Tru dat!!! I have had guys come out to my place and shoot and when I asked if they wanted to use the bench they said no. So I said ok, grabbed a cup of coffee and chair and proceeded to watch. I saw the one guy pull out his weapon, load it and then start shooting. He pulled the scope adjustment caps off and begin to start twisting like he was dialing in an old radio for Tokyo!!! I asked what he was doing and he told me he was sighting in his gun. I asked him if he needed to use the concrete bench and bags. He told me he knew what he was doing and that I should mind my own business when it came to his weapons!!!! I very gently suggested that the bench and bags may help him for his scope adjustments a bit more accurate for his needs. He proceeds to strongly inform me that there are no benches and bags in the timber and that I should mind my own business, AGAIN. I then went inside, pulled out my ML, my 20ga Mossberg Trophy Slugster, 44 Mag Lone Eagle and my .460. I sat down at the bench with all 4 and proceeded to cut out the bullseye of his target, which up to this point was null and void of any holes except 1 at the very top corner. We were shooting 50yds. I then asked him again if he needed any help. He told me that he would take care of it and I should leave him to fix his weapon problems and not bother him. Upon this last encounter, he was drinking some coffee and I detected a smell of alcohol. I asked if he had been drinking and he said that is steadies his nerves. I then STRONGLY informed him to clear his weapon, case it and return to the vehicle upon which he arrived in. He said that it didn't hurt anything and that he was over 21. I then again informed him that he was at MY house, MY private range and that if he pursued this issue any further, MY report they would be reading upon his introduction to the locals hospitality!!! His partners were now FULLY engulfed with his ignorant decision and ******ed him away and back home. The one guy who we all had common acquaintance with apologized beyond the end of the world for this and promised that he didn't know and that he would never bring him back. I told him that and along with maybe never to around him with weapons may another smart decision as well. This just happened 2 days ago.
