You got that right.

Rio is the closest range to me, and the one I use the least. Public range is painful to use. As a member I could never actually use any of the bays, fully booked up. The matches? They are just a constant repeat of the same designs.
I'll continue to occasionally hit a match there, but nothing like the amount I use Pima Pistol Club, PRG or even just shooting in the desert.

Rio is also the closest to me now so that is my default range. On my first day there, when I was all packed and ready to go home, I took my bag and tried to leave while range was cold and the old guy with mustache and beard (he looks like David Knight) shouted at me because I violated the policy. Anyway I don't blame him as I was at fault for not knowing the rule. But he could have just told me in a nice way. Same guy shouted at someone trying to go out of the range with his AR pointing down and closed action. There are good, polite and friendly RO's and there are ill tempered ones too. As long as you do not violate their rules, they will not bother you. When I get bored of shooting paper targets, I bring my gongs to my old hood, Casa Grande ...

I've had mostly good experiences at Rio, but I got yelled at for an action "not being open" on cold range---it was in a case sitting on the table. The case was partially open, as I was unpacking when range was called cold. I stepped back behind the line and the R.O. came down the line doing his 'I'm going to do a colonoscopy' attitude and decided I should be the daily example. I just stared ahead and nodded; one of the benefits of wearing ear plugs and muffs at the same time is that it drowns out stupid, along with gun blasts

Line today even on a Friday. Hopefully all benches will open soon. New rules also. Non-members limit to 2 hours and members limit to 3 hours. Small fire on main range today. I am guessing no metal soon.

No steel jacket/core been in effect as soon as fire restrictions started.
Fire was from a Rambo with a semi- auto beltfed .... fired off a tracer. He left quickly.

New rules also. Non-members limit to 2 hours and members limit to 3 hours.

So this is in addition to the new higher price?
Sheeesh.

With the line half open due to every other bench closed for Covid the demand is out pacing the supply of shooting spots. The heat may slow the number of shootings but opening the other benches will double supply and fix problem.
