Richmond and Chabot Range Rain Policy

[pingpong]

Does anyone know that the rain policy is for the Richmond or Chabot ranges?

Meaning do they close when it's too rainy?

I went there one day in the middle of a miserable, windy rain storm - my friend and I were literally the only shooters at the range. No one else there at all. They let us shoot, we lasted about 1 hour.

I've been at chabot during a rainstorm. Downside, changing targets. Upside, you have the range to yourself. I've also been to richmond while it was raining. I guess as long as the range staff can get there both are open when it rains.

I heard rumor to the fact you can shoot MilSup in the rain. The excuse being it's not hot,dry, and the grass will catch on fire leaving the club liable. I heard the RM or one of the minions saying this at USI when I complained during the summer about the no MilSup rule. Was told only in the rain. Not sure if they just wanted to shut me up. -g

Both Richmond and Chabot allow steel core ammo, anytime.

I love gun ranges in the rain
some people worry that if there precious gun gets wet it will rust up and fall apart before they can clean and oil it
There paranoia lets me shoot sometimes alone

Wow, I'm been living in a cave. I better get out from under the USI banner and start living. Me has many cases to burn througn then. Thanks Chickenfried. -g
