Re: Dangerous shooters at the range

What I encountered wasn't normally what I have encountered in the 40+ years of shooting at this range. I didn't ask how long they'd been having ladies nights but I 'd never seen it before so maybe they're having a period of adjustment. Being a diabetic and slow to heal I still have the mark on my shin.

Re: Dangerous shooters at the range

The last time I visited my favorite indoor range it was a mad house. Saw the same type of activity and spoke up to remedy it. Told them all weapons down range like the signs stated. I went to the counter, but they were too busy to send any one. Should have just left. Things were OK for a while but then several people were rapid firing their pistol and shot guns. I got hit not once but twice. Got a piece of metal jacket in the leg (wearing shorts). They just looked at me when I told them to stop and I'd been hit and showed them the blood on my leg and the piece of bullet jacket. RO did talk to them. Then just before leaving a guy to the left did the same thing at about the same distance and I saw the hanger react and something come flying at me. Hit my left muff and bounced off my shoulder. :mad5 He was totally oblivious that he had hit the hanger, but it was still swinging when I called him on it. He packed up and left and I did too. I spoke with the guys before I left and they told me it was ladies night and that's why the were packed and had not been as attentive as they should have been. I've been going to this range since the mid 1960's and had never seen any thing like that before so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time. There is very little room aisle space in the shooting area so they watch through the glass, but I rarely saw any one that night watching the action.
