armabill:
Sounds like Delco field and stream?
The reason for five rounds is something to do with bullseye.
Don't ask me what, maybe they used to get mall ninjas blasting off 18 rounds from their glocks rapid fire, while mostly missing the target, and this disturbed the SERIOUS bullseye guys concentration.
Its still the best club in the area for outdoor shooting.
They even do this for revolvers!!!!,
I ignore the rule when firing a revolver thanks, no one has said anything yet.
Range Rules I have run across in NE DE and SE Pa.
Omelanden range, public 10 round limit no rapid fire.
No drawing from a Holster Unless LEO
Delaware state pistol club, private Lead bullets only (an idiotic restriction put in place by county zoning during the cop killer armor piercing handgun media craze),
YOU CAN DRAW FROM A HOLSTER HERE
Delco field and stream, private: 5 round handgun 1 round rifle, 2 rounds shotgun in doubles, 1 round singles.
No drawing from a Holster, or wearing ONE on the range! Unless LEO
Target Master commercial range no limit, full auto for rent, but be prepared to duck when the mall ninjas open up and sweep the range with a loaded weapon, while scratching testicles with their other hand. I came close to being perforated by an idiot here and would not EVER shoot there again.
No drawing from a Holster Or wearing a loaded gun Unless LEO
Responsible Shooter Marcus hook Pa. commercial 10 rounds, and No drawing from a Holster Unless LEO, but they do IDPA????
Usually rules are safety related, due to some idiots ruining it for the folks who are safe.
