New Wilbur Wright DNR RO

[Bisley Man]

Does anyone know what happened to Don or Fred,the RO's at Wilbur Wright? The last 2 times there was an RO from Atterbury in attendance. The first time 3 weeks(?) ago this man told me he got a call to go to WW that morning. Doesn't sound good to me,Don and Fred were ALWAYS there, and all of a sudden, DNR has to call someone else. Anyone know what's up? Did I just go there when the other 2 were off?

Maybe they retired?

Hopefully nothing bad happened to them.

The new guy was there the past two times I went as well. I just got back from there about an hour ago. The guy is really uptight. I'd like to see Don and Fred back.

One only has to ponder what putting up with a bunch of INGOers (specifically RogerB, BloodE, ATF_C) can do to a person!!!

Well Zombies have a way of following us around so maybe....

I haven't been to WW in quite awhile due to crazy work hours of late.
Hope to get out there soon. Some people complained about Fred and Don, but I never had a problem with either of them and always entered into conversations with them. Hope all is well.

I have been to the Wilbur Wright range three times and have never seen an RO. Usually it's just my small group along with a few other shooters and we decide amongst ourselves when to call the range cold to check targets. Is it only on weekends maybe?

You always do this even when the ROs are there.

 

[RogerB]

somebody say Zombies?????

Yeah a couple weeks back ATF and I showed up there around 9 or 10am on a weekend and the gates were closed. Not a soul around, but the range flags and stars and bars were flying.

The guy from Atterbury finally arrived and open it up for us. All he would say is that something happened and that he was called to come run the range. I didn't think he meant permanently, but who knows.

I'm off the rest of the week, might have to head up there and keep those central Indiana Zombie hordes in check!

actually sounds a bit more involved/serious/permanent than I had at first read-into this.

So, hope everything is okay. Especially no budget cut-backs in this area.

Ah, I just assumed you all meant RO as in someone there in charge of the line. The only guys I ever see are the ones who stop by periodically to check those silly cards. I guess that's who they are then, ROs. I never knew!

On Saturday, the new RO asked if we'd been here before... we said yes, many times...he still gave us the rules lecture.
I think he was a little uptight because the range was somewhat crowded & he was trying to keep track of everything. He only yelled at us for cutting loose a volley of rapid fire.

Fred and Don are no longer employed by the DNR. The DNR is in the process of hireing new RSO's.

Umm are you by chance the new guy everyone is referring too?

 

[ATF Consumer]

Well the new guy got on me a few times while I was at the 25 yard area because I had my Glock holstered
At first I thought it was because the line was cold and it was an Atterbury rule that all weapons had to be out on the table, but later he came back and got on me about having it holstered again while the line was hot .
I didn't question him, just complied with his order.
I'm surprised he didn't get on me again as I was leaving for having it holstered
He was a nice guy, just trying to enforce the rules as he knows them.
He actually did apologize to me as I was leaving for getting on me harshly, so I said it was not a problem and that safety is priority. I told him that as soon as I arrived on the line, I noticed a fellow shooter at the table next to me had his AK pointing to the left, right at me and had asked him to please point it down range. He told me sorry and that it wasn't loaded. I told him that I didn't know that.

No sir, I am not the new guy. I have never been to WR. I am employed as a CRSO at the Atterbury range.

Don and Fred,we'll miss you

I hope to see you guys again some day. You men did a good job(all by themselves,DNR)keeping Wilbur Wright as safe as one man at a time could. Thank you for making WW range BETTER than it was. Thank you for putting up with jerks who won't follow rules and educating them. I remember one tough looking man telling Don to shove the rules.....Don told him to follow them or leave, he followed the rules! Don YOU HAD FRIENDS TO BACK YOU UP,I HOPE YOU KNEW THAT! Good luck, gentlemen, another Fred.
