Shooting at the Range (Rant)

[Blaster229]

Just venting....
Went to Cindy's today. Lane next to me.
If you are shooting shit like this at 5 yards, save your money, ammo, pack up and just go home.
These 2 guys must have had 10 pistols between them.
Yeah. This was representative of 8 out of 10 lanes.

Rant over! Enjoy your weekend!

They got the bowling pin pretty good, but #1-8 are safe. They might have nicked #6 and #7 thought

LOL So there's that

The should buy a .22 and a case of ammo to learn on.

I had a feeling they weren't the type to be receptive to suggestions.

Definitely shooting predominately to the left . Maybe adjust sights, but from the 'grouping' it'd be hard to tell.
The targets on the right side are safe (except a nick in #7)
At least they are at the range 'practicing'. They might get better...

Maybe they should master a single pistol before adding to their collection. I notice with a lot of young guys they go thru a ton of handguns claiming the last one didn't shoot well...guess they haven't figured it out. OTOH, good for FFL that takes in trade and sell multiples.

Is that damage along the right wall?

Of course it is. That's lane 10. Lol

5 yards! Yikes!

 

[smokey]

A journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step and all that. A lot of new shooters need to suck for a while before realizing they'll need professional instruction to improve. At least they're at the range.

If that target was 3" x 5" I'd say they were doing ok.

 

[hodgepodge]

Were they practicing tactical eyes-closed shooting?

Oh, they wore MDS gear?

Pre-ignition push. They were probably aiming for the head of the bowling pin. Lol

That's very "Teacheresque" of you, but these cats aren't seeking out training. Honestly, I usually poke my head around and start a chat. These were older men.
But it wasn't just these guys.
Now I need to rant again.

I want to go on the record I was not at Cindy’s today.

 

[Blaster229]

Shooting just to shoot because at least you're shooting doesn't make you better.

Maybe they were just shooting Blazer brass....
