THIS RANGE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PICK UP YOUR BRAS...

THIS RANGE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PICK UP YOUR BRASS... I was at the range on 3/28/15 which was a Saturday. I have been here plenty of times before but this time I was told I'm not allowed to pick up spent brass from ammo that I brought with me. I do not reload but I do save my brass incase I ever start reloading or just decide to sell the once fired brass to fund more ammo purchases.

Before I posted this I reached out to the owner, Tricia Sisson. She was kind enough to reply back to me and basically said that they sell customers brass to recoup costs. Shooters that save brass are losing out by going to this range due to the no picking up brass policy. It doesn't seem like this policy is going to be changed anytime soon unless they start losing business to ranges that allow you to pick up your brass.

I also go to Eagle Gun & Range in Concord, NC and they do not have any such policies in place. In fact I was told as long as the brass is behind the firing line your free to pick it up. In the future I will be going to Eagle Gun & Range where I can take home the spent brass that I paid for.

I do not have any problems with The Range at Lake Norman or it's employees, just a few of their policies. I don't believe anyone has the right to tell you that you can't pickup what is already yours but it is their place of business and therefore their rules. We have a choice on where we decide to shoot.
