PDs rent the ranges, they don't commandeer them unless they are digging for bodies. The rentals are generally during the week and don't occupy all of the outdoor ranges (the short ones up front are rarely rented). I don't remember any weekend police rentals at the club.
The club just paid a bit over $5K to have a failed furnace replaced, and ElPrez is now dealing with replacing the phone pole that is used for skeet range lighting that broke off and collapsed in a recent storm.
USPSA is one Saturday per month in the spring/summer/fall (all outdoor pistol ranges), plus Wed PM practice on the larger 2 or 3 of the 6 outdoor pistol ranges.
I’m not complaining, just informing. The question was specific to moving and shooting, which would conceivably be done in bays 4,5,6, correct? Those bays were rented by local PDs (again, not complaining, just informing) more than two dozen times this year. Yes, during the week, and in the mornings. However, someone like myself who typically only has availability Wednesday mornings, (sometimes Sundays) this means that for 8 weeks worth of Wednesday mornings (spread about, not continuous) I’m unable to use those bays. To me, that’s not insignificant.
Yes, the small pistol bays are open as is the 100/200 yd, range but moving and shooting would be difficult in those spaces.
I love HSA, I just cut them another check and I can’t thank you enough for helping me there, but it’s worth noting (especially for someone like me with time constraints) that there is a substantial police presence during the weekdays, over the summer, in the bays where someone could move and shoot.
Edit- I don’t personally do a lot of moving and shooting, it’s just what this thread is about.
