[QUOTE="just browsing, post: 1041992, member: 87559"] That would be ideal. I'm not so much worried about people asking questions about my stuff as I am people getting annoyed with it or the safety officers giving me a hard time about trying to develop a load. I love talking to people who are genuinely interested and will always take the time to talk to them, I'm more concerned about creating a negative tension between you and other shooters. Yikes. Like you said, building a positive rapport with someone that is genuinely interested is never a bad idea. I've had people come up to me before and I always take the time to explain things to them, help them zero their rifle, whatever. I'm never not going to take the time to do that with someone because I was there once too, and I definitely know how it feels to be the "new guy." Stuff like this is just scary though. Yeah this is what I'm talking about. Obviously range shooting, especially for load development with boom sticks, is never going to be preferential. But as I said before, us East Coast guys don't have nearly as much freedom to do what we want outside of owning our own land. I suppose noise levels are subjective. Like you said, anyone that goes to shoot and is displeased with the noise level shouldn't be there in the first place. I was more looking at it in a sense of "There's this clown over here blowing people's doors off with that thing." I love going to the range and talking to like-minded people that have a genuine interest in the sport. But especially when there's a lot of people there, that attention can certainly show you in a negative light sometimes, so I was just wondering what others to do either combat those situations or avoid them altogether. Thanks for all of your insight. [/QUOTE]
