bad experience gun range

[mike1113]

Went to a gun range in weatherford tx. The place is pretty new they also sell guns ( not going to name the place, but if u live in weatherford there is only one indoor range that sells guns) But anyways thinking I was going to enjoy some time shooting with my wife. Needless to say that's not what happened. The range is split into two different sides (or suppose to be anyways) rifles on one side and pistols in the other side. I have put about 20 rounds down range when a gentleman with a ar15 walks in starts getting his stuff ready gets in the lane right next to me and just starts hammering away rapid fires his first 3 mags. So I finally get enough and ask him to move away he politely does so, and moves to the other side and continues to rapid fire. So I gathered my things and went to the other side thinking maybe I went to the wrong side. Nope, before I get into the other range there are about 5 rifles in there just blazing away. So I politley asked the range master if he could move the guy in the pistol range to the proper side or just ask him to stop rapid firing . The range master said he would take care of it. So I went back into the pistol range and there he was just giving that zombie target hell. by this time he has everyone holding there ears that's shooting. So I waited out side until the range master came in to handle the situation. Well 10 min went by so I went back up to him and aske if he had time to take care of this guy and he tells me that there is nothing he can do cause the rifle side is full, and rapid fire is ok with him. So my wife and I gather our things and leave. But I won't be going back. And would not recomend anyone going.

I like a range that will allow me to rapid fire.

On indoor ranges, I also double up and wear both earplugs and ear muffs. Maybe that will help.

No offense but I don't understand people that get upset about this. You are at a gun range, if its not a safety issue and the guy already moved away once it shows he was trying to be at least courteous and shouldn't have been a range master issue. We had this same problem when a group of people tried to ban ar's and ak's from a local range because ar guys want to blast away, their argument was the concussion. I was like ok what about guys with .357 mags, .44 mags, DE 50 and so on, should we ban them to. It's just as courteous to double your earplugs or step out of the range until they leave. That's what I do anytime some dirty harry wannabe comes out blasting his .44 mag. We all have to learn to share the few shooting spaces out there, I believe its your loss to decide not to shoot at a certain range because of this.

To the OP, I am typing this as politely as I can, if you did not like that then I would not recommend going to a range, especially indoor, where full auto is A OK.

If the shooter(s) is on target then no worries. However, if the shooter is all over the place, unsafe, etc., well, that is an entirely different manner.
