I did notice the bullet scars on the floor immediately in front of the firing line and in the ceiling just above the firing line of every range I've been too, so there is no doubt there are some out there that need additional training. In my three years as VP of the Ponca Range and 4 years as President, I kind of prided myself of not being draconian in running the range, but trying to be more informative about issues we would see. We allowed a lot of things that most outdoor ranges don't. Drawing from the holster was fine, full auto was fine, rapid fire was fine, and so on.I wrote a monthly newsletter talking about the club's business pointing out that we had seen evidence of XXXX on the range and created a reminder that we couldn't have that in the future and asked members to remind others if they saw an unsafe development to call a cease fire and make sure that when the line went hot again, the unsafe issue had been resolved. Of course there were incidents we probably weren't aware of, but the safety record for that range is 100%. 24 years in its present location and 47 years in its former location.</blockquote>
