There were two groups of us shooting yesterday Four people were set up at two benches at the south end of the covered range and I was at the far north end where the 25 yard backstop is as I was messing with .22LR pistols. The firing line is about 50' long. Everyone had taken a break and the guys on the other end were chewing the fat and I was tinkering. A car drove up and parked beside me. I really wasn't paying attention to him at that time. He walked up to the bench beside me and without a word started firing a centerfire pistol into the berm underneath my target. None of us had hearing protection on. I grabbed mine and put them on and said a few unkind words to him which he couldn't hear because he was wearing hearing protection. He emptyed the magazine and without even looking at any of us returned to his car and drove off. At least he didn't hang around.
The range is unsupervised and common courtesy rules. If you need to go down range you ask and everyone clears and waits on you. When everything is clear you check and announce you are going to shoot and wait until everyone is ready. Once in a while someone will start shooting without announcing their intentions but very seldom. I always go during the week when the least amount of shooters are there.
