Stuff you've heard at the range...

[Pezhead]

Maybe he got his facts off the internet(everything's true just like on TV).

[archerychamp]

"THE best place to shoot a deer is in the neck"

"He uses so much damn powder that his bullets tumble end over end" (referencing the use of 3 Pyrodex pellets in a T/C Encore 209x50 muzzleloader)

[Daddyo]

From down the firing line:
Bang!
"Cease Fire!" guy goes down range to check target.
"Range is hot!"
Fiddles with scope a bit.
Bang
"Cease Fire!" Goes down range again to check target.
"Range is Hot!"
Fiddles with scope.
Bang
"Cease fire!"
I must admit, after about the fourth iteration I started getting a little hard of hearing on the range commands.

Re: ranges not letting you collect brass.
I haven't run into one of those, but if I do I'll be sure to take my Saiga 308. It mangles the cases so bad they're only good for scrap anyway.

That it doesn't matter if the rules don't say the gun and mags have to be behind your hip to shoot production class. Those are the rules and I should have just known that. Some people need to turn there thong around the right way and remember life should be fun. Oh and by the way I made sure to stay in production class and not open.

It just dents the sides of them... if you reload and shoot them again it'll fire form to the chamber wall and look normal again.

Ranges? What about books? I got one of those big, coffee table-type gun bargain special books at Barnes & Noble the other day, and it was so full of errors that I decided it was practically useless except for some of the nice pictures. In a couple of cases they put the wrong pictures with captions, and in others they mis-identified parts. A picture of an AR15A1 had a line drawn to the bayonet lug and was labeled "gas regulator." Huh. Didn't know the standard AR had a gas regulator! Or that the bayonet lug did double duty as one. I'll have to get out a wrench and torque the thing to see if it fires better when dirty...

Another picture labeled the bayonet lug on a Galil as the bipod attachment point. (They must really not like bayonets.) Still another picture labeled a pistol (can't remember which one) as being a "9 millimeter caliber." So many more errors that I can't remember offhand, too. It's like the editor didn't even really try, even though he was listed as some sort of expert guru type.

If the shooter doesn't know enough to know their mags should be behind the hip bone, then they are new and should be told the rules in the most polite/respectful way possible. Moving someone to open is ridiculous. You only serve to drive people away from your sport by being a jackass. ...

Let me guess TH3180.... Duane E.?

I don't know what the guy's name is. I have thick skin, it will take a lot more then that guy to get me to stop going. I will be there tomorrow night. Oh and you're right I am a newbie all around. Tomorrow will be my 3rd match ever and I have been shooting just under a year.

Pretty sure that's the guy... he got a hold of my dad, the first time he went out for uspsa. My father was so put out by Duane's attitude It literally took me 2 years to talk him into coming out to uspsa again. Don't let him bother you, since you have thick skin, hand it back to him, and try to encourage those it may bother to ignore him.

Good luck tomorrow!

This one here is a must read!!!!!

A co-worker says "Doesn't all Glocks have a safety mechanism on the front of the muzzle and prevents it from firing when you have it pressed up against somebodies head?" I reply "Yes, they do you should try it on yourself!"

That's actually a 1911...

"The gun is not loaded" see ( pulls trigger) bang.......
" I dont need range orientation... I have a permit to carry"

SIGN : NO OFFHAND HIGH POWER RIFLE CALIBERS! " Can i shoot shoot off hand at the pistol range..... it's only an SKS?"

Safety ... but It's only a .22

No thanks, I dont need to borrow a target and a stapler... I just set some cans on top of the berm!

NO LOADED UNCASED FIREARMS BEHIND THE FIRING LINE "It's ok ... I loaded my gun at the back bench but I pointed at the ground while i carried it to the line"
