Who knew it was that easy?

Looks like a simple phone call can get people kicked from Norris Range.

That's really not much to go on & I'm sure there's a lot more to the story. If they took his permit & range key it sounds like he was probably doing something he wasn't suppost to be doing like being unsafe or breaking range rules. Like I said, not enough info.

I hope it was one of those assholes that turn the pistol range into their own personal tactical training course.

Contact... (for those that remember that video.)

Or blow holes in the boards with shotguns.

What were they doing? To me, the main advantage of Norris is being able to practice drills and do things you can't at other ranges. Hell, the ranges in FL won't even let me do rapid fire. There have been times when I've had the pistol range at Norris to myself and I've gone through drills such as drawing and firing. Nothing too tacticool. 

 

Standing still and shooting at paper targets is not exactly what I would call practice.

If no one else is around then I don't care if someone rolls around buck nekkid with underpants on their head yelling "contact" while shooting.  When other people are around, however, it's time to take down the half dozen or more obstacles some of those jokers put up and share the public range.

 

I have no idea what they were doing either but monopolizing the range like that really ticks me off....as does the shotguns.  It doesn't take long at all to destroy the target stands so everyone else is left with nothing but splinters to try to hang a target on.  This is also often done by people who think firing a shotgun at a target 3 yards away is required training for day-to-day life.

What, it isn't?  But, but, I saw a video on the internet that recommends just  this ...

This past Sunday at Norris, a guy and his kid put a tarp down and steel on the longer pistol only range and did practical/tactical training.  I was only using the shorter pistol only range, so I didn't care at the time.  When 3 more guys showed up at the shorter one because the longer was was being used for practical/tactical training, I decided to end my pistol shooting for the day.  5 guys on a 3 bench range kinda sucks.

 

Went over to the rifle range to shoot a couple older rifles.  There was guy blasting the 50 yard backing with a 12 gauge slug gun.  It was fine until the top board on the 50 yard backing busted loose on the right side.  Still it was fun until a guy with an AK decided to throw clay pigeons everywhere between 15 and 50 yards and blast away at the ground for 3-5 minutes at a time.  I had been there long enough by then, so I just packed it up and left.

 

One thing I did notice is that hardly anyone picks up their brass there.  I reload most everything I shoot, so I was mindful to pickup my brass, but there was a guy that must have put 200 shots of .40 down on the pistol range just to leave without picking up a single case.  Let's just say I got plenty of extra .40 brass on Sunday.
