There was a yahoo in the next stall had a Model 500 and decided to step back from the divider to shoot while we were briefing. The blast caused my daughter to scream from the pain and her ear actually bled.

I jumped in the middle of this guy and then reported him to the management which had him removed but damage done. Any sharp noise on her right causes pain and IF I can get her to a range, it is small caliber and outside. The term I would use for this tool would definitely get me censored.
She didn't have earpro on at a live range? :shock: Or it caused that damage WITH the earpro?

Re: Dangerous shooters at the range

I'm one of those unsafe guys.... I got yelled at by an RO for firing too fast (nevermind I was still firing less than one round per second, which is what he said the rule was, and all the rounds were impacting the little gong at 250yds).

Oh well ;-)

Safety is a big issue with me... the problem is that NOBODY wants to be told that they're doing something wrong. I've even had family members get huffy when I've pushed a weapon back downrange when they start drifting to the side, and they all WANT to learn. It's exponentially worse when you're dealing with a knowitall who thinks he's BTDT.
