Or they are playing on video games. Heard a few claim they are good shots because of their performance in computer games, even though they have never actually fired a gun.
Fairly confident I can whup you in Call of Duty, mon...
The club I belong to is $100 a year, and it's rare that I go to the pistol range and find more than one other person there. In fact, most of the time I have the all range to myself. I ain't complaining.I wouldn't pay money to shoot anywhere I gotta use a target stand at all. If I'm paying to shoot I expect to have one of those pulley systems where I can put the targets out where ever I want and no body walks down range so we ain't gotta stop shooting.
I know of a range like that. And no Bad Guy targets either. But they have an exception for LEOs. So if anyone asks, just say I'm a LEO and they leave you alone. No one has ever been checked for I.D. that I know of. They have a couple of "fuddy-duds" (Elmer Fud from Bugs Bunny cartoon fame) on the board who thinks shooting is just for recreation.The club local to me all kinds of stupid "do it my way" rules. Using a concealed holster @ the defensive pistol range is prohibited. I wont pay for that kind of ignorance.
Times change. There are still a few ranges set up around Bullseye Pistol, that is, 25 yard and 50 yard targets. Bullseye Pistol was a huge sport, thousands would go to the National Matches. Precision sports take time and work to get good at. That's why they are dying. Later generation's are so narcissistic that they have changed the rules to become legends in their own minds with hardly any effort. They have moved the targets within spitting distance, and think themselves great marksman with their three shot groups.

Kids have faster relfexes. Speed in many instances, trumps tactics.Played a friend of mine at his house. I got shot to heck. He is also a geezer, and told me young pups just annihilate him in the game.

Nopewould you pay to join a range that only lets you shoot this distance?
