Correct range Etiquette?

Did you keep his brass?

Shhhh don't tell anyone LOL. He was shooting .45 so I guess that's an upside.

[PSLguy]

Get yourself a lefty AR and send brass right back at him.

Would it have been OK to ask him to take turns shooting or something?

Since you are asking, to be honest, that would be weird. It isn't the gym where you work in on the same machine. You could time in when he is reloading or taking a break, but when I am shooting, the last thing I would want to be thinking about is when I can start shooting based on the other lanes.

The key for me when I am shooting is how much can I control my natural reflexes and still not anticipate, and still let the firearm "surprise" me. It is almost a zen kind of thing - Can you control your natural reflexes and anticipation, and shoot consistently and shoot accurately.

Shooting shouldn't be a distraction free environment, rather how much can you control your reflexes despite your distractions.

Plus, as I mention before, that's kind of weird to ask someone to take turns shooting. Kind of like if the neighboring lane were to say..hey dude..what's your sign??

Careful there, Hoss. There's a gal on another site that proudly posted up a pic of her boob with a rectangular burn just the size of a 10mm Kurz case...

0o0o0 point her out to me please. I would like to uhm, get educted in what that might look like so that I can properly ID it inthe future...


OP: I saw this thread yesterday and I decided to not answer because I was gonna be mean.

And then I was at the Riverside shoot last night at RMR and I had THIS EXACT THING happen to me several times from a Glock shooting 9mm on my left. They had those BRIGHT assed SHINY cases too, they are all silver like and so shiny... They actually went up and OVER the divider and bounced off of my right wall and even hit me a few times as I was setting up my target and loading mags. My OCD was really kicking in and I lost concentration several times, but then I thought of you, and I smiled and I dealt with it because I was at a range where things make loud noises and throw little pieces of metal all over the place.

So, that is your answer. Deal with it.

I don't know, i don't get it...i've never had a issue with hot brass from the stall next to me...i just put on my range attire and head out the door

If you don't leave the range with a few burns on your neck and forearms, you haven't really been shooting.

[essjay]

I just wear a hat. The only time I really get bothered anymore is when someone is:

A) Hitting my target. Unless it's a simple case of "we have the same target."
B) Unexpected hella loud muzzle brake action. Until I figure out who it is, and time my shots accordingly.
C) Muzzle sweep. UnInexcusable.

This is my brass collecting hat. Any brass that falls is MINE !!!
Turn a negative into a positive and PROFIT !!!

[Jimi Jah]

Don't get mad, get even. I have guns that discharge brass at all angles. Find one that hits back.

My wife has a little Beretta Tomcat and it spits brass directly back. Great for clearing the area behind you if anyone stops to watch.

Oh no, that poor girl! I volunteer to apply any cream or lotion she prefers to help her in the healing process. I'm always ready to help a fellow shooter out...

Worse than this is shooting at the local indoor range which allows even rifle calibers. Last time I was there the guy next to me had a .308 AR with a muzzle break.I wanted to shove that AR where the sun don't shine Cus every time he fired it was like getting hit in the head with a rubber mallet. Not to mention the guy had a ridiculous scope, massive bipod, AND grip pod. And did I mention this is a 25 yard range? Just one of those moments where I would have liked to be able to put the guys gun down on the range and use it as a target. Just why?

Was this at fieldtime? It sounds like exactly what goes on at fieldtime, but they like to set their targets up at 10 yards.
