Ok... I bought a lot of ammo...(7 1/2 birdshot) for practice. (00 buckshot for HD) I went to my usual indoor range. After starting to shoot...I was told by the ranger that I should not be using birdshot. (And I could tell that I have annoyed some of the other shooters for shooting birdshot.)
Honestly... I did not know that I was not supposed to use birdshot indoors. I was told that I could only use buckshot or slugs. Well...how was I supposed to know? Other than today...I have only fired 5 rounds in my new SG.
The reason that they gave me was that birdshot was too light and it would recoil...endangering other shooters. I really felt horrible...because safety and courtesy are the two things I prize most while shooting in a gun range.
Besides the "Four Rules"...are there any other courtesy rules that I should be aware of???
