Do you have any range rituals? For example after shooting, on the drive home I drink a Yoohoo. I did this with my dad one of the first times he took me out shooting. Now I'm on my own, and I still make that stop for Yoohoo. Hell I can't remember a time when this didn't happen. Anyways lets hear it hive, I know I'm not the only one (but will probably told so in the first post).  |

I undress, oil myself, face south and pray to the gods of accuracy to bless my session afterwards I sacrifice a live chicken and slather myself in its blood.    Can I be the official leg-humper for this thread?

| We used to go to Cooter Brown's after the range and get a sandwich or some wings, as the individual preferred, then to my house for a cleaning session, then a walk to Madigan's for beer and wild BS stories. Sadly, one of the crew was in the hospital since late April, and only left on May 25th to be cremated. Haven't been since, though we are arranging for half of his ashes (his sister wants to take the other half back to PA) to be loaded up in some 9mms if possible, 12ga shells if not, and the remainder of the old Carrollton Station Gun Club will go to Honey Island and blast him around one of his favorite places. |

If I'm just going on my own to practice (as opposed to an organized practice/match), I always start by dry firing a few times with each weapon before firing the first live round.
I got started shooting with NRA smallbore rifle, and it's just a habit that's stuck with me. If I'm going to a match or similiar where there isn't a good place to dry fire ahead of time easily, I just skip it. EDIT: I also always wash my hands after shooting, either at the range (if it has facilities) or first thing when I get home. I also sweep up my brass, throw away shot targets, and generally try to make sure the range is cleaner when I leave then when I got there. |

And if I'm feeling extra ambitious, I sweep up the brass that other litterers have left behind

Don't really have any. I do tend to shake a lot when I arrive for some reason, but when the time comes to shoot I am fine. It's not due to any fear of weapons since I literally sleep with a rifle every night, and it's not due to loud noises either (which I have no problem with). I think it might be because I always have to pee when I get there. |

I generally go shooting with the same 3 shooting buddies. We rotate on who brings the cigars for when we're done shooting. Rain or shine, 95 degrees, or 5 degrees.
We try to have something new whether it's brand, length, or size. It's a nice way to cap off the day. |

If I am at an indoor range I always keep one extra magazine loaded. If I have to load magazines, the extra full one is in the handgun so the pistol is never just sitting empty.
Shooting outside, on private land, I never leave my rifle behind me. Always carry it with me when I check my targets. No matter where I shoot, always make sure I leave with one full magainze. Never take more than 2 guns when I got shooting. Pistol and a rifle shooting outside, usually just one pistol when shooting inside. |
