Public Service Announcement - Lincoln Ikes Members listen up

(1/3) > >>

Dan W:
I want to inform all Lincoln Izaak Walton League Chapter 65 members that frequent this site that recently there were some changes in the range rules.

Don't assume (like me  ???)  that you know all the rules. Read the newsletter or visit the website or the bulletin board at the range you are using and read up on the change in the rules regarding extended rapid fire.

I did not heed this advice and set off a string of fire with an AR15 that drew the attention (and deservedly so) of range safety officers.

Let this serve as my public apology to the range safety committee and the Board of Directors at Lincoln Ikes that I did not meet my obligation as a member to keep myself up to date on the range rules and be as safe as possible while still enjoying the fine facilities that membership at Lincoln Ikes provides.

NE Bull:
Thanks for the reminder. I actually read the email notice, but had already forgot about the changes.

Just curious what are the changes? I shoot at the Ikes with people from time to time.

Rifle/Pistol rule addition
Rev. 1-25-2015 Controlled Fire
All shots must be fired in a controlled manner and must impact the target backer in a location that does not damage the frame. Extended rapid fire is not allowed, however short rapid fire strings such as double taps are allowed provided the shooter maintains control of the gun and all the shots impact the target backer as described above. Shooters taking part in organized competitions may engage in extended rapid fire under the supervision of a Range Safety Officer. Damage to League equipment due to uncontrolled fire may result in the shooter being assessed repair fees or other disciplinary action at the discretion of the Safety Committee.
