    There are one or two at every range or club I have been too. I am almost 71 and it has happened all my life. Usually there will also be one goosing butterflies with a knife or bayonet.

    Had a good one at the range the other day...

    Gets out of his truck. I call it from the start seeing the combat boots and BDU's... he proceeds to put on body armor, a helmet, gets out an AR-15 with so much crap on it the weight is over 15 pounds(vs my minimalist AR at 7 pounds). He goes to the 25 yard line when we point out it is for 22 rimfire only, or pistols.

    So he moves to the 50 yard lane. Fiddles and fusses with all the crap on the rifle then proceeds to make a 12" target look like it was hit with buckshot with NO shots on center...

    he waves his target saying isn't that great then deflates seeing the target I pulled from the 300 yard line with every shot within a 4" circle(shooting cheap Federal ammo). From a stripped down AR with just a scope on it. No forward assist, no dust cover... slick side lightweight upper...

    Only problem is most of us quiet, modest looking old guys can’t see worth crap anymore so you better be paying attention.

    My problem is that it's a 45 minute drive to the range and it's all steal targets. Their rifle range only goes to 100 yds. I practice when I can, but that's usually something like once a month (haven't yet gone for Nov).

    That said, on my last trip, I was hitting a 6" plate at 25 yds with my 1911. Only missed once or twice out of ~20 shots (then the plate fell off the hanger, the range closed, and I went home...).

    He read the claims on the box and applied them to himself...

    I've shot at a NATO demonstration shoot at 1600 yards and put 3 rounds touching into a 20 inch bullseye (bragging)
    The gun was 90mm on a M48A1 Tank, OK,, go ahead and top that !

    Good Shooting

    Well maybe a 16" gun on the old Battle Ships at 41,622 yards?
