Haha, I carry an SP 101 every day. Load up some hot loads in an indoor range and that thing gets the respect of everyone around...
I am 27 and constantly embarrassed by my generation. And those a few years younger than me seem worse. It makes it eaiser for me to get ahead in life though, it's amazing what pulling your pants up and using some manners will get you.
I stopped shooting at our local public range some years ago just because of this issue and related problems arising from it.
You want to know why younger people act like idiots at the range?
Because the older generation doesn't want to teach anything anymore. If half the amount of people who complain about how the younger generation act would shut up and actually get off their butts and teach the younger generation marksmanship, weapons maintenance, range safety, etc. there wouldn't be a problem.
Who taught the older generation to shoot? Their older generation. Seems like that got lost in translation.
I was waiting for that. I am 24 and have to agree with you. It seems like the younger generation already knows everything and you can't teach them anything anymore. There is no respect for elders these days. I have a guy that I work with that is the same age as me and he calls everybody man regardless of age. I am always getting on him for it "If he has a few years on you call him sir not man." My father is a Marine Colonel and he would kill me if I called an older gentlemen man.Now tell us how to get the younger guys to listen to us older guys, instead of acting like they know it all allready.
"Oh man, those home defense rounds have gone bad. See how the bullet isn't as shiny as mine. I'd throw those out." - HILARIOUS
Thank you for proving my point...Now tell us how to get the younger guys to listen to us older guys, instead of acting like they know it all allready.
So your on a shooting range, with you know, guns going off, and that bothered you?
I'd jump in and practice with him.......but I can see how that would be irritating. Think of it as stress fire practice?
Thanx, Russ
