I tend to notice ammo at the range more than anything else - like when people are trying to shoot tiny groups with mil spec stuff. Don't care that they are shooting from the bench with a tripod, etc. but often wonder if they know what their rifle/ammo combo is capable/incapable of. |

I gotcha bro, its a fundamental thing that was pounded in your head (along with others among here), where you look at a people and cannot understand why they have such a bad fundamental shooting base. Trust me I know and understand. Just realize shooting is like any sport. There is going to be good, bad and horrible people. Its like being the short skinny nerd kid that cannot play basket ball with a real NBA jersey, expensive basketball shoes, sweatbands and the whole nine, just no basketball lessons |

"For some people, ammo is the quickest way to turn money into noise".
I heard this from a friend who works at an indoor range that is so popular I have seen people standing in the waiting area shoulder to shoulder with those little slips of paper with the numbers on them with the digital sign on the wall saying "now serving number ________." I remarked to him how busy it was. That was his reply up above. I got a chuckle out of it. Much like fireworks. |

What you could do is mentor and help these other shooters, shoot better. Or at least give them some helpful tips and suggest they get some training. Some people just don't know, they follow what they see other people doing or what they watch on TV.
I'm interested to know, what percentage of gun shooters spend more money (and equivalent time) on proper training versus the cost of their setup. |

Come on now man. If people shoot from the bench that's fine , I just haven't seen it much. If all your experience with firearms comes from the military, then it is entirely possible that you are just as ignorant about recreational shooting as those civilians are about how things work on a two way range. I punch holes in paper, but not because I'm trying to be a badass. I'm not anywhere close to being a badass. I'm not even in the same solar system as Planet Badass. I do it because it is fun. Some days I'm the guy over there with the strange looking .22 bolt action rifle trying to put them through the same hole. Some days I'm that guy on the sporting clay range. Some days I'm in the pistol pit practicing for an IDPA match. Some days I'm shooting my AR in the pit, and other days.....I'm sitting at a bench trying to figure out if my reloads are okay, because I just made about 600 rounds with my Dillon. But you have no way of knowing that because I'm not wearing a sign on my head that clearly details my agenda for the gun range. The shooting sports aren't one dimensional. Glad you got a confidence boost and all. Some days you might feel like the best shooter on the line. But I assure you that if you go to the range long enough, there will be a time when you'll feel like you're the worst shooter there. And you'll probably be right. We may not live in the era in which the gun culture produces Ad and Plinky Toepperwein, but there are plenty of folks around that will humble you. Trust me, my friend, they are out there. They kick my ass every other weekend.

Jesus fucking Christ, arf.com can be a bunch of flaming fucking assholes sometimes.
 It's not like the thread was a total mystery. He's recounting his experience at a civ range. I've seen the same fucking story a hundred times before but everyone decides to shit on this Marine's thread because he joined in 2013?
OP, seen the same thing. Guy mounts his optics on his rifle, rips off a mag, pulls his target, and wonders why he's only got a few half circle marks on the edges. I thought about mentioning zeroing first but decided "fuck it, not my concern". Read another thread where a guy had someone else shooting at his targets. He called him on it and the guy squares off on him like he's Clint Eastwood and ready to throw down. 
I've seen two ND's at open ranges. One was an idiot who had his pistol at the gun ready position and put a round directly into a beam over his head. Another guy was in the low ready position with his AR and cranked around directly into the concrete deck in front of him...I always see people sweeping each other with their muzzles, fucking around with unfamiliar levers, switches, buttons and not paying any attention to where their muzzle is. It's terrifying! LOL I won't take my nephew to a public range anymore, it's just too dangerous. And when I go to a public range, I always try to get the space all the way to the left so the idiots are in front of me. |

Usually me and a friend shoot on his dad's property and it's all i've known for the past couple years. We couldn't shoot on his land so we went to a public range. I shot how I normally shoot; about 60/40 prone to standing, fair amount of rapid fire, as well as some precision the best I could with only irons. I was solid out to 150 yds but after that, I couldn't see shit. Almost everyone else pulled up benches, unfolded tripods, and mounted ACOGs on their high speed ARs with mounted flash lights and other goodies. I have only shot with civilians a few times. The guys today were bad, literally the worst I've ever seen, despite the benches, tripods, and ACOGs. They put targets out between 50-150 YDS or so, had shitty fundamentals, and couldn't hit shit for the most part. I was just kind of shocked.... at their poor technique, shooting, and nice gear. I'm sure they are not representative of the shooting community whats ever, and I'm also sure lots here could run circles around me (not a call out thread). I had never shot a gun prior to joining the corps; qualified sharpshooter at PI and expert the remaining times. If your new get some training. How popular are benches when shooting these days, when you are allowed to shoot in the prone or however you want for the most part? The few near me were not zeroing. CSB Thank you for your service. Were they unsafe, doing muzzle sweeps, ignoring cold range/hot range commands, or other dangerous behaviors? Maybe they just wanted to go burn some ammo for simple fun. I think that is still allowed. One of my greatest pleasures is simple plinking. There are times when that is what I want to do. There are times when I am working on specific skills. I find no need to explain myself to anyone else on the range why I am there. As long as all are shooting safely, I think I can ignore what they are doing and concentrate on my own shooting. If you feel the need to "enlighten the poor civilian masses" might I suggest you start a shooting school and see if anyone wants to pay you for your knowledge 
Reason I started thread was to ask about these benches and to point out all these fucks with 3000 plus rifles that don't know how to shoot worth shit. Is it common to use a bench when not zeroing ? I've never seen people use benches unless zeroing or precision shooting. No one asked for an explanation , I've just never seen anything like that before. I will not be starting a shooting school, I have taught several friends the basics. Yes. It's very common. People like to shoot groups off a stable platform to see the accuracy of their rifle, not the shooter. I know many old timers who shoot every week, just go out with a .22 bolt action and see how small a group their rifle can make. It's fun. They catalog what ammo load/lot or batch makes the tightest groups and then buy a shitload of it. They shoot the heads off little green army men at 50 yrds. |

It can be an eye opener at the public range. That is primarily where I shoot. Really enjoy it though, don't know any other place you'd meet such a wide range of shooters.
Based on what OP comes from, (shooting arena), surprised he was as gentle as he was in his post. Been going to the PR a long while and some of the stuff still surprises me. |

I suck at shooting, but I have fun while I'm shooting badly. That's life.
