Offensive Range Sterotypes

[an actual gun]

Hahaha, that was a funny read. I can't say I fit into any of those perfectly. I'd say my stereotype is being the keep-to-himself rifleman type who just comes and does their shooting, trying their best to follow rules and to not bother anyone. Usually brings whatever kind of guns he has not really paying attention to trends or accessories, anything from a C&R like a Mosin, Mauser, SKS or Garand to a new rifle, usually bolt and lever actions from companies like Remington and Winchester. Despite being kept-to-himself, he will converse if confronted or acknowledged. Being a full fledged rifleman type, he can and will tell you everything you needed to know (and some things you didn't) about the history and design of the rifle he's shooting. Will discuss rifles and calibers till the cows come home.

I don't think I fit into any of the categories.

I was kind of disappointed, kept expecting more racial stereotypes.

I had a run in with #1 this weekend.

Stupid old fart was complaining to me and range master that my Mosin was too loud and that I was just shooting it without any care at the target. Duh. What else would I do with a $40 Mosin. This was on the 50 yard range.

Perhaps gramps should stay home if he is bothered by loud booms at the shooting range.

Range Harem.... That's were I fit in...I still can do the "looking decorative and exclaiming appreciatively every time their lord and master (at least that's what I let Stormfeather think) managed to hit something besides the ground" thing. Without anyone knowing I can shoot.. LOL

As for Stormfeather's 70s/early 80s mustache - don't knock it. It's great for those role playing nights of 70s/80s porn..

Last time I went shooting, I believe it was with my shooting buddy and Obnoxious Guest. I didn't invite Obnoxious Guest, that was my shooting buddy. He talked big about how good he is with guns despite never having used them (which he makes no effort to conceal and in fact told me many of times), believes gun control to a certain degree works, and is "someday" getting a "shotty" which he very badly wants.

Long story short, on the way there he did lots of talking about how many kills he got on Call Of Duty 4 and just because he hasn't shot a gun doesn't mean he isn't a "sniper". When we got to the range he refused to hold or shoot any guns because he was fine watching.

There are also lots of videos on YouTube you can find on Idiot Girlfriend.

Stormfeather can't shoot

The calgunner. Generally a very stoked shooter who simply loves to shoot, talk about shooting, watch others shoot, and is simply happy to be at any range at that time. Will gently attempt to correct many FUDs or misunderstandings the other shooter stereotypes will have. Loves the fact that you can own an AR built up properly without AW registration. Is also very stoked to talk with others in this genre.

We have a winner.

Add to the description that he comes to the range with at least one CA legal, OLL black rifle and you've got the category I fit in (and most other here too most likely) .

[psriley]

I am all of them simultaneously.

[supersonic]

I have YET to witness any "real men" at the ranges I go to (except for the ones that don't discuss such blatant nonsense).

But to state that none of them are real men is a judgement call as well.

Read the last part again.

I came up with one for myself:

The Com-Bloc Nut

The Com-Bloc Nut usually comes to the range wearing a Wolf Ammo T-shirt. He brings a few ammo cans, all filled with either Wolf 7.62x39 or surplus 7.62x54r, which attracts a magnet from 20 feet away. He will have at least two gun bags/cases, and at least three Kalashnikov type rifles. Most of his range time will be spent firing somewhat-aimed shots with a gripless AK and 30rd mags or 75rd drums, with breaks between mags to shoot a Mosin Nagant. The Com-Bloc Maniac will sometimes have an AR-15, but never shoots more than 30 rounds out of it per range trip, and even so, only steel-cased Russian ammo is used.

There you go, I like the Calgunner description too.

Good god, that describes you to a T.

The only person worse off would be JimmyD, who plans on getting a Soviet flag guidon and WWII Soviet uniform so he can lead glorious Mosin bayonet charges for mother Russia.
