Lets Discuss “Range Etiquette” for a moment!

sounds like you need your own place. You know, somewhere where humans don't act like humans. What range do you shoot at? I never want to go there. We haven't much of what you describe here, even ppl like you, thankfully.
That's a good one! Was that supposed to hurt my feelings? My bad I don't go to the range to socialize. I go to the range to shoot. It's an hour drive so it's not just spur of the moment I am going to hop in truck and roll thing. I take multiple rifles with me so it's not a bunch of sitting around between shots. When I am all done by all means will stand around and BS.

WOW! The original post is one of the most bitchy & cry baby type posts I've ever read online (and that's saying something)

If you so anti-social that you are upset about someone speaking to you at a PUBLIC range, then you probably need to save up the money to build your own private range.

This whole thread is a perfect example of why I use the internet forums for information only. Too many people use them to whine, cry, & show their total lack of character. Most people online try to put on the impression that they are better than the next guy. Everyone is a bad-a** through the keyboard.

BTW, I only read this post because it came through on an email from LRH about popular topics.

It's really disappointing that garbage like this is actually popular!

GET A LIFE! and get a job while you're at it, so you can afford to build your own private range!
Kick rocks bro, no body cares!
 
Remmy 700 Is there any BLM or other public land near you? When I was stationed in California I drove out to the desert to shoot. Due to all your previously mentioned range antic of others. Maybe there could be public land nearby?
 
I'm done giving newbies a pass because they are ignorant in range etiquette. That piece of cheap steel case that just hit my 1500$ scope is on a rifle that belongs to a paying customer just like them.
 
Y'all getting a little carried away. No one here is anti-social. If u read my post on the muzzle brake I didn't say I didn't like them, I didn't say don't use them around me, I said if it's an empty range keep distance from other shooters. If the range is packed then there is no other option cool. Also same goes with shooting an AR around people. If there is plenty of room keep a little distance again this is just common decency. When I am shooting a string, I don't like to be talked to I think many can agree with that also, that's not anti social. When I am done shooting I love to BS and talk guns but only after my work is done at the range. As I said this is a private range where u have to do training to become a member so all of these things are not an unknown. Again this is not a PUBLIC range.
 
Tactical shooters need their own venue.
Rifles with muzzle brakes need to be in a barricaded zone too.
Rules need to be enforced on the firing line,imo
 
So many of us are pretty dedicated in the art of not only proper shooting form but also building our own precision loads tuned for our rifles. Many hours is spent in the reloading room with the built up excitement at the next chance to try this stuff out on the range. Over the years I have seen some stupid things that make me realize some people could care less about us load testers or anyone else for that matter! So here are a few things that I absolutely hate and please chime in with what u have experienced! New guys read this and DO NOT DO IT!
1. If the range is wide open except for one person who happens to have a little blue reloading box open with nice neat rows of 5 rounds staggered with gaps between them to carefully keep his loads separated, wearing a can with a magnetospeed mounted to it, KEEP your distance with your stupid AR and refrain from pelting him with brass.
2. As mentioned before he has a can and is not wearing hearing protection so do not come to the next stall away from him carefully lining up your tank break on your 6.5 creedmoor with his face.
3. Do not talk to this guy unless he first talks to u. This is not the barber shop and serious business is taking place.
4. If the rifle he has looks nice and expensive, well it prolly is. If u want to know more about it, use google.
5. Use your 30x powered scope with 2 foot sunshade on it to check your groups. U don't need to go down after every 5 rounds to look at your target. And most importantly don't ask that guy that is mentioned on the first 4 do not do items if he can check your target for u cause u can't see your shots!
6. Lastly and most importantly don't ask for help zeroing your scope because u are trying to do it at 200 yds and not at 25 or 50 yds like normal experienced shooters. Also don't ask for Allen wrench set or tools cause u are to stupid to bring what u need to the range!

I know I forgot some things, help me out fellows on your DO NOT LIST while u are at the range!
I could not have said it better. Thanks for the time to put pen to paper
