Today was quite eventful at a public, non-supervised range in NorCal. I arrived early with a fellow calgunner and his wife and grabbed a good spot at a picnic table. We unloaded our stuff and put out some targets during and all clear.
First, "special" moment happened mid way through a shooting session. We were dueling away on the dueling tree when out of the corner of my eye I see a muzzle. Wtf??? I missed the opportunity to say something because I wa half paying attention to him and half paying attention to the calgunner kicking my *** on the tree. You better believe he had my attention though. You guessed...30 seconds later that stupid ba$tard was now pointing his deer rifle at us and BANGING ON THE BOLT!!!! I abOut lost it...I yelled "HEY" at the top of my lungs. In slow motion I see him look at me, then look down at his muzzle, then sheepishly point it down range. No apology, nothing. My buddy and I look at each other and shook our heads.
About 20 minutes later he Comes over and asks us if we have a gun cleaning kit because there is a cartridge jammed in the barrel. "is it a live rounds", I ask??? "yep!". HOLY +•**. He was pointing that thing directly at us and pounding on the bolt with a live round stuck in the gun!!!! I was flabbergasted.
On a lighter note, There was a pretty funny mall ninja a couple shooter down. He had on his thigh holster and was over the top with everything, showing off to some girl. He would throw the clay with a hand thrower and hold the pose like a golfer for 3 or 4 seconds. It was great. We couldn't stop watching him. I understand being deliberate for muscle memory, but some guys just think the zombies might come out at any second and are ready to get there Jason Bourne on. I guess you had to be there to see the comedy in it.
And last but definitely not least were the the, yes TWO, idiots that brought their DOGS to the range. Are you kidding me???? One guy had him in the back of the truck while he blasted away 5 feet from the dog. Of course there were also guys on each side of him shooting rifles and pistols. The owner had his ear protection on but I guess the dogs ears aren't bothered by rifle blasts? The other guy had his dog tied to the picnic table, pitbull puppy. They also had their ear protection on. People are stupid, that is the conclusion I have come to so I don't know why anything ever surprises me.
Overall it was a great day at the range. The hunting rifle is dialed to 400 and the pistols are hitting their mark.
Ok rant over, oh and btw shaving cream explodes when shot with an AR. We found a cam someone missed and it was just asking us to shoot it.
