Woody- what are the restrictions? I'm interested in any input.
DO NOT DO IT!!! New crop of range officers are dickheads. I couldn't take anymore and left after 15 plus years. Also Hours suck. Attitude sucks. Go up the road 10 minutes and join Andover. The way a club should be.
If the ROs are dickheads, maybe it was you that did something wrong. There was one bad RO there that would get upset over a member not following safety guidelines that should be used at any range. However, I'm more than certain he has been told to tone his demeanor down.
I got called out by a mod, no less, on another thread over a year ago because we did not see eye to eye with safety issues on a gun range that required an RO. However, there have been numerous threads about the lack of safety written by NES members that belong to other clubs that do not have an RO, so it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. In addition, IIRC, that same mod complained about people shooting and hitting the ceiling or overhead barrier (I forget which).
