We had a kid come in our range a few months back who fired nothing but 22 shorts out of a small revolver, which, in and of itself isn’t all that odd, but he stayed in his lane for over 2 hours! Fire six shots, reload, fire six shots, reload, on and on and on. He never took a break, never changed targets, never really tried to hit a particular spot on his target, just reloading and dumping 22 shorts for over 2 hours!What possible reason would anyone have for 200 rounds of 5.56 downrange out of an AR 15 with a scope at 10 yards?? Next question, Why would anyone that knows NOTHING about a firearm think themselves capable of training another person. Not holding my breath waiting on answers.

Either I'm weird or these people are very weird. Same thing with this guy, never changed the target and shot a hole in the target and kept on shooting. I would estimate that at least 50% of the people I see are shooting at the paper, anywhere on the paper. The goal seems to be just hitting the paper. ??
Meh, I am lazy. I put a target up, run a drill and then I aim for other parts of the target... corners, writing, etc.
I was finishing up the day with Jason one time... I said I would grab the targets off the board to throw away... he said wait, I will get it... and proceeded to shoot the staples to drop the target. I might have called him a smartass showoff, but I was impressed.
I do this frequently when I am shooting groups or otherwise working on accuracy. Sometimes I fire a round in an open spot on the target then shoot a group centered on that hole. So someone who has no idea what I'm doing, it looks like I'm randomly shooting all over the target. Someone who understands will see groups.

I know this will be hard for some to believe but two different people have asked in the last two shifts if the lines on the floor are marked at feet or yards? [FONT=&][/FONT]
Overheard "only one shot (out of 5) hit the center, I don't know what happened".
3 out of 4 people shooting at a 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper @ 5 yards to determine discount received on their purchase missed the paper. Still when you suggest training I've yet to have anyone say please tell me more about the training. ?? I know these revelations don't surprise most of you but I'm still disturbed with what I see and hear. So many people with a potentially dangerous tool that have NO basic knowledge of how to use that tool.

And people are surprised when these same people shoot a hole in the house or one of their family.
I’ll throw in a little ray of hope with all this talk of people getting training: almost daily at our range, sometimes numerous times per day, people actually DO come in and ask about our training classes, some register for the next available class on the spot, and others are just gathering information for when they actually have purchased a firearm! An older couple came in just a few days ago and said they had recently moved to a more rural area and had agreed they should get a gun, but did not want to buy one until they have taken a training course! There are definitely idiots who shouldn’t be running around with guns, but there are some sensible folks who think things through, those are the ones who make the range a fun place to work.

Discount for hitting paper? What’s the details?
