I’ve seen plenty of people at the range who obviously have theme music playing in their head so loud you can about hear it yourself. They usually are wearing tactical clothing festooned with Punisher skulls and moral patches, tacticool glasses, swagger about as they set their gear up on a bench, then stand back and hold court as they survey the firing line of shooters for ones who actually hit what they aim at. After determining whether they have a chance to impress or not, they may decide to actually fire a round, or pack up and leave after strolling the line a few times…..No need for any devices to hear music at the range.
Setting up I can hear the 1812 overture playing in my head.
For some reason it goes well with the background noise from the skeet range.
Leaning in over the scope for the first shot off the bench
the opening riff from Thunderstruck takes over,
and by the time I finish the first box I find myself hearing Riders on the Storm.
The back beat fits the bolt motions and chambering of cartridges.
What? Doesn't everybody? The rhythm is there, you can feel it.
Slows the heart rate down and improves my focus.
