Took the boy to the range again this past weekend.
Set up targets and sure enough, as we get back to the benches, another guy and young man show up. We dutifully wait while they stick up targets.
They choose to set up on a bench 3 down from us. There must be over 20 benches open there.
We shoot for about 10 minutes and couple older guys show up. They choose to set up on bench 3 and 4. We are on 5 and the guy and boy he's teaching is on 2. All the while there are at least 15 open benches on the opposite side of us.
When we are about to go cold so they could set up targets, one of the 2 older guys tells me the other is fairly deaf from shooting "a lot". I mention to my boy to make sure to keeps his ears on. The guys says yes, because John, the deaf one will be shooting a 300 win mag.
These guys set up targets and proceed to start shooting. I had my son move down a few benches for separation and have him shooting diagonally back at our targets.
John torches one off. The next shot I hear an exclamation and a moan. Look over, and john the deaf shooter has his head laying on the bench moaning. Not so sure he didn't bust the bridge of his nose.
Later on John bailed and his buddy remained right next to me shooting something large (300 mag maybe) with a muzzle brake right next to me. Then he transitions over to his 35 Whelen which I believe is also braked. The guy shoots, looks up just long enough to site with his spotter, leans back down, jacks a shell in, sites and shoots. This takes about 20 seconds. The guy does this with at least 20 rounds non-stop.
What the heck? Do people have no decency or courtesy?
Rant off.
