CurlyCarl Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Let me paint the sceen for you.... Its a month before Rifle Elk opens in Arizona, so of coarse its off to the rifle range to sight in. Sure Ive done it, we've all done it. But its always the guys with the .300 RUM, 7 RUM, or .300 Wby and maybe some .338s in there as well, that always stand out. They are middle to late aged, with a weatherby ultra light or custom rifle that ALWAYS has a barrel break. They bring along with them 2 buddies of equal age and a container with 50 of their latest and greatest handloads. Oh yeah, and the shooter or one of his buddies has a tatoo on his leg of questionable taste- even for the rifle range. And the sighting in begins, but no it doesnt take just 2 or 5 or 10 shots, it takes the whole dang container to just really make sure its sighted in. And every time the trigger gets pulled your hit with percussion wave that giggles your nuts like 2 avacado pits in the sink garbage disposal. Can anyone else relate to this experiance?

COOSEFAN Report post Posted November 3, 2008 I think it's funny to read your post, 'cause I just read a different post that illustrated very well why I'd rather see guys "sighting in" their rifles at the range, rather than in the feild at an animal! Again, at least they were at the range and it's probably not a bad thing that they were "really" making sure it was sighted in! Sorry to hear it ruined your time though, incidents like that are why I take my "nut-giggler" out to my own private range out in the desert! JIM> That is hilarious.....I think I just finally found the name of my new gun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stray Horse Report post Posted November 3, 2008 How about the commandos with ARs that are dressed in camo and are have magazine pouches on! I love the cute tatoos too. Good horses come from good mothers. It's the same for people too! Most people laugh when I tell them what I hunt elk with, but it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyCarl Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Stray Horse, you are correct, those are the real range commandos, i just wanted a catchy thread title, those guys are a whole different story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Adding another line to Stray Horse's guys... Once there AR's magazine is empty, the reach for their side arm and empty that magazine as fast as the can. And of course it is at a human silohuette target...

jeepers creepers Report post Posted November 3, 2008 I went there last month and the guy beside me probably shot 200 rounds of .223 in 15 minutes! At break my side was completely littered with emptys and this guy does nothing about it. Pack up his @#&$ and left. Just another SWAT wannabe, I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And although I am only in my late twenty's and have no tats (but dont worry I still have time) I do think it is great fun to rattle the tin, giggle nuts, and clear out the surounding benches...always seem to get the best reactions after the first shot!

DesertBull Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah, and all you AR Rangers need to get a brass deflector or a net at your bench. I'm tired of getting hot brass rained down on my beautiful, bald head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Haha, I'm not one of those guys, but I did take my dads 30-378 wby to the range back home one day to sight it in for an elk hunt, this bad boy has a break on the end that looks like an anti-aircraft gun. Anyhow, there were only a couple other guys there, so before I shot it I said "you fellas may wanna back up a few feet", cause dad told me its loud as heck. When I touched the first one off, I knocked all of the barn swallow nests off of the roof!!! The mud from them fell all over the place! It was pretty funny, I absolutelly hate muzzlebreaks, after using that thing at the range I figured I'd go back to my smooth barreled 7 STW instead!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngbuck Report post Posted November 4, 2008 I try and make it a point to only shoot my MB rifles early in the am or on a weekday. (helps that i used to live about 3 minutes from usery)When I was a kid thats what i hated more than anything, was MB guns. I do get a kick outa the range commandos though. I always get a laugh or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
