Why no ball ammo for pistols but OK for rifles?

Makes no sense.

We don't shoot steel with rifles at the club. Plus, rifle rounds travel at a much higher velocity and break apart, or travel through the intended target into the berm.
Pistol rounds, especially ball ammo, travel much slower. When impacting a steel plate, these rounds likely will not break apart and can bounce back with sufficient energy to cause injury to the shooter and/or spectators.

I'm sorry, but I'm confused...

Holsters required, but not necessary

I went a few Monday's ago. I think it's holster optional- I'd recommend one.

-What does "Loeb" mean?
-Is copper coated ball ammo allowable?

Thanks,

Loeb is the name of the MRA's indoor 25 yard range.
Copper coated rounds are fine.

Ok, I wasn't sure.

"Holster required" and "but not necessary" contradicted each other, so I wasn't sure.
