Let's end/start the year with a positive note:
Yesterday I was at the indoor range trying out a couple of new loads for my new S&W 637
A guy comes in as I am tossing an empty box in the trash and the first thing I notice is that the guy is setting up but doesn't have any ear protection at all. He noticed me notice so I have him the lifted eyebrow and tapped my muffs (I plug+muff especially indoors). He shrugged, said he forgot his. So, I shrugged and went back to my lane... for about thirty seconds before my conscience got the better of me. I ambled back over and told the guy before he or the other guys down the row started shooting that I had soft earplugs out in my car and could pop out and grab him a couple. He looked surprised but said okay. The walk to my car was maybe thirty yards in a straight line so I nabbed some plugs and handed them to him with a "Happy New Year" and a smile. Less than a minute later the guy three lanes down from him started lighting off what sounded like some heavy loads. He thanked me again on the way out.
So, how about a thread of generous deeds you've done or people have done for you at the range. We hear all the time about range morons. Tell us about the times you've given pointers, lent gear, etc...
By the way, the 637 is dead on with Remington 158 grain LRN.
