Shooting range etiquette
Shooting range etiquette
While at the range today, I had this **** sucking ******* next to me. He was shooting a 12 gauge tactical pump, with slugs at about 5 yards. Was throwing target frag back to shooting line. That was bad enough, then after reloading, I look at my target and realize the mother ****** had shot my target with slugs and birdshot. I was pissed the **** off at this point. I was close enough to being done for the day, that I just packed up and left.
The reason for the rant is this, do you guys find it wrong when at a range that you pay for use, pay for targets, that another customer just blasts the **** out of your target? Has the idea of common courtesy been completely lost on ******* society these days?

Yup, pretty much! I make home delivery's with a tractor trailer. Occasionally I have to block driveways. It used to be people would ask me to move so they can get out, now they tell me I have to move.

I would have shot his target and yelled at him for being such a ******* idiot and so inconsiderate. That's why its kinda nice not having a range here. Its just head to the hills and make sure no one is around. The only downside is that you get a REALLY itchy trigger finger over the winter.

the reason he shot his target was because his tacti-cool shotgun didn't have a grip or a frame mounted safety and must have accidentally went off when he pointed it towards the target because he is too much of a freikin idiot to not take his finger off the trigger of a loaded gun when he isn't ready to shoot it......
