Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Krav69</div><div class="ubbcode-body">LL,
I was videotaping, although this was in 1998, and informed that that was not allowed, and they sent the rules to me to "reinforce" that point. Plus, no human silouette targets as well, also got in "trouble" for this, after a verbal reprimand from some CRC members and it also was in a more recent CRC newsletter that that too isn't allowed.
The board members threatened to yank my membership if I didn't "cease and desist", their words, not mine.
Their logic was that they didn't want to give the wrong impression about the CRC on a political basis, that we at the CRC were militia members in training at our remote outpost. They were "concerned about their public image". (Also CRC words, not mine).
Since then I don't have much interest in spending time with those people, oddly enough, and go to great lengths to avoid them. </div></div>
This is why I am becoming more and more disillusioned with the organized clubs here in CO. I had high hopes for this one too....Stupid people are going to assume shooters are evil whether we are shooting at humanoid targets or unicorns. Whatever, not even gonna start a rant.
