The_Vigilante Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 And the question is "why did they ban it?" Or at least what reason(s) was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirveyr Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I've never seen or heard of a club banning video taping. I do know that it sometimes becomes a pain in the ass when guys need to turn on their POV cameras at the line or remind their buddy to run and get the camera. I don't mind it for the most part, but when it starts to hold thing up, it has got to stop. When I am RO-ing, I try to stay out of the videographer's way, but not at the expense of me doing my job. I've made a few match videos of myself, but the fun factor has worn off. Now I just use the video during training. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankfan79 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Some people don't want to be put on youtube.com. They don't want people to think they are crazed maniacs with guns. At least, this is what I have been told. We had a scuffle about it on our range as well. My look on it is this: Don't like it...don't shoot or get the heck out of the way of the camera. I don't like the .40 brass (hate separating it) all over the range but does that mean people can't shoot it? Noooooooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 We have a local range that puts on "tactical" matches (not going any farther on that) and they don't allow video taping, even if it is just of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maksim Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 that is totally nuts. What are they afraid of? If they want to feel better, how about signing some release forms. Is this the rule of the club/range or the MD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrawandDuck Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 If the matches were quality that decision would not affect my attending, there to shoot not film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonT Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Some people don't want to be put on youtube.com. That would be my guess... My other guess would be that someone shot some video and put it on youtube without first asking permission of the person in the video thereby disrespecting their privacy. The person who was video'd complains about it and rules have to be implemented all because the person shooting the vid didn't consider or respect the feelings of others... but that's just my guess...no facts whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Hamby Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Both of my home clubs have their own Youtube channel. We have a dedicated videographer/shooter that posts videos to youtube. All you have to do is show up and you will be on youtube. Everyone is given the option to opt out at the shooters meeting. No one has ever opt out yet. This year we got more organized and put it all in one location. The last couple of years it has been scattered everywhere. Club Videos.

gabeechman Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 This is about as silly as it gets. I'm with Ty, I don't know many people who would have a problem with it, but know of nobody running film that would post someone against their wishes either.

Maksim Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The only instance of this that I have run into with my firearms forum/group, is teachers. Their school districts here in NJ, came down on them for having pictures of them with firearms on facebook/youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebp45 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 One of my local clubs restricts videoing to the bays only and asks that license plates of vehicles and the range owner's private property not be recorded and put on the web. Not a big deal if you just record your shooting. Personnally I try to edit out any additional shooters and keep the video to just my shooting from make-ready to reholstering.

Joe4d Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Does the OP know the reason ? might have nothing to do with hiding, or perceived privacy, I have seen instances where video guys, never taped, never reset, had to be repeatedly called to the line, once even so far as to be told as an RO "I'll be there in a minute". I must say that the gear muct be getting simpler and more reliable because in the last couple years RO ing local and a few majors I havent seen any match flow disruptions, so I really dont see much of an issue anymore.

hankfan79 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Speaking of Teachers... One of our shooters is a teacher and he posts the most shooting videos of any of us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTact Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Did they ban black helicopters too? *looks around nervously* there are black helicopters around me???? To be fair, we really should respect the wishes of those who don't want to be on camera for whatever their reason may be. But I don't think that it means one should shut out the large numbers of people who have no problem getting in front of a camera lens, me included. What a way to promote the sport.

To be fair, we really should respect the wishes of those who don't want to be on camera for whatever their reason may be. Sorry, but I just don't agree. Don't want to be on camera? Don't go out in public at all, then. There are cameras everywhere in our society. If you don't believe me, talk to a detective or prosecutor sometime. It's a harsh reality for some people, but there's no way around it anymore. If I left the house right now, it's quite possible that I'd be on camera from the minute I left my truck until I returned to it, everywhere that I stopped.
