Range etiquette

[The Gleam]

So your ideal range distraction is a dude with shredded abs visible behind a plate carrier?

Thanks for sharing !

Uhhh... I'm just... umm.. admiring the hard work to get abs like that - I swear - I'm not gay; not that there's anything wrong with that... sort of.

Someone saw Fighterpilot at the range!?

Range is hot and some fool and friends saunter in and mess around with my target. Such hijinks do not belong at the range!

I agree with you.

I was at Angeles Shooting Range some young people were shooting and acting stupid. My wife and I was trying to video our shooting but a woman said something about Republican Hunting Season and other nonsense. So we had to delete the audio portion. Just young people being inconsiderate to others.

What did they do when you politely asked them if they could keep their voices down?

[Hardwarejunkie]

My advice is to get a Hakim, that way everyone around you will pack up a move, giving you the dirty looks.

Do what I did, built my own range on my property. Now I don't have to worry about what other people are doing.

Not really. Even in most competition events you will have people talking. It's probably only going to be at certain types of events (e.g., Olympics) where there's audience control.

I sort of understand your POV with regards to this, but it is something you need to get used to.

I usually only shoot on weekdays when there's no one on the line, or in a private bay when shooting pistol, so I don't have to deal with a shared line as much.

But back when I shot on a relatively public range and always on a weekend, I was used to people talking.

When I was competing in High Power Service rifle, I honestly never really paid attention to the background conversations when I was on the line. Granted, people tended to keep talking to a minimum considering the acting RO controlled the line the whole time, and when people did talk, it was way back behind the line.

I have become quite the introverted person at the range. I usually just like to do my thing without people bugging me.

But others like to use the range as a social club.

If you need solitude while shooting, you might consider finding a new range.

I could care less what folk say, I only care that they practice firearm safety. Been swept too many times at ranges.

I guess you all are fine with all the distractions. And, no, I am not going to break the law and shoot in the hills somewhere. Thank you lol

What? What are you talking about? Have you not heard of BLM land or National Forest? Thats not breaking the law lmao.

shooting out in the woods/desert by yourself or with close friends is one of the best experiences you can have in the hobby IMO.
