Default Stupid people at the range.

Today I went to the target range with one of my friends. We had the whole range to ourselves and then this dad and 2 of his kids that were around 14 came. We shot for a little bit and then I stopped paying attention and shot once while they were over the line. They were like 30 yards down the range and I was shooting away from them but it was still stupid of me. The dad said "hey, even though you're not shooting towards us wait until we're across the line" in kind of an angry tone. I said that I was sorry and went back to shooting. A couple minutes later, his son went to the right of my friend and I and started shooting across our path and the arrows were flying just about 5-10 feet in front of us. I didn't say anything. When I shot that once, the people were like 30 yards away from the arrows and I was shooting away but the arrows were flying just in front of us with this kid. The dad didn't say anything though. I was waiting for him to tell his kid to stop. I thought this was very hypocritical of him since he was just telling me not to shoot when people are in front of you, yet his kid was shooting even closer to us. I guess with him, as long as everyone's behind the line it doesn't matter how close someone shoots to you. To give you an idea of how close we were shooting, I was shooting at like a 130 degree angle to the guys, but the kid was shooting at about a 15 degree angle to us. It just made me mad that the guy didn't say anything. I know that I made a stupid mistake doing it but I think that the dad should've said something to his kid like he did with me.
