Sim_Player 1,939 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) A couple years ago the Range Master (a Vietnam Vet) chewed out my 19yo son for looking at his phone. My son, went to the car to finish texting. A while later, the Range Master, approached my adult brother, about looking at his phone (my brother crewed UH-47s, in the Army). My brother looked at him firmly and said, "I was checking the time." I'm sure my brother looked like a kid, to him. Edited August 14, 2016 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Already said these elsewhere but why the hell not reshare?"I'll buy this as my concealed carry." -a guy who just shot 5 .38sp rounds into the ceiling over the span of 60+ seconds out of a hammerless Ruger SP101. [i hope they added 100 dollars onto the price for 5 range hits]. "I CAN'T SHOOT THESE! THESE BULLETS ARE TOO BIG! I CAN'T SHOOT SUCH BIG BULLETS!" -A rodent-looking bloke in full OD digi-camo army uniform [i REALLY hope it was a stolen valor thing] upon opening boxes of .500mag and .50ae for the two guns he rented.

Spikester 93 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Young man at range trying to set scope on deer rifle, couldn't hit target. Told me he missed a big buck at 800 yards with it the other day, said buck just stood there when he shot. Dad piped in said ' That bore sighting the store did ain't worth a shit'. They didn't understand which way to turn scope adjustment screws to move point of impact and thankfully ran out of ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 ...looking @ my 12 PG double shotgun. "You cain't have that! It's illegal! I explained he was mistaken, and that the barrels were >18" and the OAL was >26". He was having none of it. I had a similar remark when shooting and AMD-65. My "assault weapon" was illegal, and ya ain't hit nothin' with a AK anyway. I regularly hit a 15gal @ 400yds with it. (This time I was punching paper @ 100yds.) Dumbass. I presume both of these individuals were well educated by the MSM. Another case of dumbass was when I was down at the targets, and some "gentleman" starts shooting. I dropped and yelled at him to "CEASE FIRE!" to which his reply was "I'm way over here, you're OK". I've got lots more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Guy next to me at the range a few years back. "Do you know anything about Glocks?" Now I have no use for Glocks and I'm no expert on them but I figured I might be able to help. "What's the problem?" He says "It won't shoot." Long story short... Turns out the guy was trying to shoot 9mm in his Glock 40. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not nearly as many Fudds (we've got a couple in positions of authority though) and wannabe bangers. We are self policed as a club. If stunts are witnessed by other members, a simple phone call can have that individuals membership revoked and or delt with by the local sheriff. Safety is paramount, hurt feelings are not. All joining members agree to a written safety code, affirm and sign it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 How many times have I listened to naysayers bash the AK as an inaccurate POS. Well it ain't no target rifle buddy, but it does it's job just fine. We've steel human silhouettes at our range, set at 100, 200 & 300 yards, and I ain't picky about exactly where I'm hitting'em, as long as I'm hitting'em. Had a AK naysayer at the range one day, talking about how inaccurate the AK is.I told him it is just as accurate as any other battle rifle, and proceeded to ring 300 yard steel offhanded.He shut up.

BigChongus 765 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just yesterday my buddy and I were at the range. Some guy (got weird vibes from him) rolls in and asks how the range works. We tell him the basic rules for that range, making sure he knew to inform us when he was going to head up range and to let us know when he was going hot. Dumbass proceeds to run down a hot range 2 times after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
