I've got a really nice range next to me that it easy and convenient. Didn't expect them this early. Maybe just an unlucky day for me...

" Groups you can cover with a dime!" is next.
Of course those will be the kind of groups the rifle they left at home shoots.....

That one will inevitably follow..... Had one guy tell me his .280 shot absolutely flat to 200 yards, then it began to rise.....

Then there will be the "xxx Remchester" isn't good for deer because the bullet is moving so fast it doesn't have time to expand.

When he finally hit the target at 100 yardsand his dot at 500 yards didn't even hit the berm he said " this bullet must be way flatter than I thought!"...

I've met folks at the range that if I could have recorded what they said and play it back for them 10 years later they would swear they didn't make those comments.
Oh wait ... nevermind

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I thought we had the most idiotic range members, but I guess not. I always love it when some lardass shows up, sits down at the bench to my left, and commences firing rounds as fast as he can squeeze the trigger, slowing down only to change clips, through his new AR he just bought at Academy. I love that hot brass flying all over the freaking place, including myself and my bench.

My 4 year old daughter at the range
(Man asks, is is clear to go downrange?
4 year old daughters reply......its not clear because you have a bullet ready to shoot and your bolt is not open.)
Man ejects live round and leaves bolt open
Daughter......OK, its clear now!
This was 4 years ago as my daughter is now approaching 9 years of age in September.
