[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 218262, member: 2852"] Me too. As I said earlier, I enjoy shooting black guns. Almost all my buddies have them and so does my uncle. I used one to kill one of my first p-dogs at 500 yards. If it goes boom, I like it. Because of this, I know most of the aspects of all the guns used and know what their downsides are. I disagree with you on something in this paragraph. But before I get into that, I want to make it perfectly clear that I never meant that AR shooters aren't dedicated. My three gun/tactical buddies ARE VERY dedicated. They travel even farther than I do to compete in their matches and blow through way more ammo than I do at every one of them. NOw, a dedicated shooter may or may not have lots of his gear at the range and it isn't a good indicator of how dedicated he is 100% of the time. However, if he has enough there to convince me that he knows what he is doing, then I would consider him dedicated and anyone who is dedicated themselves would know this because they would have had to be just as dedicated to recognize it. In other words, if I didn't know who Tony Boyer was, and saw him at the range with just a .22 lr and he was plinking, I wouldn't know if he was dedicated or not but it wouldn't matter becuase I would treat him with COURTESY. But if he was at the range and had a chronograph set up, cleaning gear, reloading gear, wind flags, a custom rifle and pedestal, I would be willing to bet he is pretty dedicated because I have the same gear and I'm dedicated. Therefore, I would be COURTEOUS to him and be even more CONSCIENTIOUS about what I was doing around him. In other words, if I was shooting a semi-auto, I would make sure I wasn't sending brass into his scope lenses and richoceting bullets into his windflags because I would have a harder time replacing a $2100 March scope and $300 worth of windflags than a $200 Ruger 10-22 had I damaged something.
