i was 200 yards down range once when some former jackass marine thought it would be funny to start shooting around me.
I guess he was suprised when I started shooting back at him my 45. (Bullets were landing all around him as he started running out of the line of fire.)
He ended up being held at gunpoint until the Sherrif arrived and took him into custody.
To this day I’m not certain how long he was in prison for... but I did find out he was dishonorably discharged, and it appears the ATF had a beef with him too. (I think he was making supressors and selling them.)
PSA: Hobbs State Park’s public shooting range is closed indefinitely until which point the state can decide whether to fund the repairs that have made it a safety hazard, or to close the range permanently.
I’m local to it, and have seen some of the worst safety issues I’ve ever seen on a public range. It was bad.
Contact for more specific info is Mark Clippinger with Arkansas State Parks. Call the number and ask to be transferred if you need more information. The range is not safe, and it will not be opened again until repairs are made or the trap is replaced, from what I was told.

Those cows of ours have ruined my plans to shoot on many occasions.....I pay to be in a private shooting club but prefer the huge pasture behind my house where I can shoot from point blank to almost 1 mile. I also know that except for a few cows, I will be all alone.
I agree there are local ranges I won't go to despite the proximity and cost, rather drive up to Los Altos, you still have the wing nuts but have more people as RO on the lines and an environment where self policing is encouraged.We all have horror stories, and each of us has our own tolerance levels. Maybe I am wrong, but it should be up to us to at least try correct unsafe behavior, once anyway. I more or less shoot at semi private ranges, not totally private so unsafe behavior is limited.
The idiocy gets to me, the big talk, general horseshit anymore. Some of these fucktards are so damn uninteresting that you find yourself praying for Darwin to show up. "It's a tack driver, shoots bugholes, one hole groups, won many shoots with this" yet they need a spotter at 500 on a 10" plate.
Thursday, I drove the 40 mile rd trip to test 10 rds. A couple friends had brought some twat with a Barrett 338 Lapua, 12 shots in it dawned on someone his windage turret on his POS Mark 4 was a full rev off. The rifle was last used on a failed Buffalo hunt, but he can hit 1K all day long.
10 quick shots and I was in my PU heading home, friendships could have been tested had I stayed, Rant over.
I adapted it to piss local clowns off, it continues to complete some days for me. lolAnd @Milo 2.5 you get me with that logo every time, that's where I work and it triggers me, cease and desist! ?
You must be near our foundry in AZ, not sure what we have in Wyoming?I adapted it to piss local clowns off, it continues to complete some days for me. lol
It was never intended for anyone who works or worked at Intel, it was Facebook LR shooting group that drove it.You must be near our foundry in AZ, not sure what we have in Wyoming?
Saw that pic, can't stop laughing. Love that movie.
I have decent luck just using the public land in the hills around here (PNW/ oregon). I dont set up at a spot where there already people, i just drive on and find somewhere else. Others usually do the same thing when I am shooting (stop and reverse as soon as they see the spot is taken) once in a while someone will stop and visit for a few minutes and then drive on or wait for the spot if your almost done but i usually dip out and scoot if I see anyone at a spot. Just rolling up and joining someone while they are shooting is about as socially acceptable as the chatty guy at the row of urinals... some places I just don't go to sociialize
I try and get people to come shooting and it's like pulling teeth. From late fall to early spring I have steel from 10-600 yards on private land.
You should feel lucky to have like minded people near you lol

I once had a very dangerous experience at 13 mile in Billings MT. I absolutely would have shot back if I had had my rifle.Ive been shot at and have returned fired on BLM land before.

I hate public ranges and 2x for the indoor ranges we have in the northeast. People shooting everything dowrange including supports. Gang bangers practicing the latest sideways shooting positions. The hunter in the next lane touching off 44 mag rounds that hurt through plugs. The guy trying to clear jams while the muzzle flashes 1/2 the shooting line. All in a poorly ventilated atmosphere. Gave that up years ago.

Perfect description of the indoor ranges around here....although I still go. All the distraction and sense of imminent danger make competition seem easy?
Go during rain, high heat and football gamesPublic ranges are like “bad neighborhoods.” You can get in and out safely, but you’ve got to know your area of operation. What are the slowest days? What keeps other shooters away? Peak times? Which... Bench... Eye contact or no eye contact? And, know when it’s time to leave...
