Have you been recently? there are no overhangs at the benches. I stand and shoot my rifles with no problem all the time...
Are you talking about Garland or Eagle Peak? My comment above was about Eagle Peak. Still go there a lot for pistols, but haven't been to rifle range in a while.

Re: Eagle Peak and Garland Gun Range

Don't know for certain the reason for no FMJ rule, but I've heard that both that and the low ceilings are "safety precautions" mandated by their insurance company. No FMJ to reduce richochets and low ceilings to lessen over shooting the berm.

I don't like that no FMJ rifle ammo is allowed, nor that their overhangs are down too low to shoot an AR-15 with 30-round mag. Not the best place to take your AR or AK for good cheap fun.
