Went to the range today with my B-I-L and his son. We were shooting a little bit of both shotgun and rimfire rifles when we decided to move to the 200yrd range.
The 200 yrd range just had a new raised berm with retaining wall put in and so the permanant firing line is all mud. We moved over 20 feet from the far right lane and set up on undisturbed soil. This is the only place to set up besides moving forward of the firing line(berm). We shoot for 10 mins or so and then HE shows up.
He is the same guy I have had run ins with on two other dates (1 yr ago and 5-6 yrs ago). He says at first we can't shoot from were we are at because we aren't on the permanant firing line. "It's totally mud and I don't want to tear it up....or get muddy or shoot in front of the line." He then tells me I need to move my targets laterally so I'm not muzzle pointing towards the access road at my angle. "What are you talking about?, I would have to turn at a 45 degree angle to even get near the road and that wouldn't be any different then if I was firing from the permanant berm." Then he tells me to move again and I refuse. "We are being perfectly safe. "
Now he blurts out he wants to see my membership card. "I said the only way you are seeing my card is if you have yours out first." He then insults my weight, that he remembers me from before and that I have gained weight. I said "Yeah I have gained some weight and I see your still an <removed>."
He mentions that I can report him to the committee if I want and that he runs the CMP shoots. " I don't give a <removed> what you run and go get bent."
He then turns away and drives off.
This is the only guy I have ever had problems with. Should I mention the last two incidents were the fact I was there first and he wanted to use a conflicting range where both can't be live at the same time.
Just wanted to get it off my chest. Constructive comments?
