Tell the idiot that since the 2nd has nothing to do with hunting, he shouldn't be able to hunt.

I like it. I should have just asked him if he was a range officer, knowing that he wasn't, when he said no I would have politely asked him to keep his trap SHUT.

Heheh... There is a range near me that will not allow you to use any sort of human silouette target.
Asked one of the RO's why and got the same response Idaho-ar15 did. "Promotes killing." They also only allow one round at a time in all centerfire rifles, and 5 rounds in a rimfire and handgun. Sucks ass.... Av. |

A lot of this so-called thought process comes from the NRA. In its attempts to be politically correct, the NRA has an official policy of no humanoid targets, even in its Personal Protection course. The NRA-certified trainers I know are not politically correct.

This bozo's attitude is exactly what's going to be the downfall of all gun owners...anti's chip away a bit at a time. Worse, he's teaching his son the same opinion.
I would have said 'blow me', but probably not if the kid were there. Which range?? I'll be in Idaho on some land my wife inherited as soon as we live out the capital gains tax deal on our house in the PRK; I did have high hopes for a major additude change in Idaho. hanko |

The silouette target is the one the State of Texas uses for their concealed carry tests, and that's what I practice/train with. I own my guns because I want to be able to protect myself and my family from criminals, not Green circles with numbers in them. The fact that I enjoy shooting my guns is of course secondary.

Avalon01, at that range you mention I'd just wear all my spare magazine pouches and in each magazine I'd have one round loaded. Then I'd proceed to burn through 10-12 magazines as quickly as possible and if anyone asked I'd just tell them I'm practicing my reloading drills. Hehe, even doing reloads you could fire pretty fast with the mag pouches properly positioned.
I can't stand some of the range rules I've seen, not much one can do with them though. As for those twinkiedicks that don't like black rifles, funny that I can make most of them respect my accurized AR15 when they see what kind of groups it turns in or after they shoot it and see that there is literally zero recoil. |

Believe it or not, there is a range by me that does not allow silloette targets during hunting season. it's ok tofold the head down and us the rest of the target but there can be no represetation of a head. Also it is "single shot only" during the season.

How many of you would tack up a b-27 silhouette if you were taking for the first time your mother shooting? or your daughter? Having that black shape around the target is NOT going to make a better defensive shooter out of you. Make no mistake I CAN see you all's point, but remember we are playing a PR game here and there are more "plaids" than there are us. Same low-pro thinking would tell me not to wear my ar15.com t-shirt into a hunter check station.
And yes I do use 27s myself simply cause they're the only thing big enough for me to practice at 50 yds with but it's a non-issue for me 'cause my club I'm usually the only one there the time of day I go, and all the other members are right-wing-extremist assault-rifle-owning gun-nuts (like us). |

That pisses me off. I remember once at what I believe is a friendly range (Seminole County Gun & Archery Association) being told not to refer to a gun as a weapon because it gives us a bad name. At least they allowed anything, even NFA guns.
Here in Pensacola we have the Champion Range in Pace, but they have a 2 second rule. But, as for human targets. Shit every range in Florida carries Human Targets. In fact 99% of their targets are human. There was a range in S. Florida I visited once and I'll have to get back there sometime where (and this was a few months ago) they had targets of Arabs holding AK-47s. These were obviously Ragheads (aka Terrorists). They also had a nice hostage target with a guy with a gun holding a hostage to practice shooting. I don't remember the range's name but it is in Pompano Beach located south of Sample Road just off of US-1/Dixie Hwy./Federal Hwy. I like Human targets because I can practice distant headshots. I can also realisticly tell where my bullets are going. For example, I can shoot for the sensitive areas or guts to practice for what to do to the Bin Ladens of the world. |

I'm with Hielo, uglygun and the others on this one. Instead of acting immature and mouthing off to these people look at this as your opportunity to educate them instead. Not your job? Well think of it another way. This is also a chance for you to "steal" one more person from the anti-gun/assault weapon crowd. Stick it to HCI, Brady, Feinstein, Schumer, et.al.., it sure beats flapping your jaw and accomplishing nothing.

I agree 100%! It's amazing how easy it is to bring over most people. People who are anti usually have little experience with guns. Bring them shooting and show them that it is fun, safe and a positive activity. People who are against "assault weapons" will often change their mind after the blow through their first 30 round clip! Heck, my mom was hooked on shooting after she tried my dad's 10/22 for the first time a few months ago. Next time someone starts spouting anti gun rhetoric, invite them to the range!!

I felt kind of self-conscious when I downloaded and printed out the minature IDPA and IPSC targets from the www.recguns.com website, but when I went to the range, they had targets that were PICTURES of people (bad guy with gun, perp with knife to hostage's neck, etc). You want to blow some circuits, find a few of those for your hunter friend!
