Range Slobs

Post by Guners on Friday, July 29, 2011

The rifle and pistol club to which I belong has two great shooting facilities. Outdoors we have a big range with several shooting bays, with shooting out to 700 yards. When winter comes and outdoor shooting becomes less fun, we have a superb, state-of-the-art indoor range. From my house I can be at either range in five minutes, without going through a single traffic light.

A family membership is just $50 a year. You would think every member would appreciate such facilities and such an incredible bargain. Yet every year when spring comes and the snow melts, the outdoor range is an utter mess, with garbage everywhere and range property shot to pieces. And every spring the same small group of unpaid volunteers go to work cleaning up the mess, hauling away garbage, repairing and replacing damaged property.
