I tell you what.. public ranges are the most distracting places you can shoot. Guns going off, people laughing, and there always seems to be one loud mouth that has to holler out his instructions or horse laugh at ear splitting decibels.

I remember once, I was at a range and the stations were really close. I was shooting my Remington Woodsmaster 742 30-06 carbine. And this fellow came up with a chair. He wanted to watch his friend shooting next to me. And he was about to sit on the ejection side of me, way too close.

I mentioned that might not be a good place to sit. And like the intelligent person he was.. he ignored me. I figured he'd learn. That little Semi Auto rifle ejected a 30-06 brass and it flipped through the air and landed right in his front shirt pocket. Now anyone that ever grabbed one of those ejected cartridges knows.. THEY ARE HOT!! All of a sudden, he screamed like he sat on a snake. And I watched him tear the pocket right off his shirt. He gave me this dirty look. And I could tell he was mad at me. So I did what anyone else would do, I smiled and ignored him. And he did move before I could shoot again.

Actually for the first time out, that rifle shows a lot of promise. Were you swabbing between shots. I heard you have to swab a .32 to make them accurate.
