I madeTwo Trips to the Cheatham Gun Range Today!!!

[TerryW]

I made two trips to the CHEATHAM WMA today!

First and LAST all in one trip!

Between the old man, sitting at his bench rest, pointing his loaded 44 mag(finger on trigger) at my wife and I while his buddy changed targets and the kids shooting from the rifle lanes to the pistol targets. Then the same kids were shooting from the pistol lanes at the rifle targets. At more than 45 angles to targets! IE no real guaranteed backstop for the lead! Don't ever shoot sideways on a range!

I am DONE with public shooting ranges! I guess after years of training on LEO ranges I am just a little sensitive about some dumba$$ shooting me! WTF is wrong with these people? Guns are not toys and these guys never THOUGHT about where TF their barrel was pointed or where their bullets would end up. My wife and I lasted about 15 minutes. My wife, a new shooter, who I have spent months and months teaching her about guns and range rules, pointed out the goobers and said she wanted to leave because she didn't feel safe around these guys.

RANT OFF.

Sorry about bitching. My wife and I really wanted a day of fun shooting and the last thing we wanted was to feel like we were at a drunken shooting event.

Yeah, that place has a (deservedly) bad reputation for yahoos. Glad you or your wife didn't end up getting shot. For what its worth the TWRA range on Hobson Pike is a lot better and more (some may say excessively) controlled. You may have better luck there, does not have nearly the same "idiot" clientele.

Not to change the subject entirely but dang it TerryW...I just about poked a hole in my laptop screen trying to kill the damn gnat that was crawling around on the screen! That thing is to lifelike to the uninitiated.

Back to goobs and guns, in progress.

Rightwinger, lets call it even. You made me spit coffee on my screen laughing.

that gnat got me too.
