[QUOTE="TheSollyLama, post: 217891, member: 9611"] what we disagree is on what is actually 'rude' and what is the inevitible consequence of right hand ejecting weapons. All I am saying is it happens. You can be childish and act like some high and mighty range god that has suffered some offence from the lower life forms, or you can be realistic. Sounds like a case of pure snobbery to me. "how dare they intrude on my REAL shooting with their plinking and hot brass". That's just wannabe snobs at work. We share the range. Ask them to watch their brass- or.....spend your time whining on an internet forum that someone else dared share a range you were taking up about half of by your own admission. Heck I shoot on the public range here- up the side of a mountain, with a few lanes to service everyone from hardcore hunters, townies that just cleared out a pawn shop, plastic gun bunnies, gangbangers, and everyone else. You get to a point of tolerance of your fellow man, warts and all. Not that I don't have my pet peeves for a range. I just don't get on the net to whine about the people insisting on shooting pistols at targets 15 feet away- at the 100 meter range. Or people blasting the paint off the trucks parked with ear shattering muzzle brakes that pick the busiest time of day to unleash ear damaging volume on everyone. If I did find it so hard to be around other people enjoying themselves, I'd set up my own range somewhere. As for brass taking out scopes and nonsense. Yeah, and what if......what if that other guy is really the target of alien abductions and their teleport beam warps your scope lens......about as likely. See, I know hot brass down the collar sucks and all. But it's your tone that even made me want to reply to this thread. That high horse that only comes when someone totally dismisses someone else as less worthy for whatever reason. So they had high capacity weapons, high ejection angles- you could always move to another part of the half of the range you admit to taking up. When I am first on a range I have no problem taking up as much space as I want. But when others get there OUT OF COURTESY I pull up and give up space. If you could have been bothered to use less than half a range as your personal space, then shifting over oh, what, one lane would have put you out of harms way of evil falling brass and this entire thread wouldn't exist.
