The new range I've been going to has separated rifle and pistol ranges. But they don't enforce it. I see someone walk into the pistol range with a rifle case and it's up to me to ask him to go to the other side. It helps a LOT to have that wall between us and I will keep it that way as long as I can help it. And yes, I've seen several fine examples of dudes with an AR only just managing to hit paper (the giant target paper, BTW) at 3, yes 3 yards. Seriously.

Even at 10 yards shooting at lifesize Quantico-sytle targets, they turned them into swiss cheese...they couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a base fiddle.
No grouping at all, just a lot of holes in the paper.
Be fair - they were just making sure they didn't waste any of that expensive target paper...

Learning is a messy business.

When I see folks gerfibble at ranges, I am sort of glad that at least they did it at a range, not in their bedrooms. You have to mess with your gun to learn how it works. There was a time for all of us when the times we messed with a gun could be counted on one hand.

That being said, when I'm at an indoor range, i am comforted knowing some person is watching the range on closed circuit tv. Like at Disneyland, if your bar comes up unexpectedly, someone steps in from the shadows and puts down the bar, then steps back.

Bayonets are cool.

I like knowing I'm being watched. Today I stovepiped in my MKII once, and I flicked the jam out with my fingernail. Now, before I did that, I knew I was on tv, so I was careful to keep the muzzle pointed downrange while I held it by the barrel to flick out the round. Not really a bad thing I says.

I don't want to be "that guy" someone posts about. :thumbsdown: Also, I don't want to get shot by some yayhoo. Glad there's someone standing in the shadows.
