The state of MI does not allow "humaniod" or sillouette targets on it's public ranges; however, they will allow a large rectangle with a small square where the 'head' is...and these can easily be made from an old brown paper grocery bag.

I agree....it is very "P.C.", but when this crap happens, we must learn to adapt.

I draw my own animal targets.....I asked if those were banned or not; as of right now, no....but who knows in the future?

As for the drawing from the holster & rapid fire: There are NO ranges here in Michigan, that I know of, public OR private, that allow either. Rather than being "P.C.", I think it has more to do with liability and insurance issues. If you see the number of holes in the ceiling at the one indoor range I shoot at, you might just agree. Seen all sorts of stupidity at various ranges, so I can cut them some slack on that issue.

As for rapid shooting and drawing from a holster: I just wait until after deer season and go shoot on one of the state game areas...as long as I have a hunting license and an article of hunter orange clothing on me, I'm good to go. The parking area that I practice at is shaped like a big bowl, so the chances of a stray bullet are miniscule, if not impossible, and the earth is soft enough for a good backstop. I just bring my own ammo and targets and I spend an afternoon shooting.

Maybe you need to bring up that the trap shooters need to use steel shot in order to be just as "PC" as the nonhumaniod target issue is....after all, they should really be going 'green' and not polluting, if they truly want a good range.

...........just sayin'
