So I took my M&P to the range and fired a couple clips down range, ran the target back up to me and saw that my bullets weren't going through the paper target.
I was really upset because the range made me buy their ammo so I stormed up to the counter and told the guy what was going on.
He laughed a little until he realized I wasn't just going to sit around and take this kind of crap. He went and got the store owner as well as a couple, maybe all the other employees and had me repeat my problem.
They thought it was funny too! What elitest jerks!
The RO (Range Officer) asked me for my gun and I handed it over.
He asked if it was "Safe" and I scoffed and told him, "Of course it is, no ones finger is on the trigger, duh!"
He dropped the magazine and then ejected the chambered round and handed it back to me.
"Can you show me how you hold it?" He asked.
So I moved my feet to shoulders length like they showed on Youtube, raised the gun to eye level, tilted my head and stuck my tongue out just enough to 'taste the wind for drift' and he said that was good.
He scratched his chin then said, "Show me how you shoot it."
I ran through all the previously mentioned maneuvers and let my finger gently pull against the trigger until it clicked. Then I opened my eyes and looked up at him for some other stupid direction and everyone just started laughing.
I asked what seemed to be so funny and the OR just smiled and said, "You might be able to hit the target if you shoot without closing both your eyes when you pull the trigger."
Absolutely uncalled for! I will never go back there again!
(No this is not a true account, but I figured you could all use a good laugh. If any of you are still wanting to know why my bullets didn't go through the targets and have this same problem I highly suggest you visit the "For Sale' section and try to sell your gun immediately, before you kill a pet!)
