Living close to DC in Virginia, my primary range is at NRA headquarters. A great indoor range with strong safety standards and superb air handling. However, they have a firm rule that all shots must be using sights; no point shooting allowed. Some range officers have allowed me to shoot from a low-hold position (near waist) using laser sights, but other ROs have disallowed that form, insisting that using the sights means eyeballs along the sight line at the barrel, even when using laser sights.
Do any others face this no-point shooting rule at your ranges?
(I think that rule is in place because novices first trying point shooting may end up pointing high and shooting into the ceiling, which can wreck the target handling system.)
