I don't shoot pistols so honestly I didn't realize they already hung low. There has to be a simple solution to settle them down abit.
No pistols? what are you a democrat or DC resident?

I've had this same complaint. I've been yelled at a few times for packing up during a cease fire. Even just for packing ammo and supplies up without even touching any guns. The problem is, now the next person can't come in and unpack their stuff to be ready for the next firing session. It's just inefficient. It's not like I was picking up rifles and pointing them at anything, all I was doing was picking them up and placing them in cases, with the actions open for all to see.Was up this past weekend, and have a few questions. I understand you're not supposed to handle any firearms during the cease fire, to reload targets. Why then are shooters allowed anywhere near their firearms? Other ranges in MD I have been to make all shooters clear and empty their weapons, and move away from ALL their gear until the RO clears the hot ones. Only then can you walk away from the lanes to replace targets. Rather asinine to make you wait next to all your gear than just what you were shooting.
Case in point, I waited until the cease fire to pack up so I could leave. Soon as it's called, rather than an RO waiting with me to pack my stuff, I got yelled at and had to wait another 15 minutes to place my rifle in a case to open the lane to another shooter. Why? So I can just stand back with my other rifles? What difference does that make? Shooters should be made to walk out a seperate door to get onto the range rather than through the open stalls to replace tatgets.
Why are kids allowed to play on the stations during a cease fire, and adults are not? Poor management, poorer design.

Cease fire/cold range = don't touch firearms, period. Safety first.
If you're concerned about the shooter behind you that's waiting for your bench, start packing up when the RO gives the five minute warning. I haven't been to Hap in a while but the crew out there has been top notch in terms of adherence to safety rules, and rightly so.

I've been many times and have never been or seen any of the RO's yell or bully anyone.
If rules are broken it's up to them to enforce them...I've only seem them come over and tell someone in a nice way what is wrong.
Maybe I'm jaded since I only go off peak hours when it isnt busy.
They dont make the rules and no one makes you go. Dont like it find somewhere else.
I dont think the other guy having to wait is that big of a deal...if you go to the range when it's really busy I'm guessing you set hours aside to do it...10 minutes isnt going to ruin your day.
Open on memorial day?
Open on memorial day?
I dont think so...open Weds-Sunday this time of year I believe.
I would love to go today though.
That's Winter schedule. Winter schedule ends at the end of April.
They are never open on Monday or Tuesday.
