Is this considered cultural appropriation? You look like an Obama DEI naval officer.

Yes

I used to love this range honestly. I've stopped going the last few months as I've started to shoot out to 200 and 300 yards, and this one maxes out at 100. Cheaper and much more relaxed than USI in Concord, at that place the RSO's are literally breathing down your neck. At Yolo all the RSO's I've interacted with have been great dudes, big shame that it maxes out at 100.

USI Concord currently allows silhouette targets as long as it doesn’t show an actual face of somebody; for defensive purposes. Animal targets are allowed now too; for hunting purposes.

Can you share more about the breathing down the neck at USI? Was this before or after the renovation?

Usually most of the RSO’s (paid staff and volunteer program) are a little more on watch mainly during the uncasing process; and especially if someone seems like a newer shooter, never been there before, is TEACUPPING, wonky on the muzzle discipline, or seems like they already forgot all the rules even though they took the online quiz.

Was shooting a bolt action. Guy walks up and says I'm shooting too fast, but then walks it back and says "you're good". So I carry on, then another one walks over and says that I'm "rapid firing" a bolt action rifle. Maybe I was a bit too dramatic with my statement of rso's breathing down necks. This was really the only annoying experience I've had with them. I'm buddies with one of the rso's there and he told me he thought it was as ridiculous as I thought it was. No idea when the renovation was.

So, the SOP there is 1 shot per two seconds. I think it also depends on which RSO you get watching your area. Some tend to be stricter and by the book on the 1 shot per two seconds. Some may count a little faster, so as long as you are on target, not mag dumping, don’t seem like a new shooter, and safe; they may not mind if it’s slightly faster.

The pistol range is another good topic to talk about of that rule, 1 shot per two seconds is not practical to practice for defensive scenarios; and some of them know that. But if the shooter goes slightly faster, but their target looks like birdshot; they are most likely going to say something then.

If the conversation didn't start with: "Hey, there, Lee Harvey Oswald, imma need you to take it down a notch..." I probably wouldn't have paid any mind.

So basically I'm gonna get screamed at lol, I've been working on doubles and rapid fire

Yeh, doubles are not ok. It would be nice if they allowed it though. It would be nice to go to YOLO one of these days.

Well at least the november shoot I should be able to make nice groups lol or try shooting farther away. I'm gonna bring a few HK maybe I can get the P2000 milled in time for that, and PDP ofc

Funnily enough I was shooting a Carcano that day.

That is pretty funny! You don't reload for that by any chance, do you?

 

[MarkH]

I volunteer at USI. It’s a public range and you should see the folks that come through these ranges…vigilance is very important.

In general, they leave you alone as long as you’re not trying to break the rules.

What John said. Good range with vigilant RSOs. I’m there often.

Yea I reload 6.5, reduced 6.5 loads for vetterli actions, and 7.35.

Is .22lr rifle allowed?

 

[2muchsoysauce4allthisrice]

Yes, pistol side allows pistol caliber (as well as magnum), rimfire, and 5.7x28. Shotgun slugs can be shot at 17 yards.

So, if we were on the topic of doubles, consistent doubles, triples, or even dump a 17, on a public day, on the public range, even based on RSO discretion (whether or not they agree with the 1 shot per 2 seconds is practical for defense), shooter is being safe, proficient, and accurate; it can look bad if they don’t say anything to you or the other person doing it because someone will eventually say how come you didn’t say anything to them for that but you said it to me.

You might actually have an easier time at the Diablo Shoot though. It’s not a USI event; it’s run by Diablo since they are reserving the range to themselves for that event. However, they are technically supposed to abide by USI’s SOP’s.

With either public day or event, it helps to have been seen there before; as with any other range.

I have been shooting at USI over ten years and the RO’s are volunteers who are responsible for keeping all of us safe. Some are a little more “overly watchful” than others but I appreciate feeling like it’s safe to be there. Until you’ve witnessed a person shooting themselves accidentally and ended up dead, you gain a new appreciation for being in safe place with firearms.
