Good job, guys!
Well, I'm proud of you guys! Nice to know that as a new member, I'm part of a discussion group of people who have their heads on straight. Not kidding. Sad to hear these stories, though. I too have had similar hair-raising experiences. Fortunately it was only once, but at a private wooded range, after repeatedly asking people to stop shooting while my guests and I were downrange (this was after we got a verbal by the the other parties that it was OK to check targets) I had a very unnerving feeling come over me. These people were not supposed to be here, and confrontation at that point could have gotten ugly. I covertly scooped up and loaded my carry gun, gathered my friends up along with our items, and left as quickly as possible. It's a sad day when you actually feel you have to defend your "collective" butt at a normally good shooting range. Plus, this was a place that I paid yearly dues on, had a private gate code, the whole nine yards, and paid extra for range upkeep too. ...Well, poop happens,and sometimes it rains poop. Just be sure you have the right kind of attitude + boots and raincoat to get home safely. Time for a record of their car license plate numbers and a call to the range president on the way home, and maybe tell the whole club. Yeah, I like shooting alone more and more too...
