Today I was at the rifle range with a friend of mine and his son. The range was fairly empty, and we were shooting our muzzleloaders at some clay birds I had put on the 50 yard back stop making them about 60 yards away. There were 4 left and we was taking turns loading our guns and letting his boy blast away. The 22 range is right next to the 50 yard range, and some jerk showed up with an AK and watched the boy who is 12 shooting at the clay birds. He fired a few rounds at the a target on the 22 and pistol range then decided to shoot diagonally across both ranges spraying down the berm and breaking the last 4 birds the boy was shooting at.
Needless to say, I was hot. Had the boy not been there I think the fella would have got a taste of a brass butt plate. Why do people have to be like that? Is that what we have become as a people? I told Bryan (the boy) that the next time he is out of school that his dad can bring him to my farm and we will shoot there where we won't be bothered. I had to leave because the longer I hung around the madder I became. The way this guy was dressed, with his haircut and neatly groomed mustache, he looked like an off duty cop, right down to the piece in the ankle holster. That is the last thing I need is to go all PTSD on a ******* cop.
Sorry for the rant guys but I had to vent somewhere, and was wondering if anyone has had the same experience?
Best wishes,
Joe
