Please don't take offense to what I'm about to type. I mean absolutely no disrespect.jed wrote:At the risk of taking this one off topic, I would be very uncomfortable at a range. The range part of my LTC class was very unnerving as I had never shot in a line with other shooters and the percussion from the person on either side of me was very unsettling. I used to go to a range (same one with the class) back in the early 90's but it was very informal then and I would go about daylight on the weekends and had the place to myself. For the last 20 plus years I have my own range in the woods behind my house.
If you are unnerved by the concussion of people all shooting in a safe direction, how do you think you might react in a self defense situation where the bad guy might be shooting at you? One is presumably safe but noisy. The other is decidedly unsafe and noisy.
Personally, I would try to get a handle on the noise part of the equation.
