four corners makes you shoot thru barrels amongst many other egregious rulesNot attachable to firearm, not legally a suppressor. No different in concept/legality to shooting indoors.
Outdoor ranges have used tires like this for years. I seem to recall the outdoor gun club east of Salem having these decades ago. Or was it the Izaak Walton range in Eugene? It's been 40+ years since I have been to either one, so maybe I am imagining it, but I seem to recall that it was the Four Corners rifle range in Salem.
Respectfully, they don't make you shoot through the barrels, it is encouraged to be good neighbors and it also keeps the sound down for other shooters under the roof on the line. Only the 100 / 200 range has barrels. I also find that many who quote "egregious rules" have not read the rules. Is there a mag loading capacity limit? Yes, like many square ranges I've shot at. (Currently under review for modifications.) No holster draws (again, on a square range with concrete floors), very common. Other than that, the rules are pretty much like other similar ranges.four corners makes you shoot thru barrels amongst many other egregious rules
Ok - barrels instead of tires. Like I said, it was a LONG time ago when I still lived in the Salem area. I think it was their annual sight in, or maybe it was the time I did some steel silhouette shooting there. I can't remember.four corners makes you shoot thru barrels amongst many other egregious rules
I've hear no rapid fire, I think it was 5rd max rifles and 10rds pistol, no AP or tracer, and some other rules...I provide tours of the club for prospective members and about the first five minutes of many tours is spent dispelling the myths about the club rules.
No AP or tracer rules have good reasons behind it. I was once at a private shoot on private property near Royal City, WA and we (they, I didn't have any) were shooting both, especially tracer. It started a fire on a hillside about a km away and it took an hour to put it out. You can imagine how that would impact a gun club. Indeed, I will not let anyone shoot tracer on my property - we had a scare last year with a fire not 1000' from my property, that burned almost 900 acres.I've hear no rapid fire, I think it was 5rd max rifles and 10rds pistol, no AP or tracer, and some other rules...
I don't disagree with the no AP or Tracer rules, have only a handful of them rounds anyways, just saving them for if there is ever a need for some in 50bmg.No AP or tracer rules have good reasons behind it.

I used to have Raufoss rounds for those situations, but then decided that if that happens I won't have time to drag out a 34# 54" single shot rifle and get it setup, and it is unlikely that I would get a shot at 1km anyway.I don't disagree with the no AP or Tracer rules, have only a handful of them rounds anyways, just saving them for if there is ever a need for some in 50bmg.
Thanks for this question. Rapid fire is allowed...as long as you are hitting what you are aiming at. This is the number one myth about the club rules. You are correct on the mag capacity rules, which are currently being reviewed for modification (for rifles). Also correct on AP and tracer prohibition. Honestly, I have not shot at any range where AP and tracer were ok. I'm sure they are out there, but I've never been to one knowingly. The ranges in SoCal (yes, there still are some) will run a magnet over your ammo when you check in to see if anything is steel core (as others noted, for fire danger).I've hear no rapid fire, I think it was 5rd max rifles and 10rds pistol, no AP or tracer, and some other rules...
Unfortunately a LOT of 7.62x39 ammo made outside the USA is bi-metal, not steel core, but steel jacketed and will stick to a magnet. I suppose it presents a similar issue though if shot into rock or a steel target.The ranges in SoCal (yes, there still are some) will run a magnet over your ammo when you check in to see if anything is steel core (as others noted, for fire danger).
I was certain I read rapid fire was not allowed and I've met members here and there who also said rapid fire was not allowed...Thanks for this question. Rapid fire is allowed...as long as you are hitting what you are aiming at. This is the number one myth about the club rules.
