Akdal MKA 1919 First Impressions!

"Oh, is it one of those tactical ones? In that case our manager, Martin, will need to take a look at it."

So we go outside and he brings Ms TVPP her BT-99 and we open up the case. No hesitation, no questions about registration info, action, barrel length, or anything else he says:

"You can't shoot that here."

**snip**

He offered to loan me one of their range guns, which didn't work out (I said "okay sure" and he thought I said no) After a half hour of being ignored I said I wanted a refund, and got yelled at as a result. I was reimbursed for the trap tickets and Ms TVPP's gun rental, but was told "ammo is non-refundable." I left the club with a bad taste in my mouth and feeling disappointed that I wasn't doing any shooting that day.

You're there to practice for sporting purposes supported by the club yes you still basically get chased off. Even the puppy is embarrassed.

Now if suppressors were legal would this rule still apply or would there be a different rule should the range/manager have an axe to grind?

I've heard now that some trap ranges have even gone a step further.

They allow only break-action guns on the trap range. No pumps or autos allowed.

See that blows my mind. I can totally understand "tournament rules" or something like that specific to competition, but on a daily basis?

That and vague rules that aren't explained or justified really grind my gears.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

I was thinking it would be funny to show up at one of these "break-action only" trap ranges with a Dominion Arms Outlaw, just to stir up trouble.
 
Not to come to AHEIAs rescue (they can be somewhat of dicks), but the Dewinton Range has received noise complaints all the way from Okotoks. There is a train line right by the range that is louder, but yet people still complain about the range. They also will not allow the use of over 3 dram loads (Federal International Gold Medal are 3 1/4 or 3 1/2); and even thought they used to sell Super Speeds, because they say "game load" on the box, they cannot be used.

A lot of the rules come across as dumb to those of us in the know; but I'd rather play by some tight rules, than loose the facilities totally.
 
Yeah I can understand that Sapper.

I'd be less critical if their rules were clear or consistent.

To put this thread a little more back on course though, here's the Mka 1919 showing off its sporting purpose:
