Well I am a sportsman and a shooter not a redneck from the woods. I know what is on the end of my barrel and its only right to warn anyone who is around when I am shooting it. If I turned it around I would be pissed too if someone unloaded 5 ft from me without warning.[/blockquote]
See, I could deal with that and have a good shoot with someone like you. Unfortunatley people like you are few and far between at public ranges.
Unforunately you are right about most people not caring about other people. I normally shot at a private range so it doesn't matter to me. I have a .450 Marlin that has a brake and ifI do shot it at a public range I move out to the end away from the cover. If you shoot it under the cover the noise is really loud so I try to not disturb the other shooters as much as possible.
