If that guy owns a bass boat, he backs it down the ramp and then proceeds to take 15 minutes to load 150 items of gear and tackle into from his truck...because the world revolves around him. LOL
Lucky he aint dead.
I don't know what he was thinking.

I just read the back story....this is EFFED up all around.Originally Posted by MrSplitshot
The guy collecting brass is DEAF.........yea DEAF. He was oblivious to what was happening.....The Range Officer is a total moron. It is his responsibility to clear the range.
Whoever hired a DEAF guy to do this particular job..........well, he's also a moron.

George:
My experiences at the local shooting range are similar. The IDNR built and maintains the local shooting range and it's free and open to the public daily. The IDNR repairs the target backer board and wood posts as needed. The back of the target area is filled with sand.
At times people will walk downrange and start digging into the sand with a shovel and then try to use a seiv to separate out the spent lead from the bullets out of the sand. They make the range unusable at this time and are not suppose to be downrange while people are waiting to shoot. In fact no one is allowed beyond the firing line when people are shooting unless everyone shooting agrees to hold fire while people go downrange to put up a new target or take down an old target. Normally the three shooters at each range agree to walk down to the target together as the same time.
I've seen a certain part time policeman from a nearby small city come to the range dressed in full police uniform and walk down range while others are trying to shoot. He holds up everyone else because if we tried to shoot in our lanes we might hit the police guy. He is a wana bee cop and had no regard for the other two people who are trying to shoot properly while following the range rules. The rules are posted right there for all to see and clearly say that no one is allow to shoot from anywhere but from the marked firing area near the shooting benches. What the IDNR needs at this range is a 25 ft pistol range. But they don't have that there. So people often will break the rules and walk down within 25 ft of the targets and start shooting. They then are preventing anyone else from shooting at the 200 yard, 100 yard and 50 yard shooting ranges.
People do stupid things.
I watched the video and man that was scary. The deaf guy was lucky to still be alive. He had no business on that firing range without proper supervision. I don't shoot three gun or any type of competitive shooting ...yet. But I have to respect that the shooter saw the deaf guy and held his fire to prevent a accident. The shooter acted in a professional manner. But still this video shows why a shooting ranges needs a range officer at the range at all times. A good range officer would have prevented the deaf guy from being on the range in the first place.
Lucky for people in my area we have one good indoor shooting ranges nearby and another indoor shooting range is being built as I type this. I know the contractor who's remodeling the building where the ranges is being built. And the shooting instructors are all top notch at the new ranges. Some are former police shooting instructors and detectives that use to work at the Evansville, IN Police Department and are former marines.

Calm down George. Did you not get your snicker's bar today? You know you turn into a "DIVA" when you are hungry.
Maybe the shooter in the video was training to be a policeman or to help him retain his shooting skills. Besides shooting a pistol can be fun. It's a challenge when done properly. Kygorski you should give it a try. Shooting is fun and not a waste of time for some people. And yes it would be good also to join the military and get that type of training for free. Plus the guys joining the US military can go to college on the GI bill after they complete their service tour.

Before I moved into the city, we would do a lot of shooting on my property. Almost all pistol shooting, The kin from indiana and TN would almost call it a pilgrimage. I guess I grew out of it.Our grandson was a paint ball nut. three tours in iraq and afganistan cured him of that. I used to be a water fowl hunter, and small game shooter,but don't watch that anymore. Gee, getting old is hard. even porn isn't worth more than a few minutes. To all you "gunslingers" out there. enjoy it You sky divers the same thing.Me, I'll watch puppies or kittens on the piano.
