Nothing is hard if you have the right equipment and know how to use it.  OR have friends who have both.

Robert, you may be right. Hey, if I put the rifle butt a little further away from the sign I might be legal!

terminology

"short rifle" sounds a bit abstract and contradictory, much like
"pop art"
"fresh frozen" etc.

I'd much rather have a long pistol than a short rifle

For any range.   :P

When this range was built years ago it was called the Short Range to differentiate it from the 200 meter Long Range. Then a couple of years ago the club prohibited the shooting of handguns on this Range, hence it became the Short Rifle Range to emphasize the no handguns rule.  But the new sign was too good an opportunity to let go by.

This one would be OK, then.

Small world.  I was a member of the Tri-City Gun Club in the late 70's, when I lived in OK City.

Ron, we may have been there at the same time.  I've been a member since 1977.  You wouldn't recognize the place now.
