So the majority of the thread has turned into a discussion on social profiling :barf:
My last three visits to a public range (about three years ago) made me realize that just like a driver's license,
anybody can get one, whether they're proficient at it or completely incompetent, and allowed to operate a pontentially deadly weapon regardless. Unfortunately at a shooting range one does not have the option to switch lanes, speed up or slow down and get away from the deficient operator.
My advice is join a private club. The caliber of people one encounters there are more refined in what we do and have a greater appreciation, respect, and understanding of our sport
