Also we prohibit that "fast as you can pull the trigger" stuff. Fortunately we had the land to install a short handgun range specific for the type of shooting those mostly younger shooters were looking for. We inserted it into a U shaped berm; 15' high. We call it the 10' range. There is no bench setup in there to sit at. They can go in there and bang away to their heart's content and only bother others of their own kind.
