I have been to the range twice, and have seen a lot of idiots at the range with their new guns they got for Christmas. at the one minute warning I saw a child loading his 22 rifle, when ceasefire was called, he just backed up and left his loaded rifle pointed downrange, I had to tell his father to unload the weapon so it would be safe to walk downrange. these fine folks left all their targets on the range, brass on the ground, and 2 unfired 22 rounds on the table when they left. the shooters on the other side of me had 2 target stands on their lane (limit 1) and I had to try hard not to line my target up with theirs, they also tried to pick up their guns and leave during the ceasefire. has anybody else noticed a lot of idiots at the range this time of year?
