Check the bit about opinions versus facts.

As a person who has stuck their neck out to ensure other people still have opportunities to shoot, I'd be advising the committee not to accept shooters onto the range who arrive with firearms (implying they have a FAL) and who don't supply FAL details - itll go in a book or on an application form. For some reason (try commonsense or maybe the old range manuals) our club has recorded the FAL details of club members and casual users for years - and many clubs have operated the same protocol.

If you take the time to read the new range manual you'll see clubs are only bound to record the Officer on Duty (ROs in the old parlance) and not necessarily all shooters but I'd say most clubs will continue to do so.
