Cartoon: People You Meet at the Range

[dukalmighty]

"The Reloader"

Watching where every piece of brass falls... like the fat kid at lunch, 'you gonna eat that?'

I prefer to be called a "Brass Hawk".Laugh all you want,it only costs me .06 a round to shoot

Where's the Survivalist, and the Hermit? Gotta have those, in the cartoon. They seem frequent additions, at least at the ranges I've been to.

What about the ladies in low cut shirts, skirts and high heels? I always get a laugh on that one.

Funny thing, I can't seem to recall how well they shot. To tell the truth...I'm not sure they even hit a target. And I know I was watching, I distinctly remember watching.

Wow, I think some people need to get a life lol. Do you know I seldom notice what others are wearing lol. I do talk to a few people at the range and I guess the guys are wearing jeans and t shirts, can't say I noticed much. The lady's wear all kinds of things. A few come in skirts and nice blouses and heels, it is ladies night from 6 to 8 so they probably come straight from work.

I wear what ever I happen to have on. That can mean sweat pants and t shirt or shorts and short t shirt. It can mean saddles or tennis shoes. Only thing I worry about is that my nails are painted lol. HEY, lets be serious I have had more than one person look at my gun and I want to make sure my nails look nice lol.

My husband laughs, " You didn't use to care how you looked when you went to the range. " I know, but there are a more ladies there now than there use to be. You don't think woman dress up for men do you lol.

Yes, I have done the hot dance when a casing went down the front or back of my shirt and guys have laughed. No, I didn't try to take my shirt off lol I just got the darn thing out. Yes, a guys casing hit the back of my ankle when I was wearing saddles and made it bleed all over the place ( no he didn't laugh ). Yes, I have gotten excited and done a YA ME when I got 5 in the bulls eye. Get over it lol.

Warning: Serious post to follow, skip if this offends you in a 'funny' thread.

Honestly, I think you should practice how you dress... if you normally wear a shirt and tie when you carry, practice that way - likewise, if you wear high heels and a dress, practice that way. Maybe not all the time, but often enough so that you know what it's like in your day to day attire.

If my wife caught me practicing in skirt and heels, practice would be the least of my worries.

Ahh, so that's why you chose the range that's an hour from your house.

I like the low-cut blouses. More than once I've seen cleavage-seeking casings fly directly from pistol to deep between the breasts. The subsequent dancing / strip show can be very entertaining.

Took a girl shooting who was.... Lets say blessed.... One double tap later she was dancing around trying to pull her shirt off... Might have been one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

I once had hot brass get stuck between my toes......

[Bstock87]

The mustache is spot on, the red necks are usually on the shot gun part of the range where I'm at.

What about the guy who shows up to the defensive pistol match wearing cargo shorts, athletic shoes, and a superhero t-shirt. Does not appear to have a gun on him. Puts on the one piece of gun related apparel he owns and only wears at the range, a black cap with big NRA in gold. He puts on shooting glasses and hearing protection and when he steps up to the line you gotta wonder if he forgot something. Buzzer goes off and the shirt comes up and there's the pistol in his concealed carry holster. It's a bone stock GLOCK 19 and he's shootin' store bought ammo. He's not gonna come in first but that pistol doesn't skip a beat. What a newb. Someone get this guy some Blackhawk! and Midway USA catalogs.

Then there's the guy at the casual defensive pistol match that has to question every COF and interject that in IDPA this that, and in IPSC they flim flam foo foo, Bianchi cup who ha, etc. He's wearing the GLOCK hat, 5.11 pants, 5.11 vest, and using his pimped out tuned up GLOCK 34 with his just over power factor handloads. You chuckle a little when he has a malfunction follwed by "damn whatzit primers", "musta not got a charge in that one", or "gotta check my crimps". He's good, fast, and accurate but damn.






Proud to say I'm the first guy.

I've never been to a civilian range, so I guess that would make me a Visitor.

[pgrass101]

i guess that would make me a visitor.

from another planet!!!!!!

For the record:
I think you should wear whatever you want or feel comfortable wearing. I am not of the sheep variety.

For the ladies:
I'm not a pig. I adore women. I like the heels, skirt, nails and hair. In fact when the pretty lady at the range beats me I don't even mind. IMHO a woman makes everything look good. And just for you ladies on the forum, I hereby swear I will divert my eyes and pay more attention to your grouping. (Shot grouping, I swear that's what I meant to say!)

Yes, the poster missed a lot of stereotypes.

The Hermit and The Re-loader got me laughing!
