RE: Holy *@#$%
There really wasn't a range master. Maybe the guy with the keys to the building. After the second careless shot, so many people were so busy chewing him out that he went to the back table and pouted as if it was going to make us feel bad. He must have been feeling a little contrite, because as we were leaving he said he heard me say I shot the Tekan II broadheads and gave me 2 unopened packages that he said he didn't want. $37.99 price tag on each. Who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth and pass on $76.00 of equipment I will use.
Those folks over there are a lot more forgiving (plus I think they are a little afraid of his super-wealthy-rancher-daddy who's been bailing his idiot son out his whole life) than the people I normally shoot with who are "luke warm" towards crossbows, in the first place. Here, he would have banned from the range despite his daddy who people have come to realize is more bark than bite.
