Some points:

This morning the club President and myself found a shot up fire extinguisher out at Area 51. No idea whether this was ARFCOM or not but no one has been there since Saturday and it shows there is a lack of adherence to safety protocol out there among some folks at least.

I did not see anyone put a fire extinguisher out by the berm, BUT, I did see it erupt after a hit.... 

Area 51 has some unique target placement requirements due to the height of the concrete pad in relation to the berm.

The angle (as I see it) of the pad is the problem.

As such we are considering the following changes:

A paid MGAC RSO will be out there while the range is rented, and a CRSO will inspect the targets and layouts prior to the range going hot.

Reasonable.

We are going to put a 25y berm on the far right side so that pistols may be safely shot from under cover.

Cool.

Tannerite is now allowed but it must be placed at the berm and only shot with .223 or greater. It can't be placed in anything but plastic.

Makes sense.

The range fees are now $75 for the first hour and $45 thereafter. No insurance requirement is present at this time.

Reasonable enough, I guess.

Area 51A is permanently closed.

Good.


Area 51 and the 600y range are to be operated one at a time. First come first served but if one is being used the other is shut down.  

Fair enough.

This is all subject to change at any time and we reserve the right to refuse service and blah blah blah.

Fair enough.

We think this is a very good compromise for all parties. And an actual compromise - not "we change everything and you just get to adapt".

Agreed - thank you.

We are bringing tannerite back.
The range fee will actually decrease if you are only there a few hours.

This just gives us a little more visibility on how it is being run back there.
