My favorite indoor range allows ARs. It gets interesting when someone with an unsuppressed SBR steps up to the line.
Sounds like a contradiction to me. Be polite but only if it works out for you?The people that complain about noise at an indoor range are the same that complain about the smoke from a muzzle loader at an outdoor range.
My wife and I were testing some loads for her hunting rifle and the group next to us were trying to get their slide fire stock to work. I knew they do not allow rapid fire at this range. Found the RO and asked him if the rules had changed and he said "yes".
The wife and I waited till the group was done and then we finished with her rifle. They were there first and were not braking any rules (although they were lucky if the could hit the ground with the wasted of aim and ammo)
We could have kept firing but chose to wait. Same goes for when we shoot Black powder. Some people complain, They act like I'm making the wind blow in their direction or making the wind not blow so the smoke blinds everybody.
We are all shooters and should be polite to each other, but as long as I'm being safe and not endangering anybody or anything I will continue.
My apologies, I misinterpreted your post. I see what you're saying nowI guess you missed the part where I mentioned the Slide Fire thing. I was polite and let them finish as they were not breaking any rules.
If you're shooting your pistol safely and it bothers me, I need to move.
If I'm shooting BP safely and you don't like it. Sorry for you.
If you have a muzzle brake on your rifle and set up next to you, it's part of shooting. Same goes for all the other nit picks people keep coming up with.
If I purposely set up so the smoke blows in your face, that's not being polite.

Who me??? Naaaaa I never load hot ammo... (well, maybe a little)BTW, if you need some tips on some safe, yet definitely full tilt 9mm and .40 loads, send me a PM. I think Arch does a good deal of this stuff also.

Was really glad i wore plugs AND muffs that day.
If I know someone is shooting a mag then I wear earplugs and muffs. Plugs alone do not cut it.
