thanks.
-Bailey's gun range nearby here. They wouldn't let me shoot my .45 or my buddy shoot his .40 at targets closer than 25 yards. Because people have been shooting up the target holders. The only targets they had were these dinky little guys. At 25 yards, the front sight post on my 1911 would entirely cover the target they expected me to shoot at that range.... The icing on the cake was that I was told to put my shotgun at one stall and go shoot my pistol from another stall. No, I couldn't take the shotgun down there with me and just come back to at lane when I'm done shooting the handgun, I had to leave it at that stall. Thanks, but no thanks. They did give me a refund, though.
Most of my experiences have been good, though, which of course makes the occasional bad experience stand out more....
