Yes, you have got to work to the lowest person, I have seen some complete FU**wits on ranges.
You know they are FU**wits as, 1 they do not like being challenged 2 They have been doing it for years.
They muzzle sweep, walk forward on a live range, have dodgy reloads and 1000's other things.
Some clubs that are not on MOD ranges are excellent ITSC is a fine example of good range running.
A now closed range near Luton was bad. At one stage you would go forward to change your target only to turn round
and be looking down the barrel of someone just arriving and getting set up. Reply to what the FU** are you doing was what's your problem.
It got better but should never have been allowed from day 1.
The rule for being a RCO was 6 months assisting at your club before attending RCO. Some clubs flaunted that and sent any one.
We now all pay the price for those SH** run clubs with a extra 2 days. Same as Shooters certs some clubs play fast & loose with issuing them, some clubs did training and monitored people. Now the NRA is issuing them to ensure integrity apparently. They are not charging any more for them and its a bucket load of work to collate & print all the cards so we have some SH** run club to thank for that.
As a Club sec it a bucket load of work for me as well as we are a big club. So again thank you to every SH** run club that has bucked the system and lead to that.
