Much as I appreciate this opportunity that the club has offered and I've even provided a link for people to find the place. But there is one concern I do have which is that if something does go wrong or someone makes a stupid mistake under supervision, will the organizers accept responsibility? I for one, will not jump through hoops to be recertified or take safety lessons again. This happened at Smiths Falls when someone found a bullet in their kitchen or something and it was automatically the range's fault. So all members had to take the range safety and orientation, as prescribed by the CFO. I plain refused to take yet another class on how to operate a bolt action rifle and make sure I hit the paper. I withdrew my membership.
so much as I'd like to welcome newbies, I have to say that I have my reservations and concerns, just like others. Not saying this is a bad idea, just pointing out that I as member will be quite unhappy if there was a repeat.
